Remember Jen, I wasn't born American. Where I'm from it's pop. Until I married Mike and moved to the States, I'd never heard the term soda used other than in cream soda or soda water.

Oh! See, where I am from, soda brings to mind baking soda. I am glad to know that others use Pop out there in the world.

I have absolutely nothing relevant to say on this topic but I wanted to add that I drink POP not soda. Soda is baking soda to me. Plus, I think it's a funny sounding word. lol

Also I am sick of chewed waterbottles...I wrapped the top of the bottles with aluminum tape...we'll see if it works...but I think it might??

If you are using the small mouse sized water bottles, a red bull can with the bottom removed and the top opening widened a little bit fits over them perfectly. Otherwise with a quart sized rat bottle a tunafish can with a hole in the middle will slip over the end with the sipper tube and another one without the hole at the top if that is also exposed. I've found that most of the chewing is at either the bottom or top edges so those are the only places you really need to protect.

Wooooah.. Wait a minute. Did you say "pop?" Yay, I am not the only one around who understands this word! I thought that everyone that wasn't from western NY said "soda." Thanks for proving this wrong!

I was in New England a number of years ago and went for a walk around Walden pond. There is a swimming beach there and they had a little store to buy drinks and candy. I asked for a pop and was mercilessly mocked and ridiculed until I asked for a soda instead.

They also sell metal bottle hangers/holders with a protective metal guard.. I have one of my remaining plastic bottles in one of those.
Don't worry Mark, we knew what you meant at least!

Whats a pop bottle? I think a poping bottle might hurt the rats. Now a coke bottle will do great though!

When I was living in Los Angeles, we used both Pop and Soda.

Wasn't that the 1950's way to say it? Soda-pop?
