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. |

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: |

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.

Just sayin. :P :lol: 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??" |
Very well said, Useless. 8) :lol:
