So today we get a "Hey" from a new single male with a one line profile text and one photo. We wrote back did you really read what we have written in our profile.. answers back... No sorry never read it!
WTF you just cant make it up!
Both points are valid and cut like diamonds.
Thank you for the correction and I actually have 2 points if it is chilly.
"@CCI am beginning to suspect that you have oppositional defiant disorder." - Please address us as "CCII". It's "oppositional defiance disorder". And you have a point.
@Va you give good fact
Just a fun fact:
Coca Cola still uses coca leaves for a flavoring agent, but the cocaine has been removed.
Stepan is the only legal US importer of coca leaves, processing about 100 metric tons a year. It sells the extract to Coca Cola and the "waste" cocaine to pharmaceutical companies.
I have an antique apothecary
bottle for opium. During my misspent youth it was referred to as “product” not coke.
"Coke cannot be universally used for soda."
Except in some places it is.
When I used to be posted at a chemical plant in Mobile, AL, the conversation below was common and perfectly reasonable.
"What kind of cokes do you have?"
"We have Pepsi, 7Up..."
Wtf??
Ladies and gents, I give you the real reason Oedipus picked up that broach…

"I'm not addicted to cocaine. I just like the way it smells!" ~ Richard Pryor
Someone shoot me. NOW.
"Coke" in many areas is short for cocaine."
I guess a double meaning in my region.
@CCI am beginning to suspect that you have oppositional defiant disorder.
'Sniff'. What?
Please stop.
"Coke" in many areas is short for cocaine. Coca-cola got its name because its original formula had cocaine in it. So, no... Coke cannot be universally used for soda.
Would you refer to an old time soda dispenser as a Coke Jerk, instead of a Soda Jerk?
My pop says it's all called pop. But we call it soda. And it goes good with Titos and Tennessee whiskey. (not at the same time)
No, no, no ,no ,no ,no . . . . . . it's all coke y'all. You just have to specify what kind of coke, e.g., coca cola, pepsi, sprite, root beer, etc.
I call it something someone else made.
No... The rest of the country needs to say 'soda' and 'casserole!'
:-P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep, pop. I think most areas in the US call it pop.
Now if the rest of the damn country would call a hot dish a hot dish instead of a casserole, I think everybody would get along a whole lot better.
I'll add that pop (soda or whatever you call it in your area) math is as confusing as toilet paper math.
So in MN it’s called pop? It’s called that in western PA. In NY, NJ &CT it’s soda.
I have a detached garage and so when Covid was about to hit I purchased towers of tp.
The problem was the storage location. The garage. Apparently field micr led an insurrection and demolished 48 rolls of tp. When the lid of the grill was opened there was a Charminy soft nest. No clue where the rest of the TP went.
There's no sales tax on food here, including manufacturers' packaged lunch/sandwich meats. But buy the similar meat item from the deli counter and it's taxed.
Not all of the stores we go to put the $/wt. or count on the shelves, and I don't recall seeing it on paper products.
Yeah, I get the "shrinkflation" thing. Same price, same size package but lower quantity in the package.
at least you don't have a soda tax like we do. Tax Rate: 1.5 cents per ounce on sweetened beverages, including diet sodas and energy drinks. they even charge extra tax on atkins shakes, which is confusing for me, since they are supposed to help you lose weight
