I'm still suprised that, apparently, there are places where they use a particular brand name as the generic term for "soft drink."

the south and specifically Texas....anything carbonated is a Coke...even if it is a Pepsi. So if you are down here visiting and someone askes "Do you want a Coke?" dont' be surprised if they say "We got Dr Pepper and Sprite which one you want?"

Taht is so true. Everything is coke!
What kind of coke do ya want? I'll have a sprite, orange etc.
I remember my first trip to Chicago when I was in college. I went to a McDonalds and the lady asked me what kind of "pop" I wanted. I had no idea what she was talking about! :laugh:

When I was little still in NJ, I remember all soda was called coke there too. Same thing, if you ordered a coke they said what kind?

Well, we try to curtail any aggression against those who are not enlightened in the ways of southern etiquette! ;D
Sometimes we are even successful! :laugh:
