Master 2052 Colorado | Subject: RE: The BT coke vs pop vs soda debate I was born in Texas (Coke), then moved to Minnesota (Pop), and have spent the last 7 years in DC (soda). It's not unheard of for me to utter the phrase: "hey, y'all, grab me a soda, eh?" I'm a conflicted individual. |

| Veteran 465 Michigan | Subject: RE: The BT coke vs pop vs soda debate I don't get it. Isn't Coke is a brand name? Are people saying they call all carbonated beverages Coke in some parts of the country? |

| Expert 1279 Northern VA | Subject: RE: The BT coke vs pop vs soda debate ASSUMING you prefer a carbonated beverage OTHER than Coke (the Real thang): In parts of the country where you call these beverages COKE, when you go to a dining establishment, and ask for COKE, can the waitstaff read your mind and bring you a rootbeer, sprite, DP, ....... ????? If NOT, then I assume you have to SAY the other brand/flavor. THEREFORE, you do not call every carbonated beverage COKE. Edit: Oooops Courtney beat me to the point.

Edit: Oooops Courtney beat me to the point. no but when you go into a diner do you order a soda or a pop? No, because she is asking what specific beverage you want. If you are out running errands and get thirsty, you say lets go to McDonalds for a Coke. Meaning lets go get a "soft drink." You could also go to the Coke machine and buy whichever type you prefer. |

| Expert 1279 Northern VA | Subject: RE: The BT coke vs pop vs soda debate I think you're missing the point - you claim that Coke is generic, just as all those you pointed out earlier: Chapstick or lipbalm (BTW you forgot Kleenex vs tissue) You then state: NO it isn't. If you ask for a Kleenex, Post-it, xerox, vice-grips, etc, you will get what you want. If you ask for a coke, you may not - its NOT generic. |

| Elite 3650 Laurium, MI | Subject: RE: The BT coke vs pop vs soda debate not at all. I have asked for a kleenex many times and have been handed just a normal facial tissue. Definatly the same with a Cresent Wrench and postit note. So Coke is a brand name, but it serves as the generic form. It canbe used both as a generic and a specific. When in the generic form (lets grab a coke, where's a coke machine, ect....) you aren't refering to a specific product, just the generic. When you get there you decide what type of Coke you want and you order accordingly. Again, when asking for it specificly, you wouldn't order a soda or a cola (literacola?) or a pop, as the waitress would then have to dope slap you and ask what kind. |
