It's a regional thing... We call it pop, others call it soda...
I refuse to call it soda when I grew up here calling it pop...
Just like when my ex and I were dating back in '88, we flew down to South Carolina to look at a 67 barracuda fastback...
We had bought round trip tickets just in case we didn't buy it... Luckily we had return tickets as the car wasn't worth it (had a bent rear frame and they already hung a new quarter panel so lots of body work to do and it was only a slant 6 car... Then there was a bent roof beam where the garage it was in during hurricane Hugo got knocked down and one of the rafters bent the roof on the passenger side - back then not worth that kind of money, the body work alone would be more than the car was worth...)
So we rent a motel room for the night and go out walking around to find some refreshment... There was a strip mall across the street from the motel and as we were walking across the parking lot, my gf asks them "Where is the party store???"
They didn't understand...
Only in Detroit (where she is from) are they called party stores, everywhere else they are called liquor stores... As we were walking away from them, I had to explain to her that they are called liquor stores down here, by asking them where the party store is - you may as well tattoo "******* Yankee" on your forehead.... :confederateflag: :BangHead:
