Soft Drinks Can Bubble Up Hard Feelings
(My friends and I have come down from Canada to do some surfing in Oregon. We have stopped by a deli for some lunch.)
Employee: “Anything else for you today?”
Me: “Yeah, do you have any pop?”
Employee: “It’s soda!”
Me: “Yeah, do you have it?”
Employee: “No, we don’t carry soda. Just water, juice, and tea.”
Me: “What? No pop? Seriously?”
Employee: “SODA!”
Me: “Wow, Americans are pretty serious about their terminology!”
Manager: “I’m sorry sir, she’s a New Yorker.”
Me: “Oh. What is it normally called in Oregon?”
Manager: “Pop.”
Employee: “IT’S SODA!”
