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

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??"

[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]
