If you go to certain parts of Texas and you want a Mountain Dew, you need to ask for a Coke. Does that make any sense at all?!?!?!
No, it doesn't. But, when I was there, it seemed that everything was Coke. :dunno:

I say Coke.
People saying pop makes me want to stab them with a flagpole.

Aye. A few things annoy the piss out of me in Indiana... the HOOSIER (who's there? when you knock on a door. I shit you not, that's the only thing you'll ever hear.) state.
Everybody calling it pop.. and why the fuck does everybody play euchre? How do you play that? It barely makes sense. Anyway.

You know, of all the times that I've seen people play it...I still don't understand what the fucking point is. Tools.

You call it Corn, we call it Maize
It depends where I am at.
In the Us I call it carbonated corn syrup water
( most soft drink companies started using this in place of real sugar around 1990, remember New Coke?, When Coke Classic returned it had no sugar and only cheap corn syrup).
So what you get is a weak,slimy type beverage.
Maybe I'm old, I remember when a Hershey Bar was the size of a phonebook.
Corn syrup is a major contributer to the obesity problem in the USA.
Its in everything and the body can't process it well.
In Colombia I called it Gaseosa.

Coke is a cola. What about 7up, grape, orange, and other pops?
They're names are 7-Up, grape, orange, or whatever their names are. :thumbsup:
I've always said "soda." Only grandmas and grandpas say "Pop." Although, when I'm a bluehair I'll be saying "pop" so maybe I should start the conditioning process now.
Coca Cola is HQ'd in Atlanta, GA. I have no doubt that the "Coke" reference originates there on the map and "fans out" basically. Pepsi is HQ'd in White Plains, NY, I think, so that is why "soda" rules there.

Looks like the Canadians have their own version. It has always been Creme Soda or Sparberry or Coke, Coke Lite or Tab, Fanta Orange, Stoney Ginger Ale, Fanta Grape, Sprite etc in South Africa. Here in Ore gone it's Soda - as it shows on the map.
Good post - I wuz jus' thinking a similar thing today.

::laughs my fucking ass off:: facetious.. sense.. say it isn't so.. I thought they were sworn enemies. I see the alien has found ways to blend into society. ::does the secret alien handshake with face:: Welcome to earth! They accept you in superficial, pornographic and sugary ways now! YAYZ!
Ahem, so... fuck, what topic am I even on? Ah. Pop.. soda.. anyway, someone asked what we call other drinks here. Ya know what we call them by? Their names. Mountain dew is 'dew'. 7 up is never ordered. Sprite is woman drink. They want less of everything in their drinks, here. Calories.. carbs.. etc. Funny tho.. that the caffeine would actually help with their weight loss. Fat lards. Everything else isnt actually ordered by.. um.. how should I word this.. 'white people'. We dont drink 'orange drank'. Nor the grape drink that actually has no fruit juice. I'm sorry, but.. white people just dont do it. I shouldnt have to apologize but it might sound racist to say. (to some). It's sugarwater to the max. Worse than kool aid.
