South Florida has a huge population of emigrants from New York and New Jersey, so it makes sense. Most of Florida's coastal population come from "up north" with only the interior of the state actually populated by "southerners." But what St. Louis and eastern Wisconsin have in common with California and New England is a huge mystery.
I will never come to terms with the fact that some people call lemonade and fizzy orange 'coke'.
I will never come to terms with people calling Orange pop "fizzy orange".
Haha!
Ok, while we're at it, what the hell is this "squash" nonsense? As far as I know, squash is a funny gourd or an even funnier sport.
Pop...... only whimps call it soda
In my around the world shop that is closing because of economy they sold Mexican Cola and Mexican apple pop. Very yummy.

Squash is ... eerrr. You add water to it. And then it's drinkable. More like a syrup beforehand.

Curiouser and curiouser.
Pretty much Curt, yes. That's what I thought of when trying to describe it, in fact.
I think it's referred to as a cordial? I'm not sure exactly. I ain't down wit ma drinks.
But yes. It's essentially a syrup as you have to add water.
I could be totally wrong (probably am), but have a feeling that it may be more or less fruit juice with the water removed, so they can pump more into a bottle.
In fact... *goes to check*
The orange squash in my kitchen says 50% "orange juice from concentrate". Don't know how much water is in it exactly, but it's less than 15%.
Finally, the gloves come off and some objective reporting appears. This is good for the press and good for the nation.
(CNN) -- Unfortunately, we are again asking the president to explain why exactly he announced, with great fanfare, new ethics rules if he had no intention of abiding by them.
The Obama administration is yet again asking for a waiver to its very own rules about hiring lobbyists.
This time, it is the new treasury secretary, Tim Geithner. He wants a former lobbyist for Goldman Sachs to be his top aide at the Treasury Department.
My view is simple: Mr. President, if you want to hire former lobbyists because you think they are the best people to do the job, then hire former lobbyists. Just don't hold a big news conference first to tell us how your administration is going to be so different from previous administrations in that you won't be hiring lobbyists.
Don't make your disdain for lobbyists and your pledges that they won't wield influence in your administration a centerpiece of your campaign.
It's the hypocrisy and the double-talk that makes so many of us so cynical.
Do what you think is best for the country. Just be straight with us about how you're going to do it.

I once had some "machine" Coke before a gig where something had gone wrong and there was no CO2 added: result, no fizz. It wasn't just flat Coke either, much worse. Difficult to describe, but the most revolting thing I've ever tasted in my life.

Drug stores sell the coke syrup. They claim it settles a cranky stomach.
I love coke syrup and flat coke.
