I’ve heard that if you order a “Coke” in the area that says “Coke”, they’ll just give you a random soda and you have to drink it no matter what it is. That just seems plain wrong to me.

No-it’s would you like a Coke? Sure. I’ll have a Double Cola.

Can confirm, I usually got Pepsi when I asked for Coke (not unexpected).

I guess Dallas is the little bubble in Texas that uses soda. I've traveled pretty extensively through "coke" country and have yet to actually hear it.

I do remember some of the adults calling it pop when I was a kid in California. I seem to recall that pop/soda were almost interchangeable.

Where is "soft drink" on this map?

[–] darthskull@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Soft drinks include any non hard drink, including all the non carbonated stuff. This is specifically referring to carbonated beverages.
