I've lived up north and here in the south, and up north we always called them sodas. And down here in Woodbury they are either cold drink or Cokes.

Sundrop (Golden Cola) does NOT taste like Mountain. Dew, Mellow Yellow, Sprite, or any of the diet drinks. It has it's own distinct taste. Even though Sundrop's headquarters is in Plano, TX., I've never seen it for sale there. Usually only in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and a few other places. Like Bobby, though, I actually prefer a tall, cold glass of Sweet Tea. A friend recently served us Sweet Tea, that had crushed peppermint leaves added. That was pretty tasty, also. Jess

I can't resist adding my 2 cents about sodas etc. Have y'all seen the Soda vs. Pop map of the country? We southerners call them all "coke", but "soda" dominates the Northeast. In the Upper Midwest it is "pop". http://popvssoda.com:2998/ I hadn't realized Orange Crush is hard to find. It seems like it was there in the stores just yesterday, but I have quit drinking soda so don't pay attention. (OK, I *will* drink a Coke occasionally on a day when it is 90 degrees and 90% humidity and -- it's medicinal, you know!) On Coke in particular, people claim that the change was when they switched from cane sugar to high-fructose corn syrup in the 1980s (although my brother thinks there was a change in the 1960s.) You can still get cane sugar cokes from Mexican stores (look for imports from Mexico) or from mainstream stores during Passover (look for Kosher for Passover Coke). Uh, nothing genealogical to say except my great-grandma, (born in SW Missouri in 1886) called it "pop", so I wonder if "pop" was more widespread than it is now. What did the old folks call it in Cannon County? - Heather http://hblair.uchicago.edu/ On Sat, 12 May 2007, Bobby Lykins wrote: > I've lived up north and here in the south, and up north we always called > them sodas.

Someone forgot NEHI Grape and Nehi Orange. She is right about the sugar. There is a Mexican Store here in Indianapolis that sells Cokes from Mexico. They sell for $ 1.50 each for 12 ounce. They are made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup. Was in the Indianapolis Star. Kevin
