Well, growing up in Canada, I became used to "pop".  However, since
moving to New York, I can't quite bring myself to say "soda".  That,
mixed with the snickers I get when saying pop, I now refer to everything
generically as Coke.  I'm sure this makes the Coca Cola Company very
happy.

Never heard of it.  Now I must find this amusing drink.

I like the Sobe "lizard fuel" drink, which is apparently a combination
of strawberry and banana.  The last time I had it was in Toronto.  I
haven't found it locally here.

That, and something called Citra.  Very nifty. :)
