"I'll have a coke!"

"What kind?"

"Dr. Pepper!"

 

[Everskyward]

I grew up calling it "soda" and when I moved to Colorado I made fun of the people who called it "pop". But now I've been assimilated...

Being a CO native myself I've never used or heard it called "pop", always "soda"

Diabetic death.... Knowing how much soda pop I drank before my diagnoses, I'm confident the excessiveness of my consumption is what narfed my beta cells.

 

[timwinters]

"Soda" now, but I grew up in an area that called it "soda pop"...an option that's not there...just like "coke" isn't there.

Boooooooooogus poll!

I see you are from COS. Maybe it's a Denver thing.

 

[pilot_dude]

Coke, regardless of flavor or manufacturer

 

[JeffDG]

Fizzy stuff? I call that "Beer"

 

[timwinters]

No, that's a "barley pop".

 

[Seanaldinho]

You answer a series of questions, and it places where you're from based on how you speak. I got Oakland, CA as one of mine, but I'm from the DC area, and the other two it suggested were Baltimore, MD and Arlington, VA. I'm pretty impressed.

Grew up where it was pop. Live where everything is a coke.

 

[Sac Arrow]

Out West we call them soft drinks. I'm used to Soda Pop though.

 

[JB1842]

Grew up on pop. Now I call it soda.

I ussaly call it pop because I grew up in Minnesota. Now that I have been doing alot in Missouri I have been call it soda also.
Sad part is when I am in Minnesota I call it soda and when I am in Missouri I call it pop. So people are always harassing me

The Coke thing in Texas did get me the first time I was there and I ordered a Coke.

 

[Badger]

of course I also drink from a bubbler

Is that the "special hug" Hugh Hefner's girls give him?

+1. I grew up in SoCal, and "soft drink" was the operative term. The poll needs that option.

Here in the Northwest, though, it's "pop".

 

[Busflyer]

In the south, coke

 

[marcoseddi]

"I'll have a coke!"

[Fearless Tower]

Spoken like a true Texan!

I'll never forget the first time I was asked "what kind of Coke ya'll want?"

 

[Anymouse]
