The most recent fortune I receivd is "You will have good luck and overcome many hardships". This is true to a point, once a hardship is over there is a calm and then here comes another hardship. I guess the old adage there's always something" is true.

Soda. The stuff I don't drink.

Coke is only for Coca Cola and Cocaine.

I live in california. Have lived here nearly all my life, and have always refered to it as coke no matter what I am drinking. I live in Riverside, CA but have also lived in San Diego, CA growing up and we called it the same in both places. Not sure who calls it soda sounds strange. But my cousins come down from Virginia and they call it Pop. Thought they were talking about those little pop rock candies the first time they asked for a pop. lol.

I'm from Kentucky so everything is Coke. My husband is from Chicago so he says pop. It can get confusing.

I always call it soda. I have a friend that had recently moved to the area, (she always called it soda too), when she started dating a guy from the area... country guy. He stopped at the "jiffy store" one day and asked her "hey, ya wanna cold drank"? She said sure, but the next day she asked me about this. She thought that maybe some of us bumpkins actually drank our soda hot. She couldn't understand why he had to preface "drank" with the word cold. I will remember this forever.

Favorite grilling sauce is Veri Veri Teriyaki by Soy Vay. Good on beef, chicken...Even though it's the same sauce, it makes the proteins taste different.
