This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Where was that? I was in Georgia for most of my life. Everyone I knew said Coke when they actually wanted a Coke. Soda was the generalized term.

I can confirm this. I've graduated to just calling everything by its name brand at this point.

not true at all, born and bred texan and literally nobody says coke unless they want coke

Wow its almost like theres dofferent experiences for different people in different parts of a huge state. We have a third texan weighing in that it is true right below you.

worked in restaurants for a long time in the most populous area and never heard that, so the chart is wrong in that area specifically. been all over texas and also never heard it anywhere so I'm willing to bet this is all just bullshit
