COKE!! I like it when the waitress says is pepsi fine? does it really matter?? Its a Jack and Coke!!

That's why when I get sodas I just say "Diet". It gets me a diet coal product, with no Coke or Pepsi gas.

It's Jack and Coke because only Coke tastes right with Jack. Same with rum. Dunno why, but Pepsi just doesn't taste right as the mixer.

We call it "soft drinks" here. No idea why tho.

I called it Soda when I lived in Cali. Now in the midwest we call it "pop", took a while to get used it lol

Here in the South, it's always "coke," no matter what kind of soda. Or sweeticedtea (said just like that).

In NY we call it soda. When I'm in a restaurant I ask for diet cola so the ' we only have coke' or 'we only have pepsi' nonsense can be skipped.

over here the generic word for any fizzy drink is "mineral" as in "would you like a mineral" or "do you have any minerals"

I heard that. If someone is taking your order, they dont ask what you want to drink, they ask what kind of coke you want. Or they have "coke products"
