«nate...» largely regional.. yes... but not entirely.... I do think age and generation plays a roll. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:18pm) «Mamalissa!» do as the romanians do. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:18pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» if i was still in michigan, i would be saying pop. i don't agree that age has anything to do with it. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:19pm) «Jan Klump» I don't think you'll catch anyone in Michigan saying soda unless they want ice cream in their pop (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:19pm) «nate...» just like when I was in ireland... I had to ask for a can of "minerals" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:19pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» and frankly, as a person who as far as i know has never lived in the midwest, i'm not sure you're qualified to say, nate. no offense. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:20pm) «jaye» i can't think of anywhere in seattle i'd go to -get- ice cream in my soda (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:20pm) «nate...» I spent the whole time thinking it was some kind of joke they were playing on me... and at any time, they'd all burst out laughing and say, "HAHAH!!! did you ACTUALLY think we'd call it that?? you stupid american!" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:20pm) «nate...» melinda: I'm as qualified as anyone here.... having known plenty of people from the midwest... and having been out there a bit. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:20pm) «Jan Klump» jaci, don't they have ice cream sodas in Seattle? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:21pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» did you grow up there? honestly, i've been back to my hometown and every single person still says pop. young or old. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:21pm) «nate...» as I said, I'm not saying it's as important as region... but it does play a roll. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:21pm) «Jan Klump» "been out there a bit" means what, nate? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:21pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» the only reason i say soda is so that people out here will understand me. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:22pm) «jaye» if they do, i've never stumbled across one. of course, i probably haven't been paying attention (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:22pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» and as i said, i disagree. the only people i know from michigan who say soda (young or old) are people who have moved to someplace where they say pop. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:22pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» or soda rather (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:22pm) «Jan Klump» now there's a new twist....a region that doesn't have ice cream sodas (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:22pm) «Jan Klump» right, melinda (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:23pm) «nate...» well, you're entitled to comment on your personal experience, and I'm entitled to comment on mine. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:23pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» well, as a native, i think i have a lot more personal experience. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:23pm) «nate...» there, yes. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:23pm) «Jan Klump» your limited personal experience, it appears, nate (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:23pm) «nate...» here, no. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:23pm) «nate...» point being... I only speak from what I've seen and heard. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:23pm) «nate...» and so do you. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:24pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» my point being i am from frickin' michigan. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:24pm) «Jan Klump» i'm moving on to beasi.net (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:24pm) «nate...» you've obviously not talked to everyone in michigan any more than I have. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:24pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» well i spent 18 years of my life talking to pretty much only people in michigan every day. and they all said pop. every single one. i never heard "soda" until i went to college in pittsburgh. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:24pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» my point is that it's regional. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:25pm) «jaye» i'm sorry - i didn't mean to start this up again - i just thought it was funny that they ran a story on it right after we had the poll (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:25pm) «nate...» welp... maybe it's dependant on where in michigan... I know quite a few people from ann arbor and that area who say soda.. *shrugs* (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:25pm) «jaye» bye jan! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:25pm) «nate...» I'm just surprised that the midwesterners are getting all worked up. *laughs* (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:25pm) «nate...» it's not like it's anything to get offended over. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:26pm) «nate...» "how dare you say that you've met people from my state who say soda?!?!?!" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:26pm) «Jan Klump» people who grew up in ann arbor or went to college there? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:26pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» we're getting worked up because we're sick of people saying that our phrase is inferior. when truly there is no real differencce. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:26pm) «nate...» grew up. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:26pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» i'm just sick of the frickin' snobbery. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:26pm) «nate...» who's being a snob?? *confused look* (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:26pm) «nate...» It's all just good-natured ribbing... sheesh. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:27pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» read the recent fhdc poll, and hear everyone say that people who say pop are uneducated or it irks them to hear it. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:27pm) «nate...» right.... and... perhaps you should learn to take a joke? