turtlespeed 226 #51 July 9, 2004 QuoteQuoteIt's coke, damnit . . . even if it's Pepsi (yuck, by the way). Kelly See, 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." If you're talking about carbonated beverages, they are "sodas." Seltzer is not "soda," either. Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, 7-Up, Dr. Pepper -- those are all sodas. They are sure as hell not all "Cokes." To claim that they are is to try to legitimize a long-ago-made-error, which through repeated (mis)use became the norm in some (backwards) areas. Ugh. Besides, Coke sucks. Pepsi rocks! - High Five!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
turtlespeed 226 #52 July 9, 2004 QuoteCoke, its called Coke. I don't care if the can says "Pepsi" you still call the fucking thing a Coke! But if it's a Mt. Dew - or a Dr. Pepper? Huh Huh Huh - Mt. Dews familiar name is DEW JUICE - get it right Pepsi is allowed to be called Coke - only because Pepsi sucks and people here won't drink it if they know what it is - so you have to lie. Dr. Pepper is the best - so it gets it's own name - people may try to copy it - but Mr. Pibb still needs to go finish his medical school.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
