Adventures in moving out of my comfort zone.
I grew up in Atlanta but i say soda. The girls say soda with me, Mike calls it Coke. He's from Waycross, Ga.
I thought everybody from Atlanta (the birthplace of Coca Cola) called it coke!
I call it coke. I learned my dialect in Dallas. (or however they put that.) They concluded that people that say "pop" are cooler? "Pop" is not cool.
i know... im weird. i think i say soda because when i tell my kids "no you can't have ......" i want to be all inclusive. "No coke, pepsi, dr. pepper, mtn. dew, etc... NO SODA!"my dad (who still lives in atlanta) says coke!
I grew us in Eastern Kentucky and we always said "pop". Coke was a brand, just like Pepsi was. However, now I typically say soft drink. I refuse to say "Soda" because when I was growing up, only weird people said "soda"...Sorry Amy :(
I grew up in Texas..it's all coke.
"Do you want a coke?" "Yeah, bring me a sprite."This is how I grew up and sounds like one of the many conversations I had.Folks in southern Indiana always said coke.
Growing up in Dallas, everything was Coke EXCEPT the king of all soft drinks-Dr. Pepper!
Never heard anyone truly from the south use "soda" or worse-yet "pop". Coke it is.
It's Coke
