Re: Coke vs. Pop vs. Soda, etc.

This regional difference must be recognized by people in the trade;
we just got new (generic) soft-drink/carbonated-drink vending machines
installed in our building, and I noticed that they DON'T say "soda"
or "pop"; they say "COLD DRINK" -- not "drinks"; sounds sort of
Japanese-English, actually...

Anyway, I guess that makes the machines universal, without requiring
changing the front panel wording.
