Actally, that's a picture of me when I ask for a coke and the waitress asks if Pepsi would be OK.
Every time I tell them 'no it would not be OK'.

Nowadays, I have given up trying and beat them to it by asking for "your house cola".

That was indeed very annoying when I was in the USA being used to selecting the bills by color and form. And the permanent necessity to squint while driving because all signs were a long text instead of symbols that could be checked by a short glimpse. I am not a fast reader so it was a nightmare, all these lengthy texts.

I'm a Pepsi man myself. I drink it with plenty of ice. Though I have the quirk of still loading the ice in Winter. Not very wise, I admit.

You need a lot of ice to deafen the taste buds. :cool:

A few times , out of laziness, I drink it without and still enjoy it. Cheap and enjoyable, a great combo.

I prefer drinking April Wine with, Guess Who, some Barenaked Ladies. Then again, I am a bit of a Loverboy.

Why does English use a word for such a big thing as antlers, which sounds like tiny little eusocial formicidae aka insects?

Spanish has a word for two people with the same ( first) name: ' Tocayos'. Seems a bit contrived .

The same reason that the three syllable full-sized term "World Wide Web" is shorter than its nine syllable acronym "Double-you double-you double-you.".

A mix of Germanic and Latin roots, I think. So it's your fault...
