With the holiday coming up I thought it would be interesting to share the differences in our local lingo. What do you know about the differences and origins of the popular terms for carbonated beverages like soda and sandwiches on buns/bread? I know it depends on where you live but, why do you call it by a certain name? I had a weggie in Pittsburgh that was actually a folded pizza crust, stuffed with meat and cheese. BTW, if you don't want it heated you better ask for cold or they automatically put it in the oven - lettuce, tomato, mayo and all! And Primanti Brothers has their own crazy idea (http://www.primantibros.com/) and puts the slaw and fries right on the sandwich! I understand it helped the local workers eat with one hand - fast, efficent, and clean. Did you know why sliced pickles are rippled - for traction! A fast food chain came up with the idea which made the burgers easier to eat and not slide and was a great way to distrubute the pickles. Tell me what you know
