In Canada, in case some of you out there don’t know this, a carbonated drink is commonly called pop. We don’t call this concoction soda. Americans do. We also eat chocolate bars, not candy bars. Americans, even though chocolate and candy are quite distinct, call them candy bars. More Americanisms invading our speech. Please knock it off. We have more than enough of these already. We don’t need another ridiculous hipster trend. There are plenty. —mgp

spelling, not that it really bugs me but it’s colour honour neighbourhood valour…use the u free yourselves
Policing the way people phrase things? How Canadian of you. If I want to call it a soda I’ll damn well exercise my right to do so as a citizen of this fine, free country. Americans call it pop too in Michigan, they may have actually originated that.
And chocolate IS candy.
Might as well go for a pop… Naw, that doesn’t sound very good.
and pass the catsup while your at it
Shitloads of Americans call it pop too, asswipe.
He probably buys his soda and candy bars at Wallymart(or Target)
2 words that are the same – FUCK and CUNT, as in fuck off you silly cunt.
