Pepsi!

I'm very familiar with the old SNL skit, but didn't know it was based on this place.

thanks!

one of my favorites

I wonder if anyone has ever gone through that whole thing to make sure they were all on the same page?

and they got it right ...me on the other hand it would be nothing but gag reels

Live performance too.

to do something like that in front of an audience is pretty much WOW inducing.

People made fun of me when I called it that on the East Coast.

In Oregon I mostly hear "soda."

Coke refers only to the specific brand. All Coke is pop, but only a small percentage of pop is Coke.

We have the local brand, Faygo. Heretic that I am, I think it's not the best, especially their diet cola. Blech. Tastes like dust.

Nothing to discuss, it is my preferred word.

Soda = Pop
However, not all Soda/Pop are Cokes.

It's only a Coke if it's an actual Coca-Cola.

Water Fountain or Bubbler?

Go figure.

We've talked about Connecticut.

And the name "KamaAina" comes from Hawai'i. I've been around.

infested with Boston fans.

Except for the Dallas Cowboys fan that lived in Fairfield County for 20 years. Yeah, it was really fun watching the DALLAS COWBOYS win three Super Bowls while living in CT. Too bad one of those didn't come while I lived in Maryland!!

At least in Texas.

And then, if needed, got more specific about what kind of coke. Even unto pepsi products - if it was carbonated, it was a coke until we needed to know if you wanted a Mountain Dew or a Sprite or a Dr Pepper. (OR a Mr. Pibb. We didn't associate with people who liked Mr Pibb though. Them cats was weird.)

I lived in Dallas from 2nd grade until a few years after graduating high school. I did have a boss once who was from Colorado and we laughed at him because he called it "pop". He had it comin' what with his Broncos worship and all.

it depends on the area. I call it soda.

I go with Sprite.

Otherwise, coffee (black), tea (black) or skim milk.

has been soda for 30+ years (northeast)... but in reality never touch the stuff... unless I have a migraine; and then it's coke

Midwest here, usually pop, if I'm feeling particularly bubbly I will say soda pop.

Peace

here in Florida. Pop is my father and Coke is just one brand of soda, or better know down here as Cocola.

Pop is your dad, coke is a brand. This is an eastern thing, I think you'll find midwesterners say pop

It's what we drink in Chicago.

Now it's soda.

ice cream with carbonated water mixed in. Coke is a specific brand of pop.

want some coke?
want some pepsi?
want orange crush?
want some root beer?

I grew up in chicago and ohio and didn't run into the distinctions until i was in the navy.

Real culture shock moving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. Two entirely different vocabularies. My grandmother asked me if I wanted a soda, and I replied "Yes, strawberry."

Never lived in the land of Coke.
