My kids all call it "coke" - the exchange at the bottom is similar to those I've heard in my house for over 20 years!wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09768521769914883935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-10921789697103602622008-09-17T13:10:00.000-05:002008-09-17T13:10:00.000-05:00Here in Southwestern Ontario it is called pop - bo...Here in Southwestern Ontario it is called pop - both singular and plural.
