An Oklahoma City apartment building caught fire over the weekend, and KFOR News Channel 4 was there to cover the story. Then, like a gift from the Lord of Viral Videos himself, Sweet Brown was discovered.
Sweet Brown said, “Well, I woke up to get me a cold pop and then I thought somebody was barbecuing. I said, ‘Oh Lord Jesus, it’s a fire.’ Then I ran out, I didn’t grab no shoes or nothing, Jesus. I ran for my life and then the smoke got me, I got bronchitis! Ain’t nobody got time for that.” (Via)
I love everything about the clip below — the name “Sweet Brown,” Sweet Brown’s preacher speak, the guy in the background crossing the camera three times, the way it seems someone named Jesus is interviewing Sweet Brown, the in-studio anchor doing her best not to laugh — with one exception. It’s “soda,” not “pop,” people. If Rick Santorum said that if elected President, he’d force everyone to say “soda,” he’d have my vote.

The battle lines of America’s next civil war will be drawn roughly along the same lines as the soda / pop debate.
I got bronchitis! Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Heard that.
Wrong. It’s Coke.
Agreed!
Pepsi > Coke > RC Cola
Exactly.
Josh has it!
No they are all cokes.
Agreeing on Coke being the accepted term, BTW.
Is Coke vs. Pepsi going to be today’s battle? Because I drink carbonated beverages like once a month and I still know that Coke beats Pepsi.
Look what you did, Josh. You’ve confused and angered the South.
To quote Apu, “The south shall come again!”
We’re easily confused and/or angered. Someone has to keep fox news in business.
Y’all don’t know what you’re talking about, but we’re okay as long as you leave sweet tea alone.
real sugar Pepsi or Coke in a glass bottle from the ethnic aisle at the grocery store > everything
…if it’s a Pepsi, or a 7up or something, how can it be “coke”? How the hell are you supposed to order one in a restaurant? This is insanity.
the guy in the background crossing the camera three times…
After watching this twice, I think the word you are looking for is “lurking”
Damn it, it’s soda. When someone’s pop I think popsicle.
*says
That’s because you must have three 21st chromosomes…
Am I the only one that calls it “soda pop”? Dor sho gha!
Yes. You. Politically. Correct. Bastard.
All jokes about regional beverage nomenclature aside, this clip is amazing. I absolutely cannot stop watching it.
Yeah, she is ADORABLE.
She is awesome. Such a ham.
Give this woman a show and call it Sweet Brown Around Town. Maybe she could be a critic of all things around various towns. Do it, VH1!
Oh man, with Zach Anner as a sidekick (nicknamed “Shake n’ Bake”), that would pretty much be the greatest show in the history of television.
Her only sidekick in this world is Jesus. She could talk to him while giving her critiques. Says Brown, “Jesus, this is a good plate of grits”
Santorum definitely says “pop”
And Romney says “The Devil Incarbonate”.
I’m not gonna sit here and have you lie to me. That was Kenan Thompson and I won’t hear otherwise.
It is NOT soda nor pop……it is TONIC for gorram’s sake…….
I find it hard to disagree with anything she said.
Santorum is a PA guy who went to Pitt for grad school. Pop is the preferred nomenclature of these here parts of PA.
That being said, I’d start saying Soda to keep him out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
I’ve always heard it referred to as “soda pop” in Western PA, but it’s definitely pop in most parts of the midwest.
As a Canadian, I say “soft drink”.

It’s Soda
Zooey is hotter than Emily
Chevy is right Dan Harmon is wrong
Haters to da left!
You are incorrect on 2 of 3 counts.
Zooey >>> Emily
Jokers to the right.
/me stuck in the middle.
If you have time, keep hitting “6″ when watching the video.
Do you have time for that?
I do! Kind of paradoxical…
(thank you for this)
It’s pop here in Michigan and a lot of the midwest. When I hear someone say soda I just laugh at them, and then bury them net to the others who’ve wronged me.
I like how the anchorwoman described Sweet Brown’s experience as horrifying, and Sweet was laughing by the end of her interview. Stay classy local news.
I don’t really say pop or soda, I say Coke or Root beer or Sprite, and I never say Pepsi. Also, I think soda wins, because “road pop” sounds stupid whereas “road soda” sounds delicious.
I’m a Chicagoan and I’ll die saying pop, not soda.
Colorado is a soda v. pop v. soda pop battleground state.
As mentioned, it’s coke. Not pop, soda, cola, bubbly, sarsaparilla or any other stupid shit you weirdos want to call a coca-cola type drink
It should be water or juice. You all sound fat.
Did the basehead in the video call the reporter Jesus?
Its POP, not soda.. to effeminate…
