It Is All Coke To Me

[John Henry]

Interesting how different regions of the country refer to soft drinks. Where I was raised everything was coke. It could be Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper or Nehi Peach but we call it coke.

When I was in school in Kentucky it was "pop". I lived a short time in Eastern North Carolina and they called all soft drinks dope. Here is an interesting article as to why and a map of the U.S. showing what regions call the drink.

Always been coke to me. If someone asked what I wanted, I said, any kind of coke.

Nobody with a brain actually calls a Sprite, a Dr. Pepper, or a Pepsi a Coke. That’s ridiculous and makes the south look stupid.

‘Can I have a Coke?”
“Sure.”
“No, sweetie. I wanted one of them clear cokes with lemon lime”

GTFOH

I've always referred to any soft drink as a coke.

And I have a brain. That works.

If you order a coke you sure as hell will not receive a Sprite, Dr Pepper, Tab, Mt Dew, Mellow Yellow, Slice, Big Red, Big K or a Pepsi. You are getting a f'n coke.

No, you haven’t. If you’ve wanted something besides a Coke (or Pepsi, I’ll give you that) you asked for it by name.

 

[jwheat]

Coke is more a general term to me but I prefer most coke products over Pepsi products anyway


Edit: I’ve never once referred to them as a “soda”or a “pop”. My mother who is originally from the Detroit area occasionally slips out a “pop”

 

[Elbridge]

I'm out.

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

I grew up saying “soft drink”. Thought people who said “soda” were ******.

RC is best. Less sugar than coke or pepsi. Much better

 

[funKYcat75]

Do you mean?

[BBUK_anon]

Yuse three quarters a fool...

May still be...

If I want a Coke, or any other drink, that's what I ask for. Also, if it's not a Kleenex then I call it a tissue.

[buckethead1978]

Coke/Pepsi are interchangeable to me. They do not refer to sprite, Mountain Dew or others.


RC Cola was on the same tier as Chek or Big K.

Huh?

 

[KyCatFan_rivals45723]

For me it's always been Coke for Coke, Sprite for Sprite, Mt. Dew for Mt. Dew, Big Red for Big Red, etc. I ask for Coke and if they have Pepsi products (can't stand Pepsi) I switch to a Sierra Mist or Mist Twist (whatever they call it now). Only Pepsi product I can stand. Most of Pepsi's products taste like cheap knockoffs of Coke brands. Mt. Dew is their only original brand that is probably better than the competitors, but I'm not a fan of it.

I say soda. When I'm feeling cute, I say Soe-dah like a yankee. Calling everything a Coke has some serious redneck connotations for me.

I also avoid use of the the word "y'all" for much of the same reasons.

[Kaizer Sosay]

I usually refer to it as coke.

But sometimes...when in the company of strippers or dealers...I call it "blow"...you know, mainly so I sound more cool and ish...but also because I don't want them to think I'm five-oh.

 

[UKGrad93]

Cola

It was always “soft drink” when I was growing up. (Some will say I’ve never grown up)

 

[TriangleUKCat]

In France, we called it "cancer"

I call everything ****. Your ****, my ****, good ****, bad ****, this ****, that ****, etc... everything. I've got no time for elitist ******** lingo.

I call sugary carbonated drinks Coke in general when dumb MFers don't know ****.

If exact precision is required, I specify the brand of **** I want.

Well, it's all ball-bearings to me

Let me explain how it works. You get a "pop" out of your fridge, brand doesn't matter. You're out in a country store, you yell at your friend, "hey, you want a pop?" He gets what you pick out unless he specifies a specific brand.

If you're at Texas Roadhouse and want a Mt Dew, that's what you order, not Coke, unless you want Coke.
