Free chips and pop with sub @ Quiznos

nah, not a referral. i got an e-mail notification just like that. it uses the querystring value of the e-mail address to verify that it exists in it's database.

just click the link, and print the coupon.
 
sweet!

now I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow. :D

thanks.
 
Cool. I just used the 2$ off coupon I found in my newspaper, so now I can use this one later in teh week.

I figured there would be an uprising.
And no, it's not a referral.
Seems like each time they give us less coupons though.

This map shows Generic Names for Soft Drinks by County across the US. "Pop" looks like the majority in the midwest, the plains states, around the Rockies, and in the pacific northwest.

New Englanders uniformly say "soda".

Why do you think it's a waste of time to study the way that the English language varies regionally?
 
i concur with way too much time,but this time it proved to settle a dispute. who can tell me how many more damn posts i need to be a gawd already
 
pop in the midwest definantly. If I asked for a soda around here people would look at me funny
 
lol, havent seen this arguement before :D , dictionary.com says

Soda

Pop

and Coke

But hey, when you say any of those, everyone knows what your talking about so cant we all just get along :) The only problem I have with calling a "soft drink" coke, is that there is a brand called Coke and that causes lots of confussion. It would be like calling all cars and trucks chevys. But thats just me so whatever, and here comes the chevy vs. ford flames :p

I fixed the problem mikeblas :)
 
would you like a Grinder, or a HOAGIE or a sub with that soda, pop, or coke LOL :D :D

Ironically, your failing to capitalize "Coke" plays into the problem.

Generification happens for lots of brand names: Kleenex and Xerox, for instance. And it's happened for years; Victrola is a specific brand of record player, but back in early part of the 1900's, any record player was a Victrola.
 
I like the fortress of Soda that STL is. Thanks for the coupon. Used it for lunch today.
 
here in San Antonio, most people say "coke" to refer to any carbonated soft drink... if there's a choice, then you say "sprite, pepsi, dr. pepper, etc"

I'm in NY for school but I'm from New England. Never once do I hear someone say 'pop'. Why call it something that it's not? ;) We say it like it is....and it's 'soda'.

PS. I'm not bashing anyone who says pop. I'm just fascinated by how different regions of the U.S. have different names for the same thing. Now, who wants to talk about subs, hoagies, etc?
