OK, I live in Washington (state not DC thank god). Everyone I know calls it by name. Not soda, not pop, but Coke or Pepsi or 7up ect... We have Dr Pepper and Mr Pib. So why not call it what it is. This is true of both the eastern and western side of the state.

Spokane Washington is 1 degree north of Toronto (or is that 2), I think it's 1. Lived in Memphis for a while and don't remember what it was called there. Must have been a mis-spent youth, memory loss and all that. Anyway you would be surprised how many people there thought Oregon was on the Canadian border so I guess that makes Washington part of the 'Great White North'.
Just to get things really wound up I want to ask a question just for my northern friends in thier igloos, "If americans eat canadian bacon, what do canadians eat?" And yes I do have friends in Canada, my daughter is spending the summer in Toronto.

On the pop/soda issue all I have to say is whoop ***. Now that is a soda. 4 times stronger than jolt.

Canadians when eating the lovely Canadian Bacon like to call it backbacon. As opposed to the other bacon which is just long strips of fat with some pig attached on every other piece.

Since I live near Lake Ontario, my day goes like this. Get up at 3 AM ( Metric time ) and clean the igloo. Get the bob sleigh team ready and hunt some wild pig so I can make back bacon. Drink 10 bottles of Canadian and cook back bacon. Complain about america as I travel to the AMC, MCdonalds, Walmart, Gap (________, Place chain store here).
Release that I have not had my timbit fill for the day and spend the rest of the day at a coffee shop eating timbits and drinking coffee. Then it is back to the igloo.

All in all it is a nice day.

Fogwana - That's cool. My wife is from Washington state too, Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. Except I coverted her to a Canadian and we live in Toronto now...

Also, Toronto is on the same latitude as Southern Oregon/Northern California...
