    Tonic water is my favorite because the quinine fluoresces under UV light! (Well, it was cool when I was 25 years old and still went to dance clubs.)

    In most parts of the US, "coke" refers to "brown cola-flavored" soft drinks, like Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Using "coke" for 7-Up or fruit-flavored drinks is very Southern.
