An Overly Precise Sign

Warm Soda

It’s accurate, sure, but is it appetizing?

In truth, it could be more accurate, or at least more localized. “Pop” is a much more popular term for “soft drink” in Canada than “soda”. That fact comes courtesy of the very useful website Pop vs. Soda.

I also like how they specify that their confections are ‘take-home’. Under no circumstances are you allowed to eat them in the store. :P

Is this the Coal Harbour Shoppers Drug Mart in Vancouver? I noticed that same sign. For those wondering, it distinguishes the pop sold on the shelf (2L bottles, 12-packs of cans, etc.) from the single-serving cans and bottles sold from stand-up fridges. Which would be Cold Soda. Though some of that looks to be right there too.

Good point. There was cold Pepsi in that fridge, so it’s even less accurate than I first thought.

It’s actually a Shoppers in Victoria, near the corner of Fort Street and Oak Bay Avenue.
