And, finally, according to Wikipedia, Coke II (the renamed version of New Coke) is still bottled in American Samoa. Good luck finding a way to order some, though. Where I live, I see Squirt and its related brands all the time in the stores. In fact, I just had a glass of the stuff this evening so I was surprised to see it turn up among the “defunct” pop picks. Also, as author of this this Feud, #7 refers to non-American carbonated beverages. Although sold globally, Coke shouldn’t count because it’s also sold in the U.S. ---

Regarding #7..that aint what the question said tho…Coke should be a legit answer…even if it aint legit there are no wrong answers. ---

Looks like I’m going to be the lone answer~er for #10 with “coke,” but that’s what everyone here calls carbonated beverages. I’ve done it all my life and I bet Swampy does too (as it’s common in the South), but he’s such a good player he’ll pick the most popular, I’m sure. ---

> [@MadTheSwine](#): > > Yeah Squirt is big here,fact 'O business, Diet Squirt is one of my regular drinks. I love Diet Squirt, it’s more flavorful than Fresca. The only Squirt that’s difficult to find around here is Ruby Red Squirt. The plain stuff, though, (as well as a number of other grapefruit-flavor brands, and even store-brands) has become easier to find over the years as the Hispanic population has grown in this area. Not sure how the high-caffeine version is doing. [QUOTE=Ellen Cherry] (Ale-8-One) I don’t know if anyone else will have heard of this, but it’s very popular in Eastern Kentucky, and is solely manufactured in Winchester, Ky. [/QUOTE] It’s also made by the Pepsi bottler in Corbin KY. For some reason, the Corbin stuff is what I find on trips to Louisville, while the Winchester stuff is what shows up in Indiana. ---

I’ve done it all my life and I bet Swampy does too (as it’s common in the South), but he’s such a good player he’ll pick the most popular, I’m sure. Actually, though “coke” is common for _any_ soft drink, I grew up with non-alcoholic carbonated beverages being referred to as either “soft drink” or “soda”. Soda is my preferred term. Though I do get all cutesy with it at times and say “gimme a cold sody water!” 😃 ---
