OT: Anything Goes 40

Don’t backtrack, it’s exactly what you said. “Soda’s too vague, can mean different things, what if you order a vodka/soda?”. If calling it pop removes that confusion from your life, that’s great. No one else in the world has this issue, but as they say, it takes all kinds.

Read your posts and my posts again. You're taking things out of context as usual. Imagine posting a smug comment about "pop" sounding silly then playing dumb when you get called out. Couldnt be me.

At least we finally found something you and Pez agree on even if it is one of the worst takes around.

I don’t know why you’re continuing to argue after I already conceded and gave you the W. It never would have occurred to me that the word soda could lead to so much confusion in someone’s everyday life. Now I know that it can, and I don’t want you to walk around in a hazy fog. Again, congrats on the W.

And people wonder why there's a no politics rule.

County Fair is a secret gem. Love that grocery store

Berkot's is also a secret gem.

Not directed at you, but it's Jewel. Just like it's Walmart, and not The Walmarts. And nothing wrong with soda. we grew up calling it soda, and we were born and raised here in Chicago. Nothing wrong with soda or pop. But when all soda becomes "Coke"... I just wanna smack the person.

Working at the mercantile exchange for 19 years now “coke” means something else.

Having some friends that worked at the merc at times, it no doubt does. Hahah.

I've only been to the Berkot's in Midlothian and I'm not exaggerating like a quarter of that store is dedicated to alcohol.

I've never called it anything else.

Also, I'm in my mid 30s and damn straight it's the Jewel's

And JC Penney is Penney's

For those of you old enough to remember, Montgomery Ward was always Ward's

And I don't know why people type it as "Jewels" instead of Jewel's because the who reason why the s was added is because it was possessive, like Jewel's place. It's the place that belongs to Jewel. that is the whole point.

I've never in my life heard somebody shorten JC Penney. If somebody said I'm going to Penny's I'd assume that's a local restaurant.

I don't know why people type Jewels because I don't know why people say Jewels.

I used to work at Jewel.

This used to be their logo.

My mom always called it that.

The one in Mokena is great. As is the one down in Braidwood by my club. They have some fantastic sales on meats pretty often.

The only berkots ive ever seen in person is the one in midlo, havent been inside though

Not really. I grew up on the south side and it was probably 50/50 soda/pop. In my family circles it was almost never called pop.

I also found the whole argument about "soda" being ordered at the bar absurd. Context matters. If you're ordering "soda" at the bar, it's implied that you mean club soda. Because if you didn't want club soda, you would order coke, or sprite, or ginger ale, etc. If you order a "soda" at a concession stand, they aren't going to say "sorry, we don't have club soda". They are going to ask you what kind...

The horrific tragedy in Seoul today is why I hate big crowds



The videos with people being crushed, including people who were live on phones as they were being crushed and aftermath are horrific

I do think pop is silly, but I was f***ing around, I couldn’t care less what people call it. But I was genuinely embarrassed for the guy making the bar argument and acting triumphant about it when it’s the weakest point I’ve ever heard in my life.
