Dan said:Pop. Pronounced with a Buffalo accent, like "paa-hap."
Does anyone else call the grocery store the "market", or is that just an L.A. thing?

Planasaurus, you are so modest (not!). I think you should keep your "cloths" on!
donk said:Since I help to start this one on pop vs soda a related question about beer and the amounts it is sold in.
Is it a 2-4 (especially on Victoria Day)
A flat (24 beer)
A case (24 beer)
A case (12 beer)
Other ?
I dream of a day when it won't be sold in these forms, but piped directly from the municipal brewery directly into our homes.

And I never encountered a "party store" until I moved up north.
7-11's filled that niche in my hometown.

Is your mother's sister your aunt (awnt) or aunt (ant)?
statler said:Since we wandered from pop vs soda debate (it's soda by the way, anybody who says otherwise is wrong.), does anybody outside of New England call chocolate sprinkles on thier ice cream 'jimmies'?

Statler, that really screwed with me when I moved up here! Where I come from "jimmies" are something entirely different, and you don't want them on your ice cream.
As for the whole "awnt v. ant" debate, my wife and I have come to a compromise - by virtue of the fact that she's a New Englander, hers are "awnts," and mine in KY are "ants."

W-Pop Wooo! It's Dynamite. Anyone from New York remember those ads? Or what they were about?
