My Mom called it "pop"...I'd say "I got your POP right here!"

In Missouri it's "sodie"...

Right across the river in Wisconny, we used to go to Joe's Valley...an all you can eat chicken shack...they had the bestest & coldest milk there...you could buy it for a quarter a glass...man, miss that!

Been there! I know it!

The absence of sweet tea. How do you guys live in states without sweet tea?

Lack of good smoked bacon on the east coast. The sh!t they have resembles bacon flavored cardboard. Californias piece of sh!t prepay gas station inconvenience stores and their f*cking retarded vapor recovery nozzles that don't work on motorcycles. And calif*ckias and new works fireproof piece of sh!t cigarettes that don't smoke worth a crap. The east coasts lack of anheuser busch natural pilsner and the the west coasts lack of leinenkugels beer. The east coasts lack of twin bing candy and the west coasts abundance of candy asses. The overabundance of illegals and dry counties in the south. And the underabundance of dentists and meth and crack treatment centers.

I believe there are only "good" bagels in New York!

We drink it without sugar, or with sweet n' low.

And we have less diabetes here.

Sugar is bad.

But those who like sweet tea can alway put in 1/3 cup of sugar. That's about how much they use in a tall glass.

I bet the sugar industry loves them.

People who visit me here in Ohio find it funny that you can drive through for almost anything. Beer/Cigs of course.......but then dog food, salt for your soft water tank, food, ready made pizza, coffee, all kinds of stuff. Me thinks we are lazy.......

I'm from the Southeast, moved to the Midwest.
