soda vs pop vs coke

Sodie pop....



Nah, just soda.

It seems in Europe if you order lemonade, they will bring you a sprite or 7up... most likely sprite.  Europeans just don't have nearly the choice Americans have when it comes to pop.

I don't know about Europe, but here in Oz, there are apparently some tyrannical rules on caffeine content in soda, such that it's essentially banned in all sodas except colas.  You can find Mountain Dew here, but it's actually caffeine free, so it's not nearly as popular as in the US.  This of course leads to there being less selection among sodas than there would otherwise be.

(Of course, this is somewhat circumvented by the fact that some of the caffeinated drinks are simply marketed as "energy drinks" rather than "soft drinks".)

Those same rules apply in Canada, or at least they used to. It seems weird thinking Mountain Dew has caffeine in it, but then again who the hell drinks Mountain Dew?

Rednecks.
