I say soft drink generally if I don’t want a coke. However, since I drink Coke so much that is still pretty rare. I drink Coke even more than beer.
I could understand Soda, but these Pop heathens must be dealt with. True Texans call it coke, even though I drink pepsi, though many texans drink that disgusting dr pepper stuff.
Also, ever notice how there’s no period after dr? Same thing with Mr pipp. What this means exactly, I know not. I am sure however, that this Punctuational Title Conspiracy does not bode well for us ordinary men.
I’ll admit that I have some suspicions about people who actually prefer Pepsi. Not the kind of thing you want to admit to publicly. Of course I am no Dr Pepper fan, except from the original bottler. The real sugar makes a real difference. Of course mr pipp is really Mr Pibb, but we aren’t sticklers about such mistakes around here.
Such is my disdain for titular cokes.
I thought it was a “co’cola”?
For black folks in Baton Rouge it doesn’t matter what brand it is, it’s a “cold drink.” Or at least it was.
And look, there’s a big purple dot on Baton Rouge! Scientists are amazing.
