23. Here's one I haven't seen....Tonic !!
Grew up in the Boston area. All soft drinks are called tonic. At least by native Bostonians. After relocating to Phladelphia area, had to learn to ask for soda, and hoagies instead of subs.

34. Isn't it technically a "wet drink" not a "soft drink"?
Or is that another thread entirely? :evilgrin:

Soda is fine in the rest of the country. :)

38. In some parts of NC it's called "dope"
by the old-timers because of the trace amounts of cocaine that the original formula had.
