My family and I were sitting in the lounge chatting last night, just about random topics. After a bit of banter, my mother happened to mention 'Soda'. My father quickly interrupted, 'You mean Pop'.
The discussion became a little more heated, with both insisting that their name was the 'correct' one. My parents come from opposite ends of the country, and obviously the beverage was referred to differently at each end. In the North it was Pop, in the south, Soda.
Anyway, this was all very exciting. A Pop vs. Soda debate in my very own living room! I couldn't stop myself from laughing at the sheer absurdity of it all. Unfortunately, my parents didn't support their respective drinks quite as tenaciously as their EoFF counterparts, and the topic was soon abandoned. Neither side had refused to back down.
Nevertheless, the situation was just too unusual not to post, so there it is. I guess this thread needs a proper topic, so here we go:
Do your parents call it Pop or Soda?
Has an EoFFish situation ever come up in your daily life?
