one more thing...
It's Coke --- not "soda" or "pop"... Those are two of the most annoying words I hear coming out of the mouths of Yankees here in Atlanta. Like nails down a chalkboard to my poor little Southern ears.

I say BOO!!! I hate going to Tennessee to see my father and hearing, what kind of "coke" would you like? I say, "do you mean cherry, diet or regular coke?" "No, What kind of Coke would you like, sprite, coke, pepsi, mountain dew."
HELLO, Coke is the brand name of a SODA!!! It is not a word that replaces Soda or Pop. I'd go with pop before i went with coke.....
crazy southerners.....hahahahahahaah

Yeah, that southern "Coke" thing drives me nuts! But POP is only your dad if you're WT! Pop vs. soda as a drink varies, I swear, from county to county. It's not all of the north does one thing or all the west another. I've given up and started using "soft drink."

Yes indeed. As my sister has previously stated, it is COKE. Everything is coke if it is fizzy. Do away with your sordid northern ways!
Coke Coke Coke!
The LEAST OFFENSIVE alternative to coke is soft drink or cold drink. But NEVER pop or soda! Especially not pop!

My grandmother also calls it "sodie" (without the pop though). She's from Mississippi. Some folks from Minnesota calls soda "sodie" too.

Here in Texas everything is a "Coke." You order a coke, waiter asks what kind, you then say Dr. Pepper or Pepsi, whatever.
I am a minority here, obviously, because I call it SODA!!

Listen smartass . . .
How is pop wrong?
The word is "Soda-pop" - I use the last part, which has a sorta ring to it, and everyone else uses the first, which I guess is ok, but doesn't nearly sound as cool and probably is indicative of far-reaching mental illness.
Every time I slip out here in boston, and ask for a pop, they think I'm talking about weed - "A pot machine? what the hell is that?"
And coke is just plain wrong - you don't ask for Crest when you want Aquafresh, right?
(that's the worst example ever - whatever)

Even though I'm Chicago born and bred, "pop" makes my skin crawl. "Soda" just sounds so much nicer. C'mon, say it with me - "Sooooda." Maybe it's the way some midwesterns pronounce "o"s that bothers me - it comes out sounding like "pAHp." Bleh!
