Shm. Smh. The fucking people who call all sodas "coke".

Them: What kind of Ford do you drive? Me: a Chevy.

Stupid shit like this hits hard to some folks in the south. I have family members are pissed how "everything is changing", so much in fact that this very thing caused a disturbance at a local college pub. Last year, one of my dumbass family members was thrown out for being rude. When I asked him what happened he said...

" That god damn Yankee girl wanted to know if I wanted a fucking pop. What the fuck is a pop? So I asked her. She said something like a soda or whatever and I told her, it's a fucking coke and she needs to go back to fucking Chicago and get fucked. Don't bring your stupid shit down here."

Even more f'd up, is he would have ordered a Sprite.

I dislike a few of my relatives.

Calling it soda, good. Calling it pop, fine. Calling every soft drink a coke, fuck off.

Soda is an always has been the right term, but the people who say "coke" to mean any soda are the most wrongest people in history

Inshallah the South will no longer be a walking advertisement for coca cola 🙏

Soda: the correct way to say it
Coke: a specific brand, but I'm all for genericization
Pop: why are you calling a soft drink daddy?

The south is emphatically wrong on so much shit but calling soda/pop "coke" is somehow at the top of my list

Call all ice cream vanilla, or all cereal corn flakes, or all alcohol beer why the fuck not

We call it pop up in Canada so I'm rooting for that, but I will accept some loss of territory if it helps eliminate the coke people.

That explains my confusion on why I always got told that people in the south call it all coke, but when growing up, I always heard just called soda; I grew up in NC, which is considered a southern state, but appears to have been completely taken over by the soda side at this point.

These are always so weird to me. I grew up in the rural south, and I’ve never once heard Coke used to describe soft drinks generically. In my experience when someone asks for a “coke” they specifically mean Coca Cola and would be pissed if they got something else.

they are cutting down all the forest :c

I like how it has really vague boundaries that are obviously approximate but then it pretends to do precise gerrymandering-type carveouts in the second map

as a non-american, the only term i'll ever accept is "sodipop"

Pop is slang, coke is a brand, soda is the read deal. You used to go to a business that had a soda fountain. SODA

Anyone that says pop is wrong, is wrong

The south: all soft drinks are Coca-Cola. We don't have anything else.

Rise up, sodarians! The only thing you have to lose is your pop.

Lived in Quebec, Canada up until recently. My family called it coke.

Never underestimate the pincer attack from the coasts

The rest of the world: Order what the fuck you actually want instead of adding a layer of needless obfuscation.

I really want coke to be more common as referring to soda pop on general because I want to see Coca Cola freak out as they lose the trademark to genericization.

thanks obummer

I’ve heard that if you order a “Coke” in the area that says “Coke”, they’ll just give you a random soda and you have to drink it no matter what it is. That just seems plain wrong to me.

I had friends from the south and would ask me if I wanted a coke, but would bring everything but a coke.

And we still say pop in the PNW.

Why is everyone arguing about shitty intra-US pronunciation differences

In Homestuck form: the Fizzcourse.

Palestine/Israel 1947 borders vs today.

Wanna know what we call it in Germany? "limonade"

For those of you who do not understand calling it coke: where do you put your soda / pop to keep it cold? A refrigerator or an ice box?

It's all faygo if we're being fair.

SODAAAA!!!

Good.

I guess Dallas is the little bubble in Texas that uses soda. I've traveled pretty extensively through "coke" country and have yet to actually hear it.

I do remember some of the adults calling it pop when I was a kid in California. I seem to recall that pop/soda were almost interchangeable.

SODA!!!

Permanently Deleted

2079: Buffalo has the most temperate climate on the planet and still calls Pop by it's proper name.

What about the small blasphemous region calling it soda pop?

Pop? What the fu..??

if you look closely there is a very tiny dot in the pnw where one person unironcially calls is "sodey"

We are legion

I say "cola" if it is a cola type drink, and soda if it isn't. Raised in the Midwest for background.

I miss saying pop

where's soda pop

This is great news!

How funny would it be if one state was completely colored red and it was "but of the old sweet and bubbly" or some shit.

Soft drinks ppl have been exterminated. 1 down...

Source of the data?

Canada has your back. It's not nearly as grim as it seems. We can fight for the world we deserve and win

Where is "soft drink" on this map?

The correct term is obviously "beer"

St. Louis in 1947, We're Different from CHICAGO we're calling it SODA!

"I get a coke. I get a coca-cola. I'm sorry, okay? I say I'll get a coke. Then there's these people out there, and maybe there's some here tonight... they say "I like Pepsi! HUH?!"

Woah, I grew up in Portland, do they really call it soda there now? That's wild.

everyone knows it's fizzy juice
