My only complaint about Cobb is the congestion. When my family moved into our house 14 years ago, it was much less congested.

Now, whenever I'm home, I can't even run errands without feeling like I will die in traffic. The Avenue east Cobb was built about a mile from my house, and it's always so busy around that area now! But I can't complain. I love having a Gap, AE, Borders, Abercrombie, etc. all nearby.

Cobb County is a great place to live and raise a family, however. I graduated from the No. 1 public high school in Georgia!

I call it pop.

i call it coke (even though i may be referring to a dr. pepper).

well when ordering a drink at, i would say what i wanted. 'i want a dr. pepper.' when speaking to a co-worker, it is usually 'hey, you want to walk over to the coke machine and get a coke.' :D

It's always been pop to me.

I order what I want too. I'm not a big SODA (that is what its called) drinker to begin with but when I do order one I don't say: "I'd like a soda" I say "I'd like a Sprite". It makes more sense to me. If you came here and ordered a coke, that is exactly what you would get. People would think you were nuts if you complained later that you meant sprite.


oh and I can't help but giggle everytime I hear it referred to as pop. I asked my friend in Oregon why they call it that and his answer, "I don't know, I guess because that is the sound the can makes when you open it." I laughed for about an hour.

I think in the South, it's more like, "Hey, do you want a Coke?"

"Sure, what do you have?"

"I've got Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and Dr. Pepper."

"OK, I'll have a Sprite."

All types of sodas to me is coke. i was raised on coke.

LOL, nothing beats FULTON County with Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square. ;)

And I would vote for "pop". Ironically, I would eat grits with pop.
