She's been giving me a hard time for years about saying "pop" instead of calling all soda "coke" like a good Texan should
Now there's demographic info to back her up click here for the map

Thanks to Texas Confederate for the link
I told her you can't spend 15 years (THANKS DAD) wandering in the Yankee wilderness (eastern Ohio - where some know God but few know the Cowboys) and come back unscathed.
I have taken to calling it "sodie water" after I heard a few old timers in Yancy, TX use the term.
It helps to hide the Yankee taint I carry
I'm glad I'm back in the land of cotton ......

I always called it "coke" also until I met Cedric then I started calling it soda because I got tired of him always buying me coke even though he knew I prefered Dr. Pepper. My Granny use to call it "soda water" though. She is from a small Texas town.

ReplyDeleteThe correct terminology for carbonated beverages such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, etc., is soda. Just thought ya'll should know.
