It's not stupid, it's regional. It's like asking for a hoagy, or a sub, or a grinder or the other one - which are all sandwiches, but have different names. And it's ingrained. After all these years I ain't calling it a soda. It's too many syllables.

Diet Coke. 3 syllables. OK are you fucking happy now? I work until midnight and all you people can do is nit pick? Call it a fucking pop. Or at least recognize what I am asking for when I ask for a pop.

What if I want a Sprite?

I don't know what they teach you about economics in those fancy Northern schools, but down here in the non-North, we learn in Introduction to Microeconomics that if you are working for it and have not left, it's your market value. It might not be what you think you're worth, but it's sure as hell what the "market" values you at.

What do you say now? "I'd like a pop, please. Make it a Sprite."

If so, that's stupid. You should just ask for a Sprite.

Dear- go back and delete your last. One would think it impossible to whiff on this discussion, but there you go.

Mark it down. BnB doesn't like girth.

Diet coke should be three, based on your apparent geo origins.

If you want a sprite, or even a diet coke, you are going to have to say it no matter what. "pop" and "soda" and "coke" are generic terms.

I now generally go with "drink" and avoid the whole issue. Because I'm a uniter, not a divider.

Most places here make you fill your own cup. But you can't ask for a sandwich and a cup. But in the places that pour your drink for you - yes, I would order a diet coke. There is never diet sprite - why is that?

No one likes middle-of-the-football girth.

I have my limits. They are somewhere before you reach football circumference.
