What is it?

Soda's (coke, pepsi, fanta, 7up, etc) are all so generic that they are POP (south east US) or lemonade?

I wonder if it is related to my in laws(RIP) who would use the generic soda (to my kids "do you want soda? we bought some for today.."

and you'd never know what you'd get.

Pineapple flavor. or 'champaign cola'* or grape...

they treated soda like a generic.. no reguard to flavor. (i used to drink cola's --but they are bad for your bones.. so now i only drink lemon/lime flavored soda.. (any brand will do..)

* do you guys have champaign cola? It looks like cola (brownish) but it taste like cherry bubble gum! is is this a NY speciality (like Malta?--(ok so malta can be found in most East coast cities.. and PR.. (anywhere else?))
