I call them pennies and they are the main focus of my life study. Of course they are cents, but I don't use that word unless descrbing them by series - Lincoln Cent, Indian Head cent. You would NEVER hear me say " Lincoln Penny". Anyone who makes a point of correcting the term is a little overboard. |

I think we need to start saying "A cent saved is a cent earned" and "A cent fot your thoughts" that's my two pennies worth. It's all a bit centsless.  By the way, I've been collecting them for a couple years now and still can't decide whether to call them "nickel 3 cents" or "3 cent nickels". It occurred to me this morning that this is the only denomination of coin the U.S has issued where you cant have a pile of them that equals exactly a buck. OK, sorry, I'm rambling... |

Back when they were in change, they were called 'nickels' - most people now call them ' Three Cent Nickels'. It's our own doing that forces us to ASSUME that the word 'nickel' automatically means 'five cents'. |

Actually diet drinks dump harmful chemicals into your body that do more harm than sugar. If soda is the drink of choice you do yourself a lot more good just drinking the ones that have sugar in them. I drink Dr. Pepper when I do drink soda.

Unfortunately, most soda drinks use a lot of chemicals for flavoring and you need to step up to the gourmet blends. I'm not a big soda drinker but I like root beer. Some of the best stuff I tasted is Bulldog's and Virgil's. Be ready to spend about $1-$1.50 per 12 ounce glass bottle though.
