You left out tonic. When I was growing up all the soft drinks were tonic.

I am very well aware of the thousands of types of delicious cheeses
available world wide, me being a Fetta girl myself! Cheese is one of my
favourite things in the whole world!
I just thought of another thing too...
Cordial! No-one, and I mean NO one in the US had any idea what I was
talking about when I asked if anyone had cordial! We always have at
least 2
bottles of different flavours in our house! It is a concentrated water
syrup stuff that you add about a cm of to the bottom of a glass and
fill the
remainder with water. It is always a fruity flavour - raspberry,
"fruit
cup", orange, lime, lemon etc. The closest American equivalent I could
find
was "Kool Aid", but it is powder?!
It sounds like what we call "Italian Syrup", sold as Torani (sp?) and
poured either into club soda (seltzer water) or over shaved Ice.
It comes in a wide variety of flavors.
If you want serious regional differences, it seems that every part of the
US has a different name for carbonated sugar water:
soda
pop
soda pop
coke (not Coke, but coke. What sort of coke would you like? Pepsi)
