DZBone 0 #26 December 16, 2002 QuoteDidn't that die along with Tab? Heh, last I knew, you could still get Tab in some places. My step-mother-in-law practically lived on the stuff (her tawnic). She would source it like a junkie sourcing heroin. She had people who would get it for her because they lived near a store that carried it, or she would see it while they were travelling somewhere and buy cases of it to store up, just in case. Now were is my Pepsi Light (the original lemon Pepsi), that's what I want to know! _________________________________________________ If you hadn't read this, would it have made a sound?

mouth 0 #34 December 16, 2002 I'm with you Dave. Here in GA we call everything COKE because it is bottled here I guess. Even Orange or Grape drinks are called Coke. The first time someone said to me "I'll have a pop" I laughed and told them they really didn't want me to hit them! -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

jfields 0 #36 December 16, 2002 Quote Coke. It doesn't matter what brand it is, what flavor it is, its a coke. i.e. "Hey, what kind of coke do you want?" "I'll have a diet pepsi, thanks..." Ah. The power of advertising. Undoubtedly, a bunch of (Yankee) advertising executives are drooling right now about how their mind control techniques have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Coke. Pepsi. Soda. Pop. Cola. It doesn't make a difference what you call it. It all rots your teeth and makes you fat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f1freak 0 #46 December 16, 2002 I grew up hearing only "pop" for a carbonated beverage. I always knew that the proper name was actually "soda pop", and "pop" was a shortened form of this. Occasionally I would read the word "soda" for what I called pop, and it sounded hopelessly old-fashioned to me, just like when my first grade teacheer called boots "galoshes" and coats "wraps" and the bathroom the "lavatory". All those words, including "soda" just sounded completely out of touch with the 20th century. It would be like hearing someone say "horsless carriage" for car. By the way, does anyone out there want to start a page on the "lunch vs dinner vs supper" debate? If you're from the rural Midwest, you must know what I'm talking about.HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottbre 0 #47 December 16, 2002 My understanding is that people from Texas and California call it "Coke", people from Ohio and Michigan call it "pop" and everyone else (the normal people) call it "soda". The default for national marketing campaigns is generally "soda". "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #49 December 16, 2002 Where I am from, everything is "Coke". A typical exchange goes like this: "Want a Coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Doctor Pepper!" Another similar, funny thing still sticks in my mind from a trip I took a long time ago to an out-of-town four wheel drive shop (to buy a new set of 44 inch TSL super swampers): Me and a buddy were sitting in this little hole-in-the-wall diner in bum-fuck, North Carolina (actually New London) and we are ordering food, waiting for the 4WD shop to open. I ask the waitress what kind of chips she has and she tells me (with a Marlboro hangin out the side of her mouth) "tater chips". I shit you not, I thought I was going to fall on the floor.
