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?
I'll give you the Swedish words so you can impress your professor.
