  • If you wanted a coke or pepsi to drink would you ask for a _________?
    (A) soda pop
    (B) cola
    (C) pop
    (D) soda
    If you answered (C) pop, you must live near me! People not from the area think I'm a loon when I ask for a pop.

Hey! I know here in Baton Rouge (if not the rest of the South)...It's none of the above. Everybody I know always ask for coke. The drink could be a dr. pepper but we'll still ask for coke.

OH...and juniorgrrl--I gotta agree. The accents around Baton Rouge are very typically southern. You can definitely hear the twang when you talk to people around here. I guess that includes me since I was born and raised here!!!
