[Iggo]

10. I drink the cola drink.

And when I do, I order a cola. But I'm funny that way.

Around these parts (SoCal), it was a coke when I was a kid (60s and 70s), but somewhere between then and now it became a soda. I dunno what happened.

[texas1928]

[Orsino]

17. It's soda. Coke is only one of many, many varieties.

"Pop" always sounded silly and a bit childish to me. And I've never heard Coke used as the generic term for soda.

[texas1928]

29. Come here...

You will here this exchange.

Pepsi.

[Fox Mulder]

40. Okay...

Coke.

That doesn't make any sense. :shrug:

[texas1928]

43. exactly...

[yellowdogintexas]

49. even better: what kind? Orange nt

[fishwax]

38. out of curiosity, how long have you lived in Georgia?

Coke as the generic term is a southern thing, and while I haven't been to Georgia since I was a wee lad, I'd heard from others that such usage was even more common there than farther to the west (which made sense since Coke was centered in Atlanta).

[Dogtown]

58. Yes, it's a coke in GA

"Co'Cola" if you want "the real thing..."(tm)

[Fox Mulder]

33. It's pop.

End of story.

The answer is Coke.

[Critters2]

42. It's pop. Always has been. Always will be. nt

[JVS]

44. Let me make this perfectly clear

Pop


Soda. Seen here with brandy. Often seen with various types of whiskey. Answers to Seltzer when found alone but Whiskey and Seltzer is hard to pronounce audibly at a crowded and loud bar.


Coke.


Baking powder

[stuntcat]

45. I call it "drink"

:blush:

[BlueJazz]

46. Anybody who doesn't say "Soda" is simply uncivilized

[SCantiGOP]

47. It's coke

the same way a tissue is a kleenex, clear tape is scotch tape and a copy made by a machine is a xerox.

[bif]

50. Conclusion: People who say "pop" are much, much cooler

It says so right on the website. So there!

[qnr]

51. Not "Coke" for me, I can't think of many things that suck more than Coca-Cola n/t

fo a Coke and get Pepsi, arrrggghhh!!!!! It pisses me off.

[zippy890]

:P

[hedgehog]

56. OK - explain this one: as far as I know, there are two areas in the country

that prefix highways with "the"; THE 190, THE 290. Those two areas are Buffalo/Erie County and California. WHat's the connection?
