If you want to get weird and strange looks, try calling it "tonic"
anywhere in the USA besides central New England. It really causes
lots of little wheels to spin around in peoples heads when you
say it to them. (perhaps if you say it to the counter people
at McDonalds, they won't ask if you want anything else :-) ).
