Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'll pass along the rec and have him share it with his friends and co-workers.
Woot! I'm very excited for him, and I'm looking forward to going there the next time I'm in town. For one thing, the photos look gorgeous--they got a lot of furniture & stuff from an abandoned factory, so it's kind of rural-industrial-antiquey inside.
My grandmother called them soft drinks.
Thanks for that rec, Consuela (and huge luck to your brother and the other owner(s)!). My dad takes my nephew out to eat every month (C is a senior at Roosevelt Univ., and lives in school housing downtown), and is always looking for new suggestions (even though C is such a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to food and refuses to try anything that isn't a steak or burger), so I sent him that article and suggested he try it next time.
Dope (similarly old-school, Southern)
Or Coke (to refer to any soda/pop generically).
Awesome, Kathy! I do hope they enjoy it.
Soft drinks, as opposed to hard drinks/hard liquor, right?
I always thought the term cold drink came from them being bought chilled, from a machine, rather than with ice. My grandpa would always say cold drink to mean a bottled soda.
In re hair color - my hair's a fairly bright auburn at this point (due for a color and cut on Saturday). I've had a couple of people ask me if the colorist bleached it before applying color ... and it later occurred to me that no, he doesn't ... because my hair's mostly white at this point.
I DID get the dramatic white streak in my dark hair; someone once said that if she didn't know me better, she'd think I'd done it artificially. Then it went mostly white and I've become addicted to the red.

OH! Right. Of course.
Stay gold, Jesse.
I thought it could be iced tea, though
Maybe it did, I was picking up the usage from the outside, really. It definitely meant non-alcoholic, you are right about that. I feel like "Can I get you some tea? Maybe a cold drink?" was a common offering, but that was a long time ago.
