OK, I have stayed out of this long enough. In our neck of the woods
(and I dare to say, a few other parts of the country), the collective
form of a rum (specifically Bacardi) and a cola drink is called a
P L A T Y P U S
Variations abound:
Bacardi and diet cola Light Platypus
Bacardi, (diet) cola, twist (Light) Platypus Dancing
Cola only Straight Platypus
This is no joke. There are many people in net land that will verify this.
... so, next time order a platypus.
