Even with a slightly older demographic, Joel, the initial
reaction could be the same as you'd get trying to get directions,
nowadays, at a gas station: "Huh?"
(the other) doug
May I have a Nehi, please?

I'll have to experiment in the Boston metro area:  "What flavors of
tonic do you have?"  Or, if there are still soda fountains these
days, "Can you make a cherry tonic for me?"  The respondents will all
undoubtedly be under 21.  Especially during the summer.
