Get ready, because I'm about to blow your mind

It just sounds completely ridiculous for an adult to use the term “pop” up in these parts…

So I started due to the wife being from the Midwest…

I still chuckle a little whenever I say it and see the reaction.

What are the "other" names?

 

[snickerd3]

apparently when I call it pop in my Chicago accent it still confuses some people here in central IL.

I still don't know what a chicago accent is, but have been told on many occassions I have one.

A coworker in north Florida told me after a year there that I’d lost my Michigan accent. I didn’t know that I had an accent… or that I had lost it.

a Chicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaago accent huh?

I am a soda only guy up here in the very green state of Oregon. But lots of people call it pop, to me you just sound like you are an 8 year old when you do.

I never here much coke ever, unless they from somewhere else, which is getting very common here in Portland....

See the aforementioned refernce to "tonic". I grew up in the Boston area and that's what we called it.

If ordering in a resteraunt I usually say "Give me a Coke or Pepsi", that way I cover both brand names.

Yup, at a restaurant, I always say "Coke, Pepsi... whichever you have"

Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Coke all taste about the same to me.... Diet Coke though, last time I had it (or maybe it's just the caffeine free version) was nasty....

There's a Michigan accent? I always thought people from Michigan spoke in the non-accent that news reporters use.

In SW Oklahoma it was always called Coke, followed by what kind? Coca-Cola, Orange Soda, ect...

My son calls my Shiner Bock beer "Mountain Goat Juice" because of the picture of the Mountain Goat on the bottle.

Caffeine Free **** tastes like ***

 

[wilheldp_PE]

I would assume that any **** would taste like ***.

 

[Sschell]

or is it vice versa?
