skymama 37 #3 July 8, 2004 Wow...I thought soda would have beat out pop. I wonder what people say in the "other" category. It's "coke" for me, and I only drink diet coke.

turtlespeed 226 #4 July 8, 2004 What is so hard about calling it by it's name? I go to the restraunt and I order a sprite - or a 7up - I don't order a coke and then get asked what kind. That woiuld be ascenine. Just as I don't order a Orange Crush and think hmmm I wonder if she knows I want a Pepsi - I don't order a Mt.Dew and expect a Dr.Pepper - Why in any form of logic whatsoever would anyone - A N Y O N E - call a drink by any other name than what the product is marketed as - or at least something similar, like Dew Juice - or Dr P - Hurumph -I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #5 July 8, 2004 I live in the land of people calling it "Pop" when it should very clearly be called "Soda". Mind you I dont live where I mostly grew up so that might explain the problem...

Luna 0 #7 July 8, 2004 Wow, that's cool! I grew up in Texas, which, obviously is the land of "Coke," although my drink was Dr. Pepper. Never really gave it much thought. Then when I was 17 I moved to Virginia, which isn't quite as clear-cut, but is a "soda" state. I re-trained myself on that when I moved here, as well as on eliminating the use of "y'all." I wanted to fit in, you know. I'm walking a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Click Here for more information! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champu 1 #11 July 8, 2004 actually I think georgia is the land of coke I'm pretty sure you can be legally shot for drinking pepsi within the atlanta city limits. I grew up near chicago and I call it soda, but now I live in SoCal, I guess I'm finally "with my people" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymut 0 #12 July 8, 2004 Yep, I live 'deep in the heart of 'coke' country'. Although I think it's a crime to call something as incredible as Dr. Pepper 'coke', but hey, it has become generic...like xerox, etc. Matt A well-informed person is somebody who has the same views and opinions as yours.

hookitt 1 #14 July 8, 2004 It was pop when I lived in Montana, but eventually switched to soda after moving to California. What kind of Coke do you want? Dr Pepper seems weird. Where's Pop? He's from Texas, ask him.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #15 July 8, 2004 QuoteWhat is so hard about calling it by it's name? I use the term "coke" mostly when I'm asking someone if they want a drink. I'll say, "hey, you want a coke?" and they'll say something like, "sure, what do you have". It's interchangable with soda or pop to me. At a restaurant, I'll say exactly what I want for sure.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
