I find this statement to be inaccurate. In my Southern New England experience, we always called it "soda" -- "pop" was considered a nerdy term best left to Richie Cunningham on Happy Days.

beer, I want beer
True story: when I lived in central Oregon there was this man-made lake at Detroit that was created by the damming of the river. In summer it was boats and bikinis paradis, but in October they opened up the dam and drained the entire valley, so basically you could walk the entire lakebed. Miles and miles of it. So foragers like myself would go out and metal detect the lake bed for watches, wallets, and various other shit dropped over the sides of boats by drunken partiers. Got some really good swag that way, hundreds of returnable cans, and some oddities, including a brand new trolling motor (with a missing battery clip, you could practically hear the fisherman holding it in his hand and yelling "FUUUUUUUUUCK!" as he watched it sink) and about a half dozen full and seemingly potable cans of various pops and beers.
The debate over the fate of the full pops and beers lasted days. They were clearly old, clearly abused, and clearly unopened. Some held that all that time exposed would ruin the contents, others postulated that vacuum sealed cans would last indefinitely and be perfectly good even after years at the bottom of the lake.
A guinea pig was needed, and since I will do pretty much anything on a dare, I was selected to drink and possibly die from poison pop.
It was fine. Drank one, two, three, not a single issue. So the moral of the story is, pop from the lake bottom will still be good, and always remember to secure your trolling motor.

Without being forgiven,
released from the consequences of what we have done,
our capacity to act would, as it were, be confined to a single
deed from which we could never recover;
we would remain the victims of its consequences forever,
not unlike the sorcerer’s apprentice, who lacked
the magic formula to break the spell.

I know this isn't the poetry thread, so hope it's okay to post it here. Seems to fit, in my opinion. No sides taken, no axes to grind; just a newbie view from the side lines. This quote isn't mine, but I wish it were. It's by Hannah Arendt. :smile:

Nice lines, and if you accept the premise that holding grudges does more damage to the victim I could see where it would make sense. However, as Twain said:
Mark Twain said:
I see your point Donovan. I agree with Twain's quote too. Always agree with Twain's quotes though.
Personally, I don't think there is ever one victim in any vendetta or grudge. Not talking about specific things that I know nothing about and aren't any of my business, but in life in general.
Both quotes apply, in my opinion.
To stay on topic, I had a Diet Coke yesterday (I have one or two a month) and I felt guilty about it!
