Dimes

I like dimes, but buying a soda from a machine with them sure is embarrassing.

It's like pop, but a hundred times less lame.

A hundred times? That's some fancy math for an American-educated poet. Did you check the proof?

You're both half right. It's soda pop. Soft drinks as opposed to hard liquor. I prefer mine called carbonated beverages; however, the employees at Whataburger are puzzled by the expression, but they have no trouble when I use the name "MacGyver" on my special orders. Young punks with no sense of pop culture history. Sometimes, I hearken for the days when my small town had a working soda fountain like in "It's a Wonderful Life" that served soft drinks and ice cream floats/shakes/sundaes at the local drug store--chemist's for those U.K. Readers.

When I used to travel a lot, asking for a coke in upstate New York and a Pepsi in Atlanta was a nice jab at the locals using each others arch enemies in the cola wars. Ah, good times. Those lucky enough to live in Texas can at least drink that wonderful teeth rotter knows as Big Red in its wonderful 3 liter plastic packaging. At least I can find Dr. Pepper here in South Korea.

I asked for a diet cola when I ordered a pizza yesterday and the guy was like, "Uh, it's Pepsi."

I didn't have to check the proof; I used Wikipedia.

"What'd you drink with your lunch today?"
"A coke."
"What kind?"
"Sprite."

Though I did have a football coach who called it soda water. WTF?

I liked the judicious use of capital letters. Can I lick your balls?
