When I was fourteen, I had the tragic circumstances of having spent about 48 hours in Kentucky. It was there that I encountered this particular strain of stupidity, where they refer to every type of soda as Coke. It still annoys me 26 years later. For about a thousand different reasons, I think all of the Coke states should secede from the union.
Megabooks Hey, just posted on your last one. Yeah, in KY, we call it all Coke, but we usually ask you what kind you want, and it‘s okay to say Pepsi, unlike GA, where you get dirty looks for the P-word! (edited) 5y
Megabooks I hope you know the above was written while laughing!! 🤣🤣 5y
megnews I went to Cedar Point with some visiting Southerners once. They ordered “Coke” and looked puzzle went they got a coke when they wanted Orange pop. I guess servers must have to ask what kind of Coke you want. 5y

keithmalek @megnews Yeah, that's what they do. So the conversation goes like this: "What kind of Coke do you want?" "Pepsi." And they somehow think nothing g of it. #HeadExploding 5y
LauraBeth Georgia girl here: dang - not everyone living in a Coke state who says Coke is bad! 5y
megnews @LauraBeth I know! I just never understand using a brand name to call the entire category. For instance, it kind of drives me batty to hear someone call every brand of diapers Pampers. 5y
KimM All iced tea is sweetened in the Coke states. You have to specifically ask for unsweetened. 😉 5y
KarouBlue Hahaha. Im from Oklahoma - where Coke is coke and everything else is a Sodapop Curtis! 5y
