    They should add a rooster tail off of each rear wheel, made out of the styrofoam packing peanuts. That's what they should do.

    @mytdawg: We call it soda in the northeast. I thought they called it pop or "coke" down south, with "coke" being a generic term for any flavor soda.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: Most people call it pop here too. They don't usually ask for a Coke unless they at least want a cola. Most of the people I know personally won't drink a Pepsi, when they ask for a Coke they mean it.

    I'm from the South and did a few co-op terms for Dow Chemical in the early/mid 1990s. I always said the biggest difference between central Michigan and south Georgia was gnats instead of snowflakes.

    @benrobNU: Actually, tonic water and soda water are two different things. Tonic water is carbonated water with quinine and sometimes a sweetener added to it. Soda water is just carbonated water.
