Jimbo 0 #28 July 9, 2004 QuoteSee, that's just stupid. Coke is a brand. Pepsi is a brand. Coke does not mean "cola-flavored soft drink." I also think it's stupid to call a Scott tissue a "Kleenex."

peacefuljeffrey 0 #29 July 9, 2004 QuoteIt is soda. I hate when people call it pop, that sounds so ignorant. But not as ignorant as calling it "coke." Can you imagine someone saying, "I'll have a Coke," and the waitress saying, "What kind: orange, root beer, sprite or COKE?" Talk about sounding ignorant. These are the kinds of "Coke" that exist: Diet Coke Vanilla Coke Cherry Coke "C2" (I will never drink this shit) Coke "New Coke" The following are NOT "kinds" of Coke: Sprite 7-Up Dr. Pepper Pepsi Nehi Mountain Dew Crush If you live in a backwater where they call those things "Coke," get over it and realize that you've been mistaken all this time, but it's not your fault. Somewhere along the line, some hillbilly got taken seriously, and what used to be said to make fun of him started to get used in earnest by regular people, hence, "What kind of Coke do you want?" --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Hillbilly!? This thread shows very well how different areas of the US have different words for the same thing. To disparage someone because of a colloquial expression ain't right.

I didn't realize that one of the best Universities in the nation and the students were that backwater. I guess our degrees will mean nothing then...damn. I guess that counts out t.u., OU, OSU, LSU, TCU, Rice and all the other Texas/southern schools as well.

mouth 0 #48 July 9, 2004 The term "coke" is used by the Coca Cola Bottling Company to describe it's brand of cola soft drink. They used Coke as a marketing took for so many years here (yes, Coke is based out of Atlanta) that people naturally caught on and passed it around. EVERYTHING they make can be described by the term "coke". I don't care if you think I am a hillbilly (funny as hell because there are no hills near me at all ). Get over it and bring me a cold Diet Dr. Pepper with a straw. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
