Word that begins with X say what...


Sometimes life is so chaotic that you have to stop and slow down so it doesn't pass you by. 
Me: Can I have a coke?
Waiter: Sure what Kind?

Here in Texas we call everythin' Coke. The only time you say a specific brand is when you want a Dr Pepper. And you never put a period after the r.
I love spendin' time down by the lake at lunch enjoyin' this heavenly drink.

What do y'all call fountain drinks?


How was your Monday?

  4. My family only drinks Diet Coke and we've always just called it a coke. It's so fascinating how people's vocabularies are so different. Stopping by from #‎tribedare‬

  9. We all call it coke as well. :-) Soda could be used, I guess. And tonic is what you mix with gin. ;-) Visiting from the Not-a-Mom blogger FB group. :-) Cheers!

  10. The lake looks beautiful! Here in New Jersey, we call it "soda." I always order a Coke -- but that's when the waiter sometimes says, "We have Pepsi. Is that OK?"
