Oldie but goldie.
Around these parts we call everything a coke!
It's POP damnit!
I'm sure I've asked this before but I've forgotten the answer so remind me: In areas where you call soda "coke", how do you specify that you want a coke?
In my experience, you say "I'll take a coke." and they say "Sure. What kind?" lol
And then you say "A coke dammit!"
But really, do you say Cola instead? Or do you have to say Coca-Cola? Or maybe coke-coke! What do they do!
Coke or Pepsi?
That's a totally different discussion! Though I'll drink either.
Canned drink in Indonesia.
Toronto is pop.
It was always "pop" while growing up. But now that I'm better traveled and so much more sophisticated, it's "soda" :P
lol well I grew up in Ohio, and we called it pop. Even at the grocery store, the aisle sign said "Pop" ;) I moved to Japan, then to SC and then to Florida and I still call it pop, and my kids call it pop so NYA :P (Much to their daddy's dismay! heehee)
It's "boisson gazeuse" in French (carbonated drink), but they almost always just say "soda".
I grew up with everything being called "coke" too, even pepsi or mountain dew or anything from a soda fountain, basically. if you actually wanted coca cola, you had to clarify by saying you wanted a "coke coke" ;)
Yeah, Suji knows what I mean.
It's funny though, when I went to Phoenix on a band trip, a girl at a concession stand actually said "coke" too. Usually it's the South where that term is prevalent, from what I've seen.
Soda doesn't really bug me, but "pop"... *shudder*
What's that? I couldn't hear you... I was opening my can of pop.
*steals your can of coke*

The lines have been drawn!
Oh, wow! My whole state is solid blue! Well, except for a little green... since blue equals "pop" and I say "soda", that means that I am such a unique snowflake! :P
Now what do you call your hats? http://waywordradio.org/great-knitted-hat-survey.html (http://waywordradio.org/great-knitted-hat-survey.html)
Trust an engineer to turn this into something infinitely more complicated...
;p
I think I'd call those all beanies but I'm definitely too lazy to make sure!
