    I was 17 when that strip that started in the year that everythinghad gone crazy! Was too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer, The NYC blackout, and the premiere of Star Wars! To us, it was one the best years of the ’70’s!

    Wow! It’s been 35 years. I wonder if they still call it “soda water” in Texas? It’s called “pop” in Chicago. And I’m called “grand pop”. lol

    I always preferred the word soda, I think it’s a word with more aesthetic appeal, and words like that are important to me as a writer.

    Seltzer water is “plain soda.” (Or, if you’re over sixty, “two cents plain.”)As a lifelong New Yorker, I’ve always used (and heard) “soda,” although I’d know what someone’s talking about if they called it “pop.” But up here, “coke” means cola, and only cola.
