Look, I think we can all just agree that all Americans are wrong. It's not soda, pop or coke. It's soft drink. In fact, it generalises further. Wherever Americans say a food-related thing is called something and other English-speaking countries call it something else, the Americans are wrong. Entree? Main course. Cilantro? Coriander. Shrimp? Prawn. Fries? Chips. Chips? Crisps. Candy? Lollies. Broiler? Grill. Grill? Barbecue. Diner? Cafe. 350°? 180°. It works in 100% of cases.

Every soft drink is a coke. You can have a sprite coke, a coke coke, etc. Like Kleenex.

I specifically disagree with you on this one because "lollies" can go bad places if it's said out loud much like your opinion derailed the entire thread for half a page. Also isn't it "sweets" anyway? Or is that just in Scotland?

Also “barbecue” actually means something specific. It’s not just a different word.

Anti-pop sentiment is a direct attack on Canadians and we don't know what we did to deserve this. We're sorry, okay?

Well, it was a fun thread while it lasted. And don't drink carbonated sugar poison unless your a child. Kill yourself with booze like an adult.

Tiggum posted:Grill? Barbecue. Barbeque is not a cooking apparatus. It refers to a specific method of cooking meats using smoke and low heat over a long time. The American equivalent of a cafe is a coffee shop. A diner is a usually 24 hour restaurant that serves traditional American food.

The death of every aged billionaire is a tragedy because that means they died with their heads still on their shoulders, surrounded by luxury and kept in incredible comfort. His loving coffin is probably more comfortable than any of our beds.