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:27pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» i'm sick of it. i've been hearing it for too many years, and it always comes with a smirk. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:27pm) «nate...» just a thought.... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:28pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» whatever. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:28pm) «Jason Reiser» It's *phosphate* you troglodytes! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:28pm) «nate...» *laughs* (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:28pm) «nate...» maybe that's the thing we should do.. just ALL start calling it something else entirely.. so melinda won't flip. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:28pm) «nate...» how about "bob" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:28pm) «Jan Klump» by the way, we did order phosphates when I was growing up, but it wasn't the same as pop. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:29pm) «Jason Reiser» at least phosphate is historically accurate. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:29pm) «nate...» jan: really? what was it? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:29pm) «Jason Reiser» yeah? what were they? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:29pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» nate, i don't care if you call it soda or pop. i'm just sick of my regionalisms being mocked. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:29pm) «nate...» melinda: well, I wasn't mocking them... so I don't understand why you're getting all worked up, that's all. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:30pm) «Jason Reiser» Pop: a style of music; Coke: a product of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company; Soda: a child's name (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:31pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» nate, because people have been making that "joke" since I was 18. It stopped being funny a long time ago. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:32pm) «Jan Klump» you know, I can't remember just what was in a phosphate. Flavoring and extra fizzy soda water??? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «nate...» melinda: what "joke" are you referring to? I'm honestly lost here.... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» the one you think i should learn to take. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «Jason Reiser» I'm guessing it was like most soda/pop/coke was in the 50s - carbonated water and syrup mixed on the spot. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:33pm) «nate...» right.... but.... when did I say anything snobbish or mean to cause you to attack *me*? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «Jan Klump» but we ordered phosphates at the counter and bought pop in a bottle (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «Jason Reiser» I'm just glad my job isn't "soda jerk". Imagine how they felt about the symantics of this whole thing! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «nate...» *laughs* (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» oh, maybe when you teased my mother that she only says pop because of her age? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:34pm) «nate...» and... melinda, how was that directed at you, exactly? as I said at the time, I said it in jest... but, based on the fact that I have seen it vary by generation. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «nate...» even so, I wasn't talking to you. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» she is my MOTHER nate. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «nate...» that's nice. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «nate...» I realize. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «Jan Klump» hee - soda jerk makes us pop people feel better (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «jaye» jaci's an angel. is still googling around, trying to find out exactly what's the deal with phosphates (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «nate...» jaci: let us know if you find out! I'm curious! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «Jan Klump» I do love the fact that my daughter will come to my rescue (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «nate...» I guess, really, I just don't understand why you felt the need to all of a sudden attack me, melinda, and I don't exactly appreciate it. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:37pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» thanks mom. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:37pm) «Jan Klump» now now...was she attacking you harder than you were attacking? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:37pm) «nate...» now, I'm going to drop it.. and hope we can go back to being friendly around here. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «nate...» sheesh. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» nate, i really wasn't attacking you, just questioning your knowledge of the subject, considering that you aren't from the area, and considering that two obvious generations right here on the wall both say pop. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «Melinda J. Beasi» i'm leaving, so don't worry about it. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «Jason Reiser» I wonder if there were other terms... soda jerk, coke ninny, pop putz, tonic jackass... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «Paul D. Beasi» Paul D. Beasi sighs. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «nate...» phosphate phu... umm.. nevermind. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «nate...» ;) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «Jan Klump» hee hee. i haven't heard them. i do want to get to the latest poll on beasi.net. tah tah (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «Jason Reiser» phreak (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «jaye» well, here's a start. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «nate...» huh.. interesting! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «Jason Reiser» hrmm... I've got a poll idea that should keep this up... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «nate...» so, it was just fruit syrup and seltzer..... the precursor to soda/pop, maybe? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «Jason Reiser» how did they stay awake without caffeine?!? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «nate...» lord knows.... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «nate...» I mean, there is sleep... but that's a poor substitute.....
