Coke was requested seven times and Pepsi four. One person requested both. My favorite, the guy who requested a lump of dirt. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I read in a prison survival book that the "last meal" thing never was what the public thought. Said usually the inmate was given a list and asked what they wanted. Sometimes the guards might have picked something up. But in most cases most of the meal was untouched. I would like to think I could finish the meal if it was good. I would then request to shower so the coroner would have less work for himself. The President is a fink. |

Ever the thoughtful murderer, you would make the ideal inmate. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I've always said "pop". popvssoda.com has a cool map. "...remind me of clue: Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with the candlestick."- Derek Morgan |

| TheCesspit Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 23 Posts: 1929 | It was always pop growing up in the UK for me, never soda, occasionally 'fizz'y drink' down south. Coke was a type of drink (pepsi or coca-cola or some gawd awful own brand) or a type of coal. Lemonade (a clear drink in the UK, not anything like as acidic as the 'real' lemon stuff) was probably as popular as Coke growing up. Some folks call all pop's 'ginger'. 'Fanta' (trade name for a orange fizzy drink) and 'Bru' (Irn Bru, a drink that outsells Coca-cola in Scotland) are also often used as a catch all term for drinks. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | We called it soda pop in the 50's, tho we seldom got to have any. We got Kool-Aid because it was cheap. We had 8 flavors to choose from, now there are 91. 40% of sales are now to Hispanics and Blacks.  If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
