Oooh, look at Eddie's mad research skilz.
Coke is a Southern thing. Every soda is a coke.
I do this. It's my mom's fault, I think. Also the inability to hear "-in" and "-en" distinctions.

Isn't all tea "sweet tea" unless otherwise specified?
Only in the south.
I was so happy when Trader Joe's started selling gallon jugs of unsweetened iced tea. Mmmm.

Are your parents my parents? Mine just drink decaf and they live in the middle of nowhere Tennessee.
I think mine were going through some random health thing. They've since seen the error of their ways. Possibly because I do the make-a-cross-with-your-index-fingers thing and say, "blasphemer!" every time they suggest brewing a pot of decaf.

My parents gave up coffee as part of their incredibly healthy lifestyle of the past few years BUT they always have some in the freezer for visitors AND they have two types of single cup drip thingies.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Unfortunately, mine switched to decaf about 10 years ago and I don't see them switching back.

I can't even.
I know Michigan people who use coke to mean any pop. Can actual ex-michiganders here verify? Coke was referred to as "Northwoods Brown Mead" in certain SCA circles, Northwoods being the Michigan State, ie. East Lansing group, who couldn't/wouldn't give up their Coke for authenticity's sake.
Bow-tique? I thought that was just a southern affectation, but then, I live with real French, so that kinda skews the perspective on faux-french.
American attitudes towards iced tea are interesting in a culture studies kind of way. Vanishingly rare to be able to get unsweetened iced tea up here.

Good news for the "smaller is better" crowd: The fuel-efficient Smart Car is (finally) on its way to our shores. Smart-Automobile LLC announced today that its Smart For Two Coupe / Convertible, available in Europe since 1998, is ready to be imported to the United States.
...
All Smart Cars imported through this arrangement will be registered with ZAP and the Department of Transportation to ensure that they meet government standards. The Smart Car gets 60 mpg and can reach speeds of 85 miles per hour, according to the ZAP Web site, and will range in price from $15,000 to $25,000 fully loaded.
There's a picture. The thing is just so damn cute!
