parents are from different places too...

I could also give you some Mexican slang, if you want although it's Spanish. You might find that interesting. That's Guanajuato Mexico if it makes any difference.

Okay ya'll, I told my proffesor that i would put this survey up for class...

I am taking a graphics class and we were talking about the different objects being known as different things around the country... such as pop/soda and water fountain/bubbler (weird I know). these things are important to know in ad desing, which is what we are covering in this class.

So what I want to know is, what is your word for the following objects in your part of the world?

[EDIT]

please add where you are from if you are comfortable with that... just a general idea
I'm in Ohio I've also lived in AZ, CO, CA, + IL. My parents are from WA and CA.
