5 What do you call a carbonated beverage ?




These are my answers -

[sivyaleah]

1 The last slice in a loaf of bread - the Heel
2 The thing you use to switch TV channel - the remote (or, clicker)
3 Melted cheese on top of toasted bread - poorly made grilled cheese
4 The place you put shopping at the rear of the car - trunk
5 What do you call a carbonated beverage ? - Soda

 

[Tobermory]

1. Crust
2. Remote
3. Cheese on toast, unless you mean the cheese is between two pieces of bread, and then it’s grilled cheese.
4. Trunk for a regular sedan. I have an SUV, though, and just call it “the back.”
5. Soda or soft drink

 

[Willowy]

1 The last slice in a loaf of bread
Heel. Crust is the edges you cut off your sandwich

2 The thing you use to switch TV channel
In our family we say clicker but we'll say remote control when talking to anyone else

3 Melted cheese on top of toasted bread
There's a name for that? Idk, cheesy toast? Open-faced grilled cheese? I don't think I've ever eaten melted cheese on toast so I don't really have a frame of reference

4 The place you put shopping at the rear of the car
Trunk (but I have a minivan so yeah, just "the back")

5 What do you call a carbonated beverage ?
My family says soda but most locals say pop. My mom grew up calling all sodas Coke. "I'd like an orange Coke please"!

2 The thing you use to switch TV channel - Remote
3 Melted cheese on top of toasted bread - Cheese Bread? Honestly, just one piece of bread with cheese isn't normal around here. Some pizza places do it as a variation on garlic bread.

The butt
Remote
Grilled cheese

The last one I just call carbonated drink. I used to call it soda but now they make carbonated water so soda doesn't fit anymore.

But I do find it odd that most countries don't put ice in their drinks.

What's the road that runs beside the freeway and has entrance ramps? Feeder road.

Do you go uptown or downtown? We go downtown.

We call it frontage roads

We don't go either uptown or downtown, we just go to town. (the main road is only 7 miles long, and that is two towns together)

I really hate it when my drink gets watered down, so I prefer no ice.
