7-Up's DNL pop, anyone try it ?
 

I've just learned that 7-Up is coming out with a new pop called DNL - http://www.dnl-flipit.com

They're even having a bid deal over at Ebay, selling the first cases of it, check it out HERE

I'm always happy to see a new pop hit the market, I just keep hoping that it's gonna be something good. The last few pops that came out haven't stuck with me. Code Red Mountain Dew seemed good at first, but now, I don't care to drink it too much, then there's Pepsi Blue, that tastes like shit, he he he.

Anyways, I'm just checking to see if anyone has had the chance to sample this yet and what they thought.

Hey, as long as it's nothing like the blue pepsi!!! :Oh crap

POP?

dude its called SODA

I call it Pop too! But I say Soda when I go the the States or I've got CANADIAN writen all over my forehead! :1orglaugh

I have been/lived in a few parts of the states where people said "Pop" rather than "Soda". Not just a Canadian thing. :) Though they have it really odd in the UK, they don't really have a word for such beverages. Some people call them "fizzy drinks" and that's about the closest. Though, thanks to movies, they know what I mean when I say soda or pop.

Ha ha ha, I get a kick outta when I hear people call it Soda. I live in Michigan and we all call it pop up here, so I think that it's a Northern thing where the people up North call it pop, while you Southerners call it soda.

in some places every says Coke regardless of what flavor

i love Yanks who don't even know their own country. And Canucks get bent out of joint when Americans don't seem to know jack about Canada........well your expectations are too high cuz that gomer from Tennesse doesn't know anything about Michigan either.

Pop is universal across Canada as the word for 'soft drink'.
But pop is also the word in a lot of regions in the United States, like Michigan. I think Ohio too.

New York is definitely a 'soda' state though. Cali I think is also 'soda'. I bet most of the Great Lake states are 'pop' people.

any other words Canadians and Americans differ on?

Yup. Sneakers. Athletic shoes. Canucks generally refer to sneakers as 'running shoes'. MA WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU PUT MY RUNNING SHOES!!! But sneakers is ok too. I think i have spent so much time with Americans in my life that i call them sneakers as well as 'running shoes'.

Another difference - how Canadians refer to their schooling.

An American kid will say in the 'third grade'. A Canadian kid will say 'I'm in Grade 3'.

When an American teenager talks about his plans after high school he talks about going off to 'college'. Even though the best schools in the U.S. are called universities. Canadian kids refer to it as going to 'university'. 'Colleges' in Canada are like 'junior colleges' in the States. Nobody is proud to say they go to college in Canada.


can't think of any others right now.


oh wait.....................not sure if this is a Canadian/U.S thing.
But Canadian kids refer to the baseball position of 'catcher' as 'back catcher'. I used to say this to my Dad 'Dad our back catcher hit a homerun to win the game'.........he would look at me like i was nuts "Why are calling him the back catcher? It's 'catcher' not back catcher".

One thing that I get a kick outta is how when we say "Canadian Bacon", we're talking about a piece of ham. What is "Canadian Bacon" in Canada ??? Is it really bacon or is it ham like over here ?

I can bet that is gonna taste just like Mountain Dew.

Blah!

cant believe the fucking prices idiots on ebay will pay

its called pop in WA state. my friend that lives in michigan works in a pop factory called like fago or something and he calls it pop, so he must be an expert cause he works in a factory. so pop it is.

is it me or is that just 7up upside down?

That is, in fact, the whole point...

aaah..the power of marketing...im sure they could sell shit on a stick and it would sell out!!

Most of those terms come from the britts.

Very true. I was born and raised in East Texas, and down there, people would ask you what flavor of coke you wanted. I still have a few Texas-isms that cling to my speech -- I chronically say I'm "fixing to" do something when I mean I'm "about to." I still say ain't, unfortunately, and I don't think I'll ever completely rid myself of y'all, either.

One of my girlfriends, whom I met online, thought I was an intelligent, erudite person, until she heard me speak on the phone. She's a college-educated, priviliged ivory-tower lesbian from New Yawk, and it took her a long time to understand that my corn-pone country-girl accent did not necessarily mean I was dumbern' a box of rocks. :1orglaugh
