Great. I already think of songs when I hear this name. First it was the old WWII hit Rum and Coca-Cola ("Rum and A-GRI-cola!"), then it was an old Big Band ballad called Amapola. Now I have a new one. Thanks, Rocky! :-) Posted by Larry Levy on Nov 8, 2007 at 11:13 AM | #

What is the “official” pronounciation, anyway? Agri-Cola just sounds wrong to me. To my ears, something like “uh-grik-uh-lah” (no real emphasis on any one syllable...maybe just a bit on the first, but not much) is more accurate. Posted by Jon Theys on Nov 8, 2007 at 01:39 PM | #

A friend of mine who took Latin says the proper pronunciation is ag-RI-co-la. No doubt correct, but not nearly as much fun to say! Posted by Larry Levy on Nov 8, 2007 at 04:38 PM | #

Jon & Larry’s friend are correct. But Agri-cola is so much fun. Think of the expansion where your fields suddenly produce much more valuable crops ... but your children stop working. I like to call it C*ca Cola. Posted by Melissa Rogerson on Nov 8, 2007 at 06:47 PM | #

yeah, I suppose a slight emphasis on the second syllable is what I was thinking. (4 years of Latin is HS are finally paying off! Sweet!) Posted by Jon Theys on Nov 9, 2007 at 12:08 AM | #
