A New {Vintage} Beverage Rack

"Soda" or "Pop"?

Always a debate which to call it, depending on where you're from apparently.

"people in the South have a tendency to refer to all forms of soda pop as "Coke," 

people in the Midwest call it "pop", says Pop vs. Soda.  

What about the folks in the East and West?!

Funny enough, I used to call it "pop" (am from the Midwest) growing up, but now call it "soda", and to make matters even more wack-a-doodle, I predominately drink Coke when it comes to carbonated beverages, 

so I often just say, "Coke".  

Why all this soda vs. pop nonsense?  Enter, my new vintage beverage rack...

 {photo taken pre Halloween, hence the pumpkins...and they are still sitting there now}

It got me thinking about pop soda, and how there is 

no pop, or soda, or Coke on this rack of mine, only books. 

 I don't think I've ever had a proper book shelf...I often end up using oddities that I feel make a good home for books, like the vintage beverage rack and this ladder...

One can only fit so many books on a ladder, so I'm happy to have found this new piece, which incidentally came my way via my gal pals, Susan and Mary.

It's a little wonky, very rusty, and seems to have permanent water stains (?) on it, 

but I just love it...it's charm outshines all of that!

So what's the verdict..."Soda", "Pop", or "Coke"?
