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. |

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??" |
