There's a new article that takes a deep dive into the linguistic origins of the various ways that we refer to soft drinks.

Like pop, soda, soda, coke, cola, all of them. In fact, there's a lot of things that you don't know about soda.

The men's room top ten. The men's from top ten.

Ten or more facts you didn't know about soda.

Well, hell, I can tell you soda pot was a hot commodity in my household as a child.

Old Elaine was fond of our seat cold.

Man, when they came out with the three leaders,

you would have thought we won the goddamn lottery.

Well, just this weekend, I was out walking my dog, Henry.

We passed by a sleeping unhoused person, as you would call him.

And right there in front was an old two-liter bottle of ginger ale.

But I can tell you, without a doubt, nobody ever made a ginger ale to look like the original flavor or listerine, sweet Jesus.

That would be dehydrated urine yellow. Thank you, VD. Goodest, gracious.

So some facts that you didn't know about sody pop, did you guys know that flavored sodas were originally created by pharmacists?

Yes. Yeah.

Today you can get a refreshing sweet fizzy drink almost anywhere in a fast food joint on the street, even on a plane, but that wasn't always the case.

In the early days of soda, you could only get it at pharmacies. In the U.S. soda pop can be traced back to the Victorian era practice of selling patent medicines. In fact, early sodas were technically carbonated medicine tonics. Okay. Yeah. Makes it go down a little bit easier. Because I want to say what, Coca-Cola wasn't that a doctor?

I think maybe even Dr. Pepper was like to be a doctor.

Dr. Pepper that a doctor?

I think maybe even Dr. Pepper was a doctor.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
