Ah, but do you have pudding?

I might hitch a ride with you to the Land of the Free Healthcare. In my heart, Canada is just England without all the things I hated about England. And with moose.

Oh bugger off back to Kansas with your 'pop'. I'll be here in sunny GA with my chilled sparking non-alcoholic beverage.

NOPE NOPE NOPE to pop. It's like when my brother was little and he used to call all soft drinks "tttssssh" because that was the sound they made when you opened them.

In summary, more than half the country calls soda either 'coke' or 'pop'.

I wasn't kidding in my original post, it pretty much means anything.

Some of the comments on this article are making me want to smash my face into my desk.

Banana pudding? Pffft, I've had better.

Funnily enough, I live in the southern US now, and just a few moments after posting thought "bet it's a bunch of Georgians stubbornly clinging to Coke's heritage".

I.... Just.... Why? That doesn't apply to any situation, ever.

Eeeew, people do that?

YES. INTERNETZ TROHPIES 4 YU.

Can you imagine my confusion the first time I heard my American ex-husband say he loves pudding?

*I'm sure at least one asshole commenter will try to correct me and say it's not bread, it's "pudding," because apparently in England, every fucking food is "pudding," to which my response is, respectfully, shut the fuck up.

My BFF and I are Wine Housewives, which I guess is a better way to say 'winos'. When we met, I was all about the bold reds and she could only drink sweet whites, which I hate. So we were never wine-compatible, sadly. Now I've introduced her to reds she likes and she introduced me to sweet wines I like.

And mine:

2013'sThe Great Gatsby, a so-so film that showcased both their enduring bromance and mediocre acting talent

My thoughts on ghost stories:

Are they supposed to look like certain celebrities? I get my Jez on at work and that means I have to watch videos with no sound, so forgive me if that's mentioned in the video. But if they are... Well, I can't tell who they're supposed to be, so I'd say not a great job.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Especially since surely all the makeup artist has to do is take a quick picture of their client with flash, and look at the picture to see if this is going on.
