Pop

[sr71blackbird]

I overheard this conversation at work:
Guy1: I am going downstairs to the pop machine, do you want anything?
Guy2: ...where are you going?
Guy1: The pop machine...uh Soda machine..
Guy2: No thank you...
Guy1 leaves the room
Guy2 says aloud "Pop? Where are we, in Minnesota?"

I tell a co-worker about the exchange and he tells me about how over the weekend his girlfriends friend came up from Connecticut and they went out for ice cream and the friend sees all the multi colored toppings and says "ooooo! Look at all them jimmies!"
Everyone looks at each other and mouthed the word "jimmies?"

Never heard billy staples on air ehhhh

Dude loved "jimmies"

One of the few faults of Oregon is that they call Soda "pop". Its childish and stupid...everyone should stop.

[landarch]

Lewis Grizzard had a line for this back in the day:

"Pop? I'll pop you upside the head with this Coke bottle!"

Of course, like much of the South, "Coke" might have been sprite, or Dr. Pepper, or root beer.

Eh, guess you had to be there.

They're jimmies. Also it's not a fucking milkshake people it's a frappe. Get it right!

What adult drinks soda ever?

I never heard the term "jimmies" until I started reading books from people outside New York. What is it suppose to mean? You sprinkle sprinkles, not jimmies! Do people who use that term refer to anything that small an in abundance as jimmies?

Wiki

The Brigham's Ice Cream Company claims that "Jimmies were first developed by Just Born Candy Company, which was founded by Samuel Born, who immigrated to the US from Russia around 1910 ... Born ... decid[ed] to accredit the name to the producer, Jimmy Bartholomew. The new product was named JIMMIES, which is still a trademarked name ...."[3]

this has been covered many times, but soda (http://popvssoda.com:2998/) is nowhere near as all-encompassing as you might think if you live in the north-east or california.

"Pop" and "Jimmies" are both better than saying chopped meat. Chopped meat just sounds disgusting. It's ground! Groooooouuuuuuuunnnnnnd!

[Misteriosa]

pop is soda.

jimmies are sprinkles.

hoagies are subs.

steak and cheese is a cheese steak.

thank you.

Non-blue = seeds.

Sprinkles = colored sugar

Technically it is chopped by a blade. I say either though.

As far as I'm concerned, saying "Pop" or "Jimmies" is like saying you want "Fish Bakey" or "Scramby Eggs".

I was mainly just being silly and messing with sr71 because he used chopped in the stuffed peppers post. I do think it's odd, but I don't sweat what people call things in different regions.

[Furtherman]

As a kid, they were known to me as Jimmy Seeds.

[burrben]

i use both pop and soda, though i say pop more often

[biggirl]

I say "pop", but I am from Minnesota, so it's ok.

[realmenhatelife]

For ice cream toppings I always understood it like this: Rainbow = sprinkles chocolate = jimmies.

No, for chocolate, say "chocolate sprinkles". The other one is "rainbow sprinkles". I suspect that anything in a multitude of small items can be considered "jimmies", wether they are food items or not, right?

Wrong

Jimmies are Jimmies. I can not make it much clearer

Here this might help

Also, there should be no sandwich called a "wedge" or a "hoagie" or a "sub", just call them "hero".

[TripleSkeet]

Its soda. Saying pop is gay. And saying Coke for every soda is just fucking retarded. Why am I not surprised that its the hayseeds in the south that do that?

Also, we always said Jimmies. Sprinkles, like pop, and sub, just sounds completely faggoty.

So class, heres your lesson for today:

Soda, Jimmies, Hoagies >>> Pop, Sprinkles, Subs

No homework. Class dismissed.

[Coach_Mac]

Just to clear up the "coke for everything" deal, I know we like to say that we do that but that's not actually true. I've lived all over the south and the truth is if we want a coke- we say coke, a dr. pepper- we say dr. pepper. We don't have an all-incompasing word like soda or pop, we just say what it is we want.

[strawberrypop]

I thought this thread was going to be about me. Then I cried.

[Donnie Iris]

For ice cream toppings I always understood it like this: Rainbow = sprinkles chocolate = jimmies.

I was brought up the same way as far as the ice cream toppings.

I said pop as a child but have switched to soda as I got older. I think it officially changed when I moved out west for college but when I returned to the east, I noticed that where I live is not exclusivly pop nor soda.

There is a website that maps it by region but I forget it now.

No its not, it is forced by a screw conveyor through a stationery GRINDING plate with holes of varying size, depending on the desired grind size. Typically chopped meat is much more course, and is a step performed before the grinding process.

Just sayin........

I'm going to puke. Can't we go back to "because god made it that way?"

[One Dead Fred]

I was in an assembly in high school. There were kids gathered from western PA and eastern PA. Someone down front thought it'd be fun to yell "soda". It turned in to a small riot of people chanting soda or pop.

I had to question everything after that.

Fuck that it's a "sub"

[sr71blackbird]

When you order a 6 foot party sandwich, do you call it a 6 foot sub?

[sr71blackbird]

Also, if I went to a Boston deli and asked for an Italian hero, would I be laughed out of the place?

[led37zep]

Yes.

Yes or they would give you a picture of Joe Pesci

[sr71blackbird]

If you ordered a sub here, they would ask you if you want them to bring it out to your cah

Err...I'm pretty sure Subway is a national chain. There's no excuse beyond being a douchebag to act like you don't know what a sub is! Arrrrr! <---That's me being a pirate. Pirates call things what they want and you had better like it! Scurvy Dog!
