>On the west coast you say coke or diet coke depending upon which one you want. When I was in the south in the early 1960's a favorite expression was, "Give me an RC and Moonpie". I do not know if they still use that expression or not?

>We had RC in San Francisco when I was a kid and I liked it more than coke. I have not looked for RC for years and do not know if it is still made. In fact I have not had a softdrink in about 35 years, as I just do not like the taste (too much sugar and God only knows) and will not drink a Diet anything! :)

I don't know about RC Cola, but the Moon Pies are still around here. RC Cola always tasted like a flat Coke to me. As for Diet anything, I believe they are the number one cause of Obesity! Think about it, isn't that what every fat person drinks? Of course, it may have something to do with the Twinkies and the Butterfingers.<g>
