Yep....I grew up in Texas and my mom called the couch a "DIVAN" the fridge was an "ICE BOX" and as you said..we had breakfast, dinner and supper....that one kept me confused for years! As far as drinks...no matter what you drank....Dr. Pepper, Coke, Sprite..it was all called "Coke".... Like all petrolium jelly was called "Vaseline". Fun times!!
