And I used to say "pop" 'cause that's what my family says, but I'm just as likely or more to say "soda" lately...among other reasons, 'cause "pop" strongly connotes the flavours of orange and grape (or purple), both of 'em artifically flavoured and as sugary-bright as possible, and in a sixpack instead of bottles. Which makes a nice cold bottle of natural-brewed ginger beer sound really really appealing in comparison.
Or not. Have I mentioned it's gotten butt-ass cold out here?
