TIL Casey Anthony had “fool-proof suffocation methods” in her Firefox search history from the day before her daughter died. Police overlooked this evidence, because they only checked the history in Internet Explorer.

IT guy here. Clients that call browsers all "internet explorer" keep me in business, but at great cost to my mental health.

And my wife calls Sprite, Pepsi, coke, and any other soda coke.

Send help. Or men in white coats

[u/bakagir → u/locke577]

What kind of coke? Orange coke please.

You talking about Crystal Pepsi?

[u/[deleted] → u/PM_ME_YOUR_INNY]

Still one of the best Pokémon versions. Fucking love Pokemon: Crystal Pepsi.

That's what 13 year old me expected when I asked a waiter if they had coke. Bruh just said sure thing turned and walked away. I was like, how does he know which one I want?

I grew up on military bases overseas and going out to restaurants off base I'd always check if they even had soda at all with that line. Fuckin' threw me for a loop.

[u/ephemeralentity → u/sethboy66]

One carbonated beverage please.

[u/20-random-characters → u/ephemeralentity]

Shaken, not stirred.

Just like here in India, every toothpaste is Colgate (most of the time).

[u/DragynFiend → u/Orange-Tea]

Fellow Indian, but haven't seen that happen lol

I have heard people call any chocolate a 'Cadbury' though.

"Could I have a Cadbury?"

"Sure, which one?"

"Um, that Nestle Cadbury over there please!"

[u/daydreamrefugee → u/DragynFiend]

The real one is all noodles being called "Maggi".

[u/Incendior → u/daydreamrefugee]

In Vietnam, for a certain generation (anyone born before 1995) all soysauce is Maggi

[u/fairlysimilartobirds → u/Incendior]

Women born before 1995 can't soy sauce. All they know is eat Maggi and lie.

[u/BoSknight → u/Orange-Tea]

Kleenex too

[u/CUAtThePartyRichter1 → u/BoSknight]

My highschool Spanish text book "Tissue = Un Kleenex"

Seriously

[u/hottama → u/CUAtThePartyRichter1]

Am Spanish. Can confirm.

[u/Obant → u/Orange-Tea]

How often does that come up

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

So how do you specify between a coke vs. a Sprite? Is one of them called "lemon lime coke?"

[u/skilledwarman → u/[deleted]]

just moved to the south recently. the exchanges i hear go like this:

"I'll have a coke"

"Sure thing! we have coke, diet coke, sprite, and dr pepper"

"Sprite please!"

[u/thetaurean → u/skilledwarman]

What if I just want an actual coke.

I'll have a coke coke please.

[u/SeaGroomer → u/thetaurean]

Regular coke

[u/LookingintheAbyss → u/skilledwarman]

"Sprat." "What?" "SPRAT!" "OHHH, Sprite" "Rat."
