yes, it's regional. We don't say it much in Ohio. Like this:
officeWorker #1---"what's for lunch?"
officeWorker#2---"Oh, I packed."
oW#1---"I want Skyline."
oW#2---"Me, too. Let's go!" (throws packed lunch out, or, saves it for tomorrow, or, most likely, some 2nd shift worker finds abandoned lunch and eats it at 11pm and no one is the wiser.)
