I’ve run a few **Feuds** , and plan to do so again soon, as I have a couple of ideas percolating in my brain. ---

Shouldn’t all of the people who answered “Dr. Pepper” or “Mr. Pibb” be disqualified for unnecessary punctuation? Neither of them properly contains a period. 😛 ---

> [@Ellen\_Cherry](#): > > I didn’t know that! I thought Winchester was THE PLACE for Ale-8-One (“A Late One,” which is what its name, inexplicably, puns on.) Oh, it’s definitely the place for Ale-8-One; the Corbin bottler is a licensee, while the Winchester bottlers are the owners. I should sit down sometime and have a taste-test to see if they taste different, like Moxie does between licensee- and owner-bottlers. ---

Thanks for running the Feud, **MsWhatsit**! It’s nice to take a breather! Fun theme, **NDP**. What kinda Coke you want, **Ellen**? 😉 (It’s not entirely unheard of here in Texas, believe me!) ---

Although it wouldn’t have helped my score at all, now I wish I’d answered “Vin Fiz” for question 9: [Vin Fiz Flyer - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vin_Fiz) ---

Last question was what do I generally call a carbonated drink. From the midwest my answer would be pop. I know that soda ,while wrong, is more common. But that was not the question. What do I call it ? was. A fair question would have been what do most people call a carbonated beverage? ---

But that was not the question. What do I call it ? was. A fair question would have been what do most people call a carbonated beverage? I’m still baffled that not a single other person answered “soda pop,” even though _that was the term used in over half of the feud questions!_ ---
