>>13136640Both can be served hot, this doesn't make any sense. You are describing the difference between two vastly different potato products by *temperature*, not alternative nouns, i.e. you don't know how to invent names so you adjectivify.
>>13136646No one asks for "hard drinks" in Australia and when they do they're usually thinking of a majority spirit drink, mixed with soda. The implication here is that "soft drink" would be a light alcoholic drink such as beer but you don't use it for purpose, it's used to describe *all* beverages, including cordial, soda, etc.
