I've got several - I got rid of the plastic-frame ones, but I've got a few different stainless steel ones, and a travel mug one that is actually the most useful of them all. I used to use that at work when my company had really crappy coffee.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Stainless steel is really hard to break. IJS.

Boo-teek.
My mom used to use her percolator, and still occasionally pulls it out, but for daily use it's the fancy programmable Braun's drip. I rely on Diet Coke for my daily caffeine fix, but when I do need coffee in the morning, I'll stop by the White Hen convenience store for the freshest brew (and I can blend the fancier dark roast with some of the flavored stuff for a tasty cup that's still under $1).
Those collapsable measuring cups are cool! They're using silicone for lots of kitchen products now, including candy molds and ice cube trays.
I no longer say 'pop' (I say 'soda' now.) I used to as a child but stopped...
I switched from "pop" to "soda" after going to college in Milwaukee. I never did pick up "bubbler" for "water/drinking fountain," though. But my first encounter with an ATM machine was with the TYME ones at Marquette, so I had to break the habit of asking people in Illinois "Where's the TYME machine?" instead of "Where's the Cash Station?"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
In Madison, there's a network of ATMs called Tyme. So people just used the word 'Tyme' (pronounced 'time') instead of ATM.
I do remember being abroad with some people from Penn who called it a "MAC machine" for the same reason, though since Jesse didn't mention that too perhaps it's a spottily used term.

My friend in Philly does this. I had NO idea what she was talking about at first. She picked it up when she moved there, because she sure as hell didn't call it that before.

I've seen ATMs labelled MAC, but I hadn't thought to call them that. And I don't know where I've seen that. I have occasionally called them cash machines. I don't think that was an acronym for anything.

Hmph. Why do quizzes just ignore the whole western half of the country?
We do so have accents!

I like those measuring cups, but my measuring cups nest in one another, so I'm not sure there's a total loss of space taken up...
I have 2 french presses, after breaking 3 of them. And I don't even drink coffee, but as a host I feel obligated to have some way to make coffee for guests.
My dad, bless his soul, insisted on buying a Mr. Coffee the last time he visited, entirely missing the point that my house is 700 square feet and short on closets. I was so pissed off.
