So many of my Northern friends have been confused by the whole calling every soft drink a Coke fun!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, yes!
DeleteThat would throw me for a loop! Where I live we call all carbonated beverages "pop."
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I love the angles.
Hahaha. I just can't get behind calling it pop. Why? Where does that come from?
DeleteWe call all of it POP as well! (My whole life) Raised in MS, now live in TX.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Interesting indeed
DeleteMy 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
ReplyDeleteI've always called it soda but my calls it pop. When we lived in Texas we noticed everything was called Coke haha. They do the same thing in Europe!
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe Europe isn't so bad after all.
DeleteI've always called it soda (here in New England), but when I lived in Alaska we called it pop! :)

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?"
ReplyDeleteI am from Texas and know exactly what you mean.
ReplyDeleteno period after Dr.???? ahhhhh!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just looked up the logo - I never noticed that before. Still don't like it.
DeleteI am from MS. I know people that said Coke for everything but never did myself. I just said specifically what it is called.
ReplyDeleteI say Coke far more than I should
