Hmph.
Everyone knows cool people say "soda".
"Soft drink" is reasonably acceptable.
To me "coke" literally means coca cola, and if you meant something else well that's what you asked for so shut the hell up.
::snicker:: ... I'm sorry, but if someone actually came up to me and asked if I wanted "pop", I'd probably laugh in their face.

::hands go to hips:: if when you say about stuff not smelling bad is what I think you're saying, then the label is "baking soda," dearie.
But at least you didn't say "pop".
Let's agree on "soft drink" and call it a day, huh?
Besides, it probably wasn't your fault you spent your first 25 years in Texas. Do you like Atlanta? I had an online boyfriend once who lives in Georgia. I'm waving to you now from pleasant Northern California (San Jose), and I'm quite happy here, where the spiders are small, the deserts are pretty, and in summer its *dry* heat.
