pop goes the weasel. or prairie dog. or gopher.


This sign's jargon reminded me fondly of clearskies475 ("pop" = "soda," not "dad" for all you non-midwesterners out there who are envisioning, with puzzlement, mechanized, coin-operated paternal figures). Also, check out the prairie dog to the right of the sign. These little critters are ubiquitous midwestern icons.

Are they the same thing as gophers? (The prairie dogs, I mean, not the pop machines).
