A "BLACK COW" is rootbeer with chocolate ice cream.

A "WHITE COW" is rootbeer with vanilla ice cream.

I have NO idea what a BIG RED is. :-(

An eggcream is made with selzter and ONLY U-BET chocolate syrup and milk.

A frappee is is something like an eggcream, but you can have a chocolate one, a vanilla one, or a strawberry one.

In the deep South every soda is called a "coke", which I don't understand, but it is. LOL

It's like hero sandwiches, which are also called hoagies, submarines, or grinders....depending on where one lives.

That’s because EVERY family in the South has family lore about missing out on buying COCA-COLA stock at the beginning. At least the families I’m familiar with.

Sound like the frappe is our soda

Big Red is a red cream soda that is rather regional although my son was able to purchase it in Alaska the summers he worked on the fishing boats there
It’s flavor is unique to itself.

The most humorous different was moving from northern to southern Indiana
In the north to go “spotlighting”. Meant you snuck up without lights on a parked car on lovers lane and suddenly turned your bright lights
When I moved south a friend said they were going to take their young children spotlighting: Driving to country, turn a flashlight on field looking for the eyes of he deer grazing there.
Oh those regional differences!
