In the farm country of western Kansas you would often hear an old farmer ask for a "soo-dee pop".

Yum! Cow stomach, posole (hominy), chopped onions, garlic, chilies, a mix of spices and herbs all in a broth cooked for several hours. Good hangover cure.

In reply to:
Fizzies
In my youth, there was a drink product, which my younger brothers and sisters loved, called "Fizzies'. It was a flavored Alka-Seltzer! Haven't seen them for years, and am not surprised.

Damn! This is the most enjoyment I've gotten from scrapple... ever.
But, what are AP cakes? (I wasn't raised in Dutch-land...) Do like souse though. Guess I'm a rara avis for that quirk.

Whew!
I came in late and dutifully read this whooole thread before posting...
An anectdote about beer additives:
Last time I visited London, a local suggested I try a lager n' lime to beat the oppressive Summer heat. After my second delicious pint I went up to the bar to order my third. Slightly inebriated, I forgot the "n' lime" part of the order. To avoid bothering the busy barkeep, I helped myself to the squeeze bottle of lime juice on the counter. After the first sip I realized my mistake. I had liberally dosed the lager with "washing-up liquid". Ewww!
Sodapop:
My North Carolinian Father-in-Law recalls ordering a "dope" for thirst when he was a boy. I've heard elsewhere that the term harkens back to the day that sodas were actually medicinal tonics. Pepsi Cola, as I'm sure many of you know, contained the digestive aid pepsin. Coca Cola had a bit of Cocaine.
Sandwich query:
Any relation between Hero Sandwiches and Gyros? Gyros are slow-roasted thinly sliced lamb served inside rolled pita bread. Always assumed so...
Bad joke:
Q: How does one survive in the desert with no food?
A: Why, you eat the sand which is (sandwiches) there!
Sorry...

Just tried my first rambutan yesterday. A colleague brought a bowl of them to a meeting (had acquired them at some Asian-type grocery). I live in California, so a lot of people here have travelled to various parts of Asia and had them before, so had some familiarity with them, and each had a different style of eating them. One cut it neatly in half, cut the seed out, ate the meat; I took a guess and peeled it like a lichee (similar, but smaller and less agressive-looking); another person appeared to just squeeze it and the top half of the peel popped off, and he ate it like an egg out of an egg-cup.
In all cases, yummy.

Another thread about soda/pop what ever started a while back in response to Moxie-- a word of day a while back.
as an FYI, Signals-- a mail order catalog is selling a case(24 12oz. cans) of Moxie for $22.50. It not in their catalog on line-- but it is in their hard copy catalog.
It is not for sale in New England states (from catalog), where it is still sold--(i have even bought it and tried it.) Wow-- do they still have Moxie in Maine? I found it in Northern NH-- about 1 hour north of Mt Washington-- it is the real boondocks to use today's word--where US route 16 ends! (there is a road sign--This is the end of Rt 16!) in the town of Dummer-- where ex'es family lives.
Dummer might not make your map-- (it is pronounced just as it is spelt!) it's near the town of Milan -(my lan) NH. North of the city of Berlin (bur lin) NH.
