Pop was the big term in Michigan. I like you guys with the Coke thing. What kind of Coke do you want? (Fill in type here), Most people here say Soda but I always say Coke.

I always said pop. that was the terminology in Montana and Minnesota. People looked at me like i had 4 heads when i would say pop in Wisconsin, but my step dad, who was from eastern Virginia would cover it all by saying "Soda water pop" And I agree with @TC84 everything in the south is "coke" and the one gas station attendant in South Carolina i dealt with several years ago had such a thick accent I had to have him repeat "Coke" four times before i could understand him.

In Ohio it's referred as pop, short for soda pop........Most of the people I grew up with prefered Pepsi over Coke.........I liked RC too, especially with the players on the can.......

RC Cola was the ish! I remember going to my grandparents drinking it. It was ALWAYS flat because they bought the 2 litre bottles but never refrigerated it. And I think it was the same bottle I had used like 6 months before on my last visit there. Still loved it!!

Pop really seems to be a Midwest thing since that was the overwhelming name for it in Michigan.

RC Cans and I have a loooooong and storied history. I have well over a thousand of them here in the attic. I have at least one complete set of both of the baseball years (1977 and 1978) and maybe even two sets of each. My brothers and I used to drive around and find them along the side of the road and we'd get all excited to see who we found. That unique blue color was very easy to spot. I flew a large trunk full of them back to NY between terms at Michigan State. And I bought a massive amount of them at an auction in Harrisburg, Pa and drove them back to NY where they clanged and rattled all the way home.

I wish I had more of the football and basketball RC Cans though. They are not as easily found and I think more pricey. I rememeber the football ones seemed to be distributed regonally as the ones at Michigan State were all Lions, Packers, Bears, Browns etec.

That threw me when I moved to Milwaukee. Like what the heck is a bubbler...was told that a fountain was a decorative item that people have in their yards. I did learn, however, how and why they were called a bubbler. The Kohler company had invented the type of drinking fountain called the Bubbler. And apparently it was mostly in the Southeastern corner of the state.

I dont think we're talkin the same kind of bubbler... Kohler definitely wouldn't be in that business... google 'glass bubbler'

Never quoted myself before, kinda weird.... anyway, was curious about this card. It says '94 Rookie but his RC is in '92. Just wondering if you baseball guru's had any say about it. Thanks

1994 Sportflics Rookie/Traded Rookie Starflics #TR2 Manny Ramirez $15

It's the most expensive one from that year........

Ya I got it in my Beckett, just curious why it says '94 Rookie on the card but '92 was his rookie year (according to Beckett and their listings)

 

[metsman1986]

You got me there, that's why MLB makes them play in a game before they make the companies put the "RC logo" on them now..........I think back then rookie was a pretty loose term..........

Looked him up on Baseball Reference and his '92 season isn't listed... minor league? If you sign with a team and they send you to the minors immediately they still are technically a player for the Major League team, I guess. I dunno... baseball is wacky sometimes!
