CHERRY SOMETHING

ME: Looks like you are drinking a cherry Sprite. Do you want a refill?

TEENAGE GIRL: It’s not, it’s a Shirley Temple.

(Okay, technically there is a difference, 1) Shirley’s should be made with 7 Up, not Sprite, but not sure you can find 7 Up anywhere except at a grocery store. and 2) A Shirley should have cherries in it.)
