Waitress: "What kind? We have coke, diet coke, dr pepper, 7-up and orange."

There are two ways to say it:

1) You can call it Pop

2) Or you can say it another way and be  wrong!

We tend to use "soda" in the Navy as a neutral term..and you can see it's "soda" in the tidewater area (biggest Naval consentration in the world)

But back home it's all COKE !

Its really quite simple.

Soda is a generic term for all flavored carbonated drinks.

Coke(tm) , Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Orange Crush, Mountain Dew

Are all types of Soda.

Coke is Coca-Cola. Period end of story.

Coke is NOT  Pepsi, Orange Crush or any of the other aformentioned brands.

 a Pop is frozen flavored sugar water on a stick.
OR  something you do to a cherr..... oh nevermind

Actually Pop is another generic term for soda.
Typically called Pop by hicks because of the sound the old style bottles used to make when you "popped" the cap off

Plus its much easier to say since most only have one tooth

And to say "soda" would sound like "Thoda"

so they say "Pop"
:)

In Texas it's all Coke. There are different flavors, Dr.Pepper, Orange, Sprite, ect., but you must specify or you will get Coke-Cola. That's what my Granddad taught me when I was a wee lad.

In Houston, it's Coke for Cola.

In Pittsburgh, Pop is for Cola, and Soda is restricted to the unflavored carbonated water.

OK, so yeah, I live in Arkansas, so maybe this wont be much of a suprise, but ....True Story:

I was workin with a kid just out of high school here, and it was a hot day, I says," I'm gonna grab a soda....you want a Coke?"

He reaches for change and says, "yeah"

So, jokin around I ask, "what kind?"

He looks up, says,

"Dr. Pepper"
:p

Oh, a map!  Yeah, I'm in one of those 80-100% coke counties

It's funny when people order a (whatever alcohol) and soda and they wanted coke.  OK, wherever you are from in the world, in a bar......SODA is soda water and COKE is a cola type beverage.

Also,  Coke is now legally a proper generic term.  How many of you have been to a restaurant and ordered a coke only to have the server say, "is pepsi ok?"
Coke is now like Xerox, Kleenex, and Crescent wrench.

 Dad.............."Son hand me the Crescent wrench"
SON.............."Dad,  all I have is a generic adjustable wrench, is that ok?"

So, what happens when you been to places in the US ranging from Georgia to Washington state - and you always only heard Soda-Pop?

Does that make the entire map completely ****ing useless and retarded, and all of you for arguing over it the same? Yes, yes it does.

Totally, yeah.... This map suprised the hell out of me. I've spent time in almost every state, and they all say "soda".

Seeing all that blue on the map indicating "pop" doesn't add up...

Do you know what would be cool though?

Take this map into Photoshop.

Overlay it onto the map showing the Rep/Dem 2000 election results.

Then take all that, and overlay it onto the map showing the satelite shot of areas lit up at night.

And draw your own conclusions.

Unflavored Soda is Seltzer water
Unless your in a bar

Didnt Dr pepper used to be made from all the leftover soda flavors?

I seem to remember hearingt ht when I was a kid back in the 60's.

Also seemed a bit of a crapshoot as to what it would taste more like Cola or Cherry whenever you bought one

tapa...I thaught the Generic term (for copyright purposes) was Cola....I allways hear/see those adds "try a bicadi and cola"

I allways thaught it wierd because in a bar you order a bicardi and coke.....

Reminds me of super troopers

Farve:  And I'd like a liter of cola

Clerk:  a what?

Farve:  A liter of cola!

Clerk (over intercom): do we have liters of cola?

ahh nope.

i actually did a research paper on Dr Pepper in college LOL.


it was first made in 1885, in waco texas. there is a debate between coke and dr pepper as to who was the first... but they generally are the same age. the oldest soda brand in the usa.

dr pepper recipe has 23 different flavors in it, all "secret". the recipe has been mostly untouched from the begining.

Lol, thats great.  Someone actually took the time to study this?
I used to live in the pop part of PA, and moved to the soda part.  There is a guy a couple years older than me from the same hometown that moved here also.

His first job in this area was for the beer distributor.  While making deliveries, he goes in to this place of business, and says "I have your pop out here".  The lady was completely confused as to who he was and why he had her father outside lol.

And the waitress says, "Thanks honey."

Post by: jonnyb on August 27, 2004, 10:57:54 AM
I had the C2...tastes just like Pepsi.  So, you want to know the proper names?  I was a bartender for many years, in many parts of the country.  Here is the proper usage:

The proper generic term is "soft drink."  Soda is soda water.  Tonic is tonic water.  Pop is not valid.  If you order a bacardi and coke, you get a bacardi and coke, unless the bar serves pepsi products, in which case the bartender *must* ask you if a pepsi substitution is acceptable.  The same holds true for 7Up/Sprite.

Cola is the generic term for "dark" soft drinks (aka coke, pepsi, rc, etc) with the exception of Dr. Pepper and its substitutes.

To quote Eddie Murphy pretending he's Richard Pryor:

Have a Coke and a smile and stfu :)
