...When you like the bio as much as the piece.

I never feel like drinking these days, but I have to admit, if the price of coffee shot up like that, it would piss me off. I've noticed a slight increase as of late, so now I'm wondering how much worse is this going to get.

BTW, I'm also a type 2 diabetic, so I stay away from pop.

"Pop"? Get that Midwest terminology outta here.

We call it "soda" in the states. Or if you are in the south, it's just "Coke".

"I'd like a Coke please."

"What kind?"

"Dr. Pepper"

Here in Pittsburgh, we call it pop. I grew up calling it pop, and I will continue to call it pop until the day I die.

My apologies, "honorary midwest" lol

I used the word "pop" deliberately just to see if I would get any reaction. BTW, I used to think that was just a Pittsburgh thing, but when I lived in rural Ohio, I heard them using the word "pop" too.

We say pop in Alberta and Saskatchewan

I don't know about any of that, but I do know that Corn Pop was a bad dude.

I have lots of family in Minnesota and Wisconsin. They always ask me if I want "pop".

oddly, Andy and Barney of North Carolina referred to it as pop. They (and the legendary writers) get a pass from this southern.

In general, I’m not a boycotter , but I stopped supporting Starbucks years ago when a small black coffee was $3.95 and I didn’t have enough the patience to wait in line behind someone ordering a Mocha Latté with three shots of syrup, skim almond milk and cinnamon dusted whipped cream … I buy Columbia’s Supreme K Cups at Sam’s Club… 100/$25.98. It’s got great flavor. I will give up my wine before give up my coffee.

From now on these assholes bend to our preferences... They can only speak to me in "Piping Speak"... because our side just received the revelation that people who don't speak to us using Piping Speak are filthy shameless savages that hate all women and minorities...

... flip this script...
