Soda vs Pop

Okay. Okaaaaay. Pop. Soda. Coke. Pepsi. Bubbly Crap. Piss Water. What do you call soda-pop? There is a website called "PopVsSoda.com" that gathered and processed data from across English-speaking North America, plotting the regional variations in the use of the terms "Pop" and "Soda" to describe carbonated soft drinks.

KISN and Yaws = NW 10th & Burnside

There are plans afoot to recreate the Kisn Radio window exactly where it was when Star Stations owned it (1959 - 1976) and surrounding the studio in the fishbowl will be Yaws Restuarant featuring the original menu and up-dated menu plus incredible NORTHWEST Rock n Roll treasures. Heidi Yaw (granddaughter) will run the 50's -60's diner. Yes...shows will be broadcast from the corner window. Back in it's day, that corner in Portland was BUM town! Today it is the hottest real estate in the state! There are just a few left over tangles to deal with.

We were recently victim to impulse buying when we saw these displayed by the cash register at a local natural foods store. Drawn to the old fashioned tin and the interesting flavor combination, we couldn’t resist. Sort of like a slightly spicy and softer Mary Jane, we’ve found our new favorite candy. One question, does it come in chunky?
