I might add SKI to that list, as in the Kentucky Headhunters "get a slaw-burger, fries and a bottle of Ski, bring it on back to my baby and me" (or somesuch).

Ever wonder what Mountain Dew would taste like made from well water out of the back porch well???

BUt of course "pop" drinkers have never drank well water, either.

I grew up

Postby Pastor Gary » September 12th, 2008, 10:12 am

I grew up where people said "Let's go get a coke..." and then one ordered Dr. Pepper and the other Mountain Dew... not a "Coke™" in sight! :lol: That didn't make sense to me then, and doesn't now.

It is, generically, SODA. Who ever heard of a "Pop-jerk" or a "Coke-jerk"?

Coke, all the way baby... :)

I once ordered "sweet milk" in KY and the waitress was confused and thought I wanted goat's milk. :lol: Of course, whole milk is always "sweet milk" in the south.

Soda. Cuz that what it is. :)
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

If you say coke in our area - we take that to mean
Coca-cola.

If you ask for a coke in one of our restaurants -
you will either get a Coca-cola or the waitress
will tell you they only carry Pepsi products.

If you ask for a pop - you might get belted up
side the head! :lol:
We'd know you were a foreigner anyway!


We asked for a pop in Pa and the server said, "like, a lollipop?" :)

This is why I voted other. If I am getting a coke, then I say coke. If I am getting a dr pepper, I say dr pepper. I call it what it is.

Growing up in Chicago it was "pop." When I came to Texas I would ask for a "pop" and would get laughed at....I soon learned that all carbonated drinks were "Coke." I became an Iced Tea drinker. :wink:

I voted soda because I am used to calling a drink whatever it is "coke, Pepsi, sprite etc. so If I have multiple things I am offering I will ask "would you like a soda? we have such and such."
I really cant remember hearing someone say "pop" it sounds really different to me.
