This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The sound it makes is exactly where the name comes from. Also there were people in soda territory also calling it pop as well way back in the day. That's why the term "soda pop" exists.

You can see a D.C. newspaper from the mid 1800s calling it pop in this wiki article.
