The test was deficient. They asked a question about what I called a sweetened carbonated beverage. The choices were "soda", "pop", "Coke". They did not allow the word "tonic" as an answer, which is what I called it as a young stripling. When asked what I called the appliance that you drink water from, the choices were "drinking fountain" and "water fountain", not "bubbler", which is what we called it in my misspent yoof.
So I demand a recount!
