[Publib] Pop or Soda...

[Daryl Bird]

In the part of Southern California where I grew up I always drank soda.  
These days I prefer pop.  When I lived in Alabama everyone drank Coke.  
This was very confusing to me.  Here's an exact conversation I had with 
a waiter while placing my order:

Waiter: "Would you like a Coke with that?"
Me: "Sure."
Waiter: "What kind?"
Me: "Uh...Classic?  Non-diet?"
Waiter: "Is Pepsi okay?"

At this point I flipped the table and tossed the waiter out the window.
