Which places call it a hoagie? I call it a sub.

Philadelphia on up to NY State. East to South Jersey, West to Ohio.

New England calls it a Grinder.

The South calls it a Sub.

Sub is the more common name nationwide.

Because it resembles a submarine and it goes down good.

It's soda or coke only fools call it pop

Loved Vernors - I still see around every now and then. You get the best burps ever from Vernors, real wall rattlers.

BTW, cream soda is pop. Vernors is pop. Its all pop.

WOOHOO I got your back on this one Swish. It's freaking POP you soda people are nuts

If anyone ever starts a thread called "Underrated Pops", I will nominate RC Cola.



Of course, it all went to hell when they stopped using glass bottles.

Isn't it actually Soda Pop? I grew up calling it Pop.

Royal Crown Cola, easy on the syrup, easy on the gas, hard on the paycheck.

I don't remember RC costing any more than Coke or Pepsi ... you must be thinking of Crown Royal.

I grew up in Ohio and called it pop, but have spent some time down south and now call it soda,

Sorry to hear. Prayers all around. Buy him some pop.

Happy Thanksgiving, Vers.

We called it fake Coke. We hated it when mom bought that stuff when it was on sale.

It was their old slogan, I took some liberties with the last line

You must have gotten a flat batch. Because imo, the only time Coke was ever better than RC was in the pony bottles. Its a lot like burgers; no one has ever compared a Big Mac to a Manners' Big Boy, or a Five Guys' Double, but sometimes you just want a Big Mac. That's how it was for me and Coke - usually I liked RC, Pepsi, and Coke in that order. Except when they had the pony bottles - then it was Coke.

Anyway, sorry for the temporary hijack - back to the Pop vs Soda vs Coke War.

Grew up in NW Ohio calling it pop. Now I call it soda. Though I barely drink the stuff anymore. If/when I do it's Coke bottled in Mexico where they use cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Occasionally I'll have a Vernors or another brand of ginger ale.
It's all just kinda bad for you. Especially the high fructose corn syrup stuff. Hollow calories without a lot of reward. I'd rather get my sugar fix from chocolate or other such actual desserts.

I lived in California for 11 years, everyone called it soda there. Here in Ohio? Back to pop!

I probably haven't had a sip of anything besides water for about 15 years. I decided that "pop", juice, Gatorade, etc just wasn't worth it

It appears no name won the electoral college.

Y'all better call it pop at the dinner table today, DT'ers.

Happy Thanksgiving!! I'm thankful for pop!!!

I drink Mountain Dew, but down here we still call it soda. As they say.... When in Rome.

I'm with swish-it's POP!

I used to call it pop before the military, after being around so many others that called it soda, I catch myself calling it by both names. It one of those things that just doesn't rank high enough to matter.

Pop...

I remember a soda was mixed at the counter with flavoring of choice then soda water.
They were also terrible.

It's pop.

My wife is from Boston. She always called it tonic.....Weird.

You made me remember the drink my grandmother gave me when I spent my first summer with her in Oklahoma. The alka-seltzer of flavored drinks. Fizzies.

Back in the day I think they called them "phosphates" at the soda fountains. Cherry phosphates were awesome.

A blast from the past!!!

back in the late 50's early 60's my aunt worked at the counter at woolworths . we got to go in and eat and it didnt cost us anything. also my grandpa was captain of the sand boat out of sandusky. i was on all the great lakes except ontario before i was in first grade

jfanent i see you live in oregone ohio. do you know where the waste water treatment plant is on york. i built that along with the generator plank there, but still never had a tony pockos hot dog. drove but it alot.

You were right there, bro. You really missed out on some royal goodness.

A trip to Tony Packo's 1.0 is a must. It's worth the trip just to view all the sandwich buns autographed by famous people. The food is top-notch, too.

I do have to add this, however: a trip to/through East Toledo is one from which you may never return!

I've never been anywhere in this world with a more chaotic and senseless street grid in my life...and I actually spent 4 days driving in and around Boston! I actually have nightmares of never getting out of the shadow of the refinery there. Oregon is fine. GETTING TO Oregon is... [shudder].

Last year's holiday concert trip to your neck of the woods was EPIC: closed Interstate exits/on ramps. Through-town detours. In-town traffic gridlock, due to closed routes. Bad weather. Stupid drivers. Honking horns. Road/street rage. I left my house 1.5 hours before The Downbeat, and barely got there with 10 minutes to spare! (Dawg- it's supposed to be a 30-35 min commute...)

I hate My Town the instant I cross the Maumee River.
Can't help it- y'all's traffic infrastructure is totally messed up!


BTW: We'll be back at Clay HS on 12/2. 7:30 PM. I'm even narrating a very cleverly-written piece that is based on "The Night Before Christmas" [hint].

Maybe this time, you'll get to introduce me to your lovely wife

Yeah, that traffic was a mess last year. We'll be there, but isn't it on the 7th? Wouldn't want you to get lost on the wrong date, lol.

Don't some places also call them "Poor Boys"?

I don't drink it but, I used to call it "pop" but then moved around and got into the habit of calling it "soda".

My dad always called it "Coke" no matter what it was. Even if he wanted (and preferred) Pepsi it was still "a coke" to him. He was born in Delaware...maybe that is a mid-Atlantic thing?

You're RIGHT! Thanks, Dawg- I got some dates reversed. Clay/Clyde... they're similar, but definitely not the same

Turns out, I'm off-duty for the Clay gig... but you'll enjoy the concert just as much without my ugly mug messin' up the visuals...


enjoy!

It's a soda bottle and it's just a bottle rocket, in case you need to use a beer bottle.

Soft drinks (to use a more neutral term) were originally made fizzy with sodium bicarbonate.. baking SODA.. that's how they got the accurate name of soda. At NO POINT have any soft drinks ever been made with an ingredient called "Pop".. So y'all fringe radicals that call it "pop" are just making stuff up and should have your first amendment right to free speech revoked for being wrong.

*Throws a "POP" bottle at DC *
