I'm from Texas; no such thing as "pop" down here!!

[RebelDarlin]

I call it Dr. Pepper.


Me Too!!!

From Wikipedia...

In the mid-western United States, a soft drink with ice cream added is most often called an "ice cream soda," or soda, for short as they were made at soda fountains.

You beat me to it. I thought, "What the HECK is pop?" :P

It is actually called coke. :P You can have a cooler full of cokes, but there are different brands of cokes. Just sayin. :P :lol:

[silvan]

I call it Dr. Pepper.Me three. The only one that doesn't taste like rat piss.

But I'd call it a "soda" or a "cola" but never "pop." "Pop" is probably the more common term here where I grew up, but I intensely despise the term for reasons relating to the nature of my miserable childhood as a geek at a time when anybody who knew anything about a computer was automatically gay, and needed daily beatings.

I have called them both. Except when we go to the south where you order a "coke" and when the waitress ask you what kind of coke you want then you can specify orange, coke, 7 up, rootbeer or whatnot.

A point well worth making, Jackrabbit!!

You are correct; down here, south of The Mason-Dixon Line, (in Texas, that means south of Dallas/Ft. Worth....anything north of that means your a Yankee!!) a cooler or ice chest filled with "Cokes" is akin to having a cooler or Ice Chest full of beer.

Very common in a Texans conversation:

"Whudduya got in the chest??"

(Reply) ........"Cokes"

"Oh yeah?? Whut KINDDUH Cokes ya'gott??"

[Jackrabbit379]

Very well said, Useless. 8) :lol:

I'm from FL we say gimme a soda. I have heard people say "soda pop, soda water, and drink."

[MADLUX]

what the heck is " pop" 8)

[Ironturkey]

Sodapop

[yoopr]

It's regional-up here it's called Pop

[RedRaven]

Soda...
But, in some near by towns, they call it "Tonic"... :wink:

[Ridge Runner]

I just thought of one I haven't heard in years. My Grandma use to call "Coke", a dope. A lot of folks here in the south use to call them that. ( She would be 112 years old now).

Do not forget in Boston they call it Tonic.

[madpuppy]

I 8) call it Soda 8)

[greg3564]

I call it Dr. Pepper.

Spoken like a true man! Dr. Pepper is the king and I have paid homage to the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco, TX. Next time any of you drivers are going through Waco on I-35, it's located about 3/4 of a mile west of the highway. There are some industrial areas around there that you can park and walk over to it.

[greg3564]

Oh yeah, I do sometimes call it a fountain drink. :D

[Colts Fan]

Soft drinks. I don't touch that crap though. I stick with good ole water. And beer on the weekends. 8)

[nrvsreck]

I thought it was sody-water. I knew a trucker from south Georgia that always called it that. I call it Coke. Everything is Coke, including Pepsi.

[inmate1577]

I call it "crap" :lol:

[Twilight Flyer]

Soda.

And yes, Dr. Pepper leaves the rest in the dust.

Best Dr. Pepper to have though is one cold can over 2 or 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Dr. Pepper float = taste bud heaven. :D

[nrvsreck]

I call it "crap" :lol:

That's a good description. Unless it's mixed with a bit of fine Tennessee sippin' whiskey! :wink:

Hey, TF, how do you keep your superhero figure eating Dr. Pepper ice cream floats? :shock:

[Twilight Flyer]

I chase my wife. :twisted:

[Ridge Runner]

I chase my wife. :twisted:


Judging from the size of your family, looks like you caught her a few times too. :P

[Doctor Who]

Ya think she had it planned that way??? :P :lol:

[Twilight Flyer]

Damn good exercise, let me tell ya. :twisted:

[Doctor Who]

Soda.

DR. PEPPER---------UGH!!!!

Horrible visions of a very old commercial starriing Dick Clark saying to try that AWFUL tasting brew hot...

Damn good exercise, let me tell ya.

What, the chase or, what came after???? :P

[Twilight Flyer]

What, the chase or, what came after????

Both.

That's why I can have Dr. Pepper floats. Of course, if I am out of Dr. Pepper, a Coke float fits the bill nicely.

[BIG JEEP on 44's]

I was born and raised in New York ,and on the East Coast we call it Soda ...When I moved out west to Colorado everyone out here calls it a pop... :wink:
