Mine was extremely close.

But still I don't see Cola as a choice for 'Carbonated Sweetened Beverage' for these types of quizes. & WTF is "Cocola"?

Mine is.

Which is great because apparently no one in the US would understand me at all...

It all came down to one question. new [Re: redk9258]
#319322 - 12/27/13 07:22 PM


Sneakers.

I've been calling things things for over 40 years now. What I've called them has changed in that time.

This got the area pretty well, but went wrong when it decided to name cities so close together. Paterson is 34 miles away, and closer to the other two than it is to me. Newark, named with it, is 40 miles,15 from Paterson and only 10 from New York, if I ever wanted to go there.

It basically could have guessed me based on one question. Apparently we're the only ones in the known universe to use the term "rotary" for a traffic circle.

Isn't that a Rollodex (along with a dial phone)?
