Title: Non-Alchoholic Drinks
Post by: JoeLo on June 24, 2005, 01:27:27 pm
For Non-A drinks do you perfer koolaid, or soda. In my opinion soda trumps.

What the hell is koolaid?

In fact, what the hell is soda?  Soda water?  Baking soda?

Soda is the American name for the whole range of carbonated drinks (pop, some call it, or soft drinks). You know, Coke, Pepsi, Sprite etc.

Koolaid  ("http://leighhouse.typepad.com/blog/images/kool_aid.jpg")is basically branded punch.

as if soda and kool-aid where the only non-alcoholic drinks.

Thanks for the description, I was kind of wondering myself.

Actually, I like fruit juice more than any carbonated drinks. I'm assuming that Kool-Aid is probably made with concentrated fruit powder with the usual collection of Flavour enhancers/cell mutaters etc?

I don't think koolaid has a chance against soda.  But I voted for it since every time I go to the movies I get that and a box of Whoppers. :p

you guys actually don't know what kool-aid is? do you live in some jungle tribe in Africa or something? have you never seen the kool-aid man (http://familyguy.blockoland.com/content/pictures/KoolAidMan.gif) in your entire life?

I knew Kool-Aid was a drink sold in America, since it isn't sold here, that's all the knowledge I had.

And Kool-Aid man looks like Cool-Spot's Dad ;) (7-up)

Sunny Delight - Because bright orange colouring in a suspension which has the texture of wallpaper paste is good for you :P

Soda is one American name for carbonated drinks. It just depends on what part of the United States you're from. Soda is popular in the south, pop is common in the north, and for some reason people in Nashville call it coke.

I know that it changes by region, and not always by a rule, why I said "popular and common".:D

It's made in Scotland. From Girders.

And, according to the ads, I really really hope that Derek Smart can't get a drink from an Irn Bru machine one day ;)

If you mean New England, they call it tonic, at least in the Boston area. We sure as hell don't call it pop. They say that in the Midwest. We call it soda.

I have seen/heard it called many things. It's a sub; not a sub sandwich, not a submarine sandwich, not a hoagie, not a hero, and no way in hell is it called a torpedo sandwich. It's a sub, plain and simple and that's final.

You got to love America's idiosyncracies. ^_^

cranberry juice, possibly with some orange juice mixed in as well, perhaps a bit of tonic mixed in for good measure.

If you rent the place you own, and it has pipes that are probably 30-40+ years old, a Brita water pitcher is actually a pretty good thing to have.  It actually DOES make the water taste less... funky.  The place I used to live at, it's water tasted terrible, nothing near like the well we have back home.
Title: Non-Alchoholic Drinks
Post by: Solatar on June 25, 2005, 02:16:53 am
The only reason I ever drink bottled water is because the tap water around here doesn't taste like water...

...actually, they don't recommend you drink it in vast quantities or anything either.

The Brits would refer to such drinks as carbonated beverages (or simply use the products name). It's only the Americans who can't deal with anything longer than four letters :p

here in Canada all drinks like coke/pepsi/sprite are known as pop and only pop unless maybe its some sort of restaurant where it might be refered to as 'soft drink' on the menu

and as far as non-alcoholic beverages go, i prefer virgin (non-alcoholic) versions of alcoholic beverages (ie. Pina Colada sans alcohol)

We've got a Ginger Ale pop.  It's called Ale-8-1.

I drink my well water most of the time and it's completely unfiltered, of course it's tested reularly though.  I only drink pop, soda, or whatever you wanna call it when I eat.

Fudge those cookies...I drink tap water.  Maybe with a water filter because I'm a hippy but yeah...tap water man.

Besides, all of that corporate controlled bottled water is either far too pure and lacking in essential minerals or is tap water anyways.  Plus these guys are draining bogs, swamps, and like causing all sorts of environmental damage that most city water systems don't.

I only ever drink fizzy stuff as a mixer. By which I mean with very strong alcohol, for those who don't know...

I only drink water or fruit juice at home. And milk, but that's more food than drink...
