It is not one guy or one girl. It is the majority of guys and the majority of girls.
The majority of girls in the south don't leave the house to get the paper without full make-up. The majority of the girls in the north will head out in the summer without thinking twice about it.
And iced tea has not always been available, at least is Newport where I spent my summers. Some places would offer it just in the summer, others not at all. And forget about getting it pre-sweetened. And yes there is a big difference. (I am particular when it comes to my sweet tea).
I spent my summers as a teen without Dr. Pepper as well.
The north and south are different. And the difference make life interesting. I like it!
