RE: How do you refer to soft drinks?
"Soda" is the way to go.??No1

If someone asked me if I want a "Coke" I might tell them no.??I only like Coke if it's out of a fountain and that's only sometimes.??I wouldn't know they mean just soda in general.??=p

When people ask if I want a "pop" I giggle a little bit.??My mom called it pop, but she was from Indiana and had a slight accent.??She pronounced car "ker".??xD
So, when people say "pop" it reminds me of her saying it.??=p

"Shoda" reminds me of the Mythbusters episode where they did the soda/mentos myth thingy.??Adam gets a funny look on his face and says, "ITCH SHODA!" xD

Krim - I thought that's what you meant, but nearly the entire map is 23+% obese whereas only like 33% of America refers to soda as "Coke".
So, I thought you were just posting a map because I did.

I still really don't see the correlation, though.??:o


Whisper!??How do you post in that color every post?!??Icon_cry

I tried to copy you, but then deleted the post because it was something I already posted.??I went to post something else and do the same thing but realized I forgot the color code.??How do you remember that???It's numbers and letters and code and... @_@


P.S.-I've been trying to make people copy you but they don't want to. Icon_cry
I thought it would be funny if you logged on one day everyone was LoL'ing; but no one cares. :/

The correlation is about the area overlap

RE: How do you refer to soft drinks?
LoL - I have to agree with Tsetsume on this one.

You may have felt your map was somewhat related but since nearly the entirety of the united states have almost a quarter of their populations overweight yet only about a third of them refer to soda as "Coke" then that only shows that a quarter of the population is overweight and a third of the population refers to soda as "Coke".??=p

Plus, only 7.5 of the nine "heavily obese" states refer to soda as "Coke"; plus, New Mexico and Florida have some of the lower obese populations with high concentrations of "Coke-sayers."

Sorry to get all technical with you, but it is, indeed, completely unrelated.??You wouldn't say Asia is Chinese or Russian just because of the overlap, would you???=p


In any case, Tset - I have the code saved in the notepad on my CP.??If I forget it I can always double check there.??Although it's pretty easy.??7eb704.??Only six characters and [color=#7eb704] isn't at all hard to type either.??Then again I type at over 100wpm.??Laugh


[EDIT]

That wouldn't be funny at all, Tset.??My 7eb704 and LoL are two of the things that make me me.??Icon_cry

1)??A correlation doesn't have to have a coefficient of 100% to be a correlation.??

2)??I never said that there was a causality.??I just said that there was a correlation worth mentioning.??

3) To use whisper's color in an easy way, you just have to click the "quote" button to see the tags that he used.

RE: How do you refer to soft drinks?
I did that Krim, but it was before he posted in this thread and I didn't want to have to run to another thread just for his font color.??XD

Lookit me!??I'm Whisper!??LoL??\o/

ITCH SHODA~??Laugh




Okay... I looked it up.??From the almighty Wikipedia!

Wikipedia Wrote:Soda water gets its name from the sodium salts it contains, added as flavoring and acidity regulators often to mimic the taste of natural mineral water.

And, of course, soft drinks are just flavored soda water.??Ok



I also found this!

RE: How do you refer to soft drinks?
I usually just say soda. If I say Coke I mean Coca-Cola.
