Not so much anymore, but in the 80s, Cuisinart was synonymous with food processor.

Guess it depends on where you live. I don't do it anymore but when I was a kid we would tell my mom before she went grocery shopping to get some "grape coke" or "orange coke." It was coke and Sprite. Anything dark or colored was some kind of "coke" to me and anything clear was Sprite.

Champagne is not the proper name of a product, it is the name of sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France.
That's his point. Most people call all sparkling wine "Champagne" when it isn't.

No they don't. I've heard this in South Dakota, but I have never hear this I'm the actual south.
So I trust this random guy who never heard this, when I and many grew up calling soda's and pop cokes all our lives. see map above.
