Beer

No one calls those things hoagies that I hear. But I don't live back East.

Also, if it's not 'candy bar' then what is it?

Soda, grinder (in Vermont, though I call them subs) and candy bar.

Water fountain or bubbler?
Frosting or icing?

(I say water fountain and icing, as I do subs and candy bars)

Coke -- And by that I mean Dr. Pepper.

Also, Carts and Grocery bags = Sacks and Buggies

Bubbler due upbringing/geographic origin; I'm trying to say drinking fountain more often, though.

Frosting, for a cake/cupcake; icing, for a cookie.

Sub and candy-bar as well. But I'll slip chocolate-bar by myself, sometimes.

People call those things bubblers? wtf? (I call them drinking fountains)

Soda. I went to Washington State a couple of years ago and my cousin's friend asked if I wanted some "pop". It did take me awhile.

soda
bubbler
frosting
candy bar

Yeah, I've never heard bubbler before this very moment.

soda-pop

soda - but a lot of people around here say pop.

pop

Also, I'm confused. Do you people refer to items like Oh Henrys and Butterfingers as candy bars?

Because they're clearly chocolate, not candy.

i say soda. many of the people who i went to college with called it pop, but i never got into that groove. i did stop saying "to be", though. that's still slowly coming back to me.

soda

Grew up saying "pop" then as I grew older realized it sounds juvenile and now say "soda".

Don't care about the other categories but also had a wtf? moment over "bubbler".

Pop is obviously the correct way.

Soda is acceptable, but sounds kinda retarded.

But, ´Coke´ ??? For everything? You hillbillies gotta get it together down there. C´mon. When your buddy says, ´Hey, Bubba, get me a Coke,´ how the hell do you know what he wants?

Yes. For one, Butterfingers only have chocoalte on the outside, so they are clearly not "clearly chocolate". I don't know what the fuck is in an Oh Henry. But regardless, I call plain Hershey's a candy bar, though chocolate bar would be acceptable in that case. I think the operative word here is "bar." Chocolate is candy, is it not?

Also, SODA


edit: left out a word

soft drink

Pop. Moxie is in a category all its own. It's just Moxie.

soft drink
icing
bubbler
chocolate bar/whatever brand name
sandwich (is this what you mean by sub? Only Subway calls them that here)

while we're here:

lift
boot (=trunk of car)

And the fight against Americanisms continues...a losing battle

fizzy drink

ive said soda before too

but pop is for under 5s and hillbillies

I say pop, as it is the norm here in the Maritimes, but i've always liked the 50's -esque appeal of the term "soda".
