Dave Sinkula,

Ok, if I were going to tell guests what we have to drink, it would go something like this:

"We have a variety of beverages, would you like to have juice, water, milk, mountain dew, dr. pepper, or diet sprite"

Now, most people will ask me, "does'nt it take longer to say them all out rather than to just generalize and use the term soda?" Well, my answer to that one is that if I would have just said "soda", they would have asked what kind. So I just cut to the chase since I would eventually have to tell them everything I have anyway!!

that's ridiculous.

say you're going to the store. you ask your friend "what kind of ______ do you want"

you dont name off every possible brand and flavor of soft drink.

so quit being obstinate, and answer the damn question.

There is no obstinance here! I answered Dave's question!

As for an answer to your question......

"What kind of drink do you want me to get you?"

Or "Can I buy you a drink?"

Damn question answered Mr. Jephthah

aha. now we're getting somewhere.

i'll bet you live near the atlantic seaboard around VA or NC or thereabouts.

How about North East Kansas!! LOL

eh, that was my second guess...




but that makes me wonder... do you have a hangup with the word "pop" then?

I am indifferent to it. I never use the word "pop", but when my friends use it, I sometimes make fun of them....not a big deal though, we mainly just use the word drink though.

I use soda and pop interchangeably. Never coke unless referring to the product by that nickname.
