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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As somebody from Tulsa I can confirm that Oklahoma is a weird mishmash of ‘anything goes’. People will literally say “soda pop”.
Soda pop is the correct term. Soda and pop are just shortened versions.
I don't think "correct" really applies here. "Original" maybe.
Let's just go with "soda pop" being the formal name. What I'm saying is the shortened forms are secondary.
The formal name would be carbonated beverage
That is a superset. Beer is a carbonated beverage but definitely not pop. Pellegrino also.
Hmm, true
