Except that this boy from the Midwest grew up not calling it "pop," but "so-dee" like everyone else for miles around. When, that is, you didn't call it "Coke" or "Pepsi" or "Duble Cola" or "Royal Crown" or "RC" or "Seven Up" or "rut beer" or "Doctir Pepper" or "Nehi" or "Yoohoo" or "Oranj Crush" or whatever.
