Pronounced "Ham-tram-ick."

Also, in Michigan we don't call it "soda."

We call it "pop."

Only jerks call it soda anyway :-)

When someone asks me if I want a "soda", I reply, "No thanks, I'm not baking a cake today".

I have nothing against soda - but I prefer to drink it with some Coke syrup and sweetener added.(otherwise known as Pop!)
