This goes out to my sister in law Ashley!

Posted on October 15th, 2005 by Perry C.

She’s been giving me a hard time for years about saying “pop” instead of calling all soda “coke” like a good Texan should

Now there’s demographic info to back her up click here for the map
:)

Thanks to Texas Confederate for the link

I told her you can’t spend 15 years (THANKS DAD) wandering in the Yankee wilderness (eastern Ohio - where some know God but few know the Cowboys) and come back unscathed.

I have taken to calling it “sodie water” after I heard a few old timers in Yancy, TX use the term.

It helps to hide the Yankee taint I carry

I’m glad I’m back in the land of cotton ……

    I always called it “coke” also until I met Cedric then I started calling it soda because I got tired of him always buying me coke even though he knew I prefered Dr. Pepper. My Granny use to call it “soda water” though. She is from a small Texas town.
    So is that the new baby in the photo?

    The correct terminology for carbonated beverages such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, etc., is soda. Just thought ya’ll should know.

    Let’s have a Coke and discuss it. Make my Coke a Dr. Pepper. :-) Here’s the correct URL - http://texasconfederate.blogspot.com/

    Soda? Tell the truth, supyo1776: your profile says San Antonio, but you’re not a *real* Texan, are you?
