Just watched this episode again, and I have to say that it still is amazingly entertaining after the 5th time watching it. When they go to O'malleys and carter orders the diet soda I was laughing my head off. However that raises the question what soda would the waitress bring? all carter said was diet soda and the waitress left? anybody got a answer?sigpic

I know the show is filmed in Canada, and while on Earth on the show they are in Colorado. I'm from Texas. While some people DO say soda where I live, we mostly just say coke. Like the soda aisle in Wal-Mart is the 'coke aisle'. Or we say we feel like a coke. And seriously, if you ask me for a coke, I'll ask what kind! Just one of those things!
To be on topic, it makes me laugh when Sam orders a diet soda when she's going to eat 3 or 4 steaks! I would have loved to see their table!

That sounds a bit like people calling vacuum cleaners 'hoovers', which we do in the UK (and you guys in the US might do the same, I'm not sure) - it also serves as a verb as in 'I'm going to hoover the lounge'. Not only that, it gets used quite regularly as a euphemism for eating, too - as in 'You finished off the cake, crumbs and all? You hoover!'.
Just to contribute to the topic drift for a moment - I don't think anyone in the UK uses the term 'soda' at all to refer to fizzy drinks. These days, most people use the brand name. I'll have to see what my local supermarket calls their 'fizzy drink' aisle...
Anyway, back to topic again.
I love the moment when Sam orders the diet drink as well - accompanying her three steaks. I'm with her, actually. I always prefer diet coke to regular because my teeth feel horribly sticky and 'coated' after regular coke. Yuck.sigpic
