Look at my wood

[Nigelk8485]

I just read on wikipedia that "soda" was first used in 1802, and the name came from the carbonates of sodium used to provide carbonation. "Pop" is an onomatopoeia (from opening a carbonated drink) that first showed up in 1812.

Nice wood! Let's see it in the tank!

Unfortunately I don't even have the tank yet. I'm having to wait to pick it up from the guy until I move into my new house. Of course I can't close on the house until they finish pouring the concrete around the pool and Louisville is having twice as much rain this month than the average which is preventing them from pouring concrete. Everything is working against me in getting my tank set up.

What size tank are you going to put that wood in?

We have Big Red everywhere here, but call it Soda and sometimes refer to everything as Coke(such as Root Beer, Dr. Pepper and even Sprite).

I knew up north it got called pop alot but was surprised to walk in a store(Ohio) and they had a sign saying pop

Although I am trying to cut out soda consumption as a part of cutting body weight I am a little intrigued and interested in having a swig of this Big Red.I might look for some tomorrow.

It's going in a 150 gallon. Planning on an oscar, severum, some silver dollars, and a Senegal bichir with it. But I have changed my mind a million and a half times in the last month of what I want.

Cut out soda consumption and increase pop consumption. And yesssss! I was going to tell you next time you're in a convenient store look for it. Preferably in glass bottles. I think Cracker Barrel sells the four packs of glass bottles as well.

LOL,well if I can't find it in any convenience stores at least I have a Cracker Barrel that is not too far that I can go to and get it from.

It's at Walmart everyday here in 12pk cans or 2 liter. Yes you must try it, it has a really unique taste to it, almost like bubble gum. However I can't get hooked to it so after 1 or 2 (2) liters I switch back to my normal cola.

Cracker Barrel, Here they have Zagnuts and Buckeyes, which can't be found around here.

Zagnuts...the candy bar?....haven't seen that one in years.

It's best in a glass bottle. And weird, Wikipedia said people compare it to bubble gum or like a lemon, orange, vanilla mix. I don't get either of those, it's just smooth.

What is a zagnut?
