Y'all really don't know nothing about cocola do you?
And I am 60 years young and as far back as I can remember we all knew that if the sun is shining while it is raining, the devil is beating his wife. And if you take a silver fork and dig a small hole in the ground and put your ear
to the ground you can hear her hollerin'.

There are parts of the country (admittedly strange parts IMHO) that generically refer to carbonated beverages as "Cokes".neversleeps wrote:And what's the deal with Coke/soda/pop? If you ask for a Coke, you're asking for a particular brand of cola; if you ask for soda, you're asking for that bubbly water that goes great with scotch; if you ask for pop, then the response is, "Do you want, Coke, Sprite, Mountain Dew or Dr. Pepper?" So, OF COURSE, 'pop' is the correct answer.
Where I'm from "soda" is an icky carbonated water and not much else. Generically it was "pop".

I've lived Northeast Texas (I grew up on a farm in Canton, Texas and have lived almost all of my adult life in and around Dallas, Texas) all of my 54 years except for 2 years in Houston, Texas. What I wonder is where did the 5% Yankee come from?

Oh, no! Say it ain't so!Sleepless on LI wrote:Okay, Bill, cozy up to Neversleeps and let's see how that photo you sent me today REALLY looks in the updated online yearbook. Still say "Pop," do you???
Besides, you can't hold what I call it against me; I'm a crazy Canuck! (Not too crazy to escape to someplace with lower taxes and no snow!)

I must apologize as I have been preoccupied and thus remiss in updating my Minnesota pictorial essay.SLEEPYCD wrote:NEVERSLEEPS,
OK IF YOU ARE FROM THE MIDWEST, LIKE US, IT'S POP!!!!! HEY, I WANT TO SEE SOME MORE PICTURES FROM MINNESOTA. WHERE YOU BEEN???

As you can see from this shot, now that fall is upon us and it's in the 40's, we've packed away our shorts and are now wearing long pants. When it dips below freezing, we'll break out the long-sleeved shirts.

Where the heck is the Midwest? Hardly anybody speaks "Midwest"! Anyway, spent the first 28 years in Oklahoma, the next 25 years in Colorado. And any upper Midwest or Yankee would probably have come from my great-grandfathers.....who came from New York and Ohio.
And carbonated beverages of all types are called "COKE". No weirder than asking for a Kleenex instead of specifying a generic tissue.
