September 16, 201016 yr I'm from Nky and i've always said soda. BTW a coke is a coke is a coke. Coke means Coca Cola.Not in Columbia. :sssh:
September 16, 201016 yr I say pop and I'm from Pike County. I don't drink Coke and would never degrade Pepsi by calling it Coke.
September 16, 201016 yr Come on OR, you gotta go Miller if you're going down that road . Miller is awful.
September 16, 201016 yr How close are the populations? You had to go and drag demographics into the fray. County where I live - 17,378 (2009 estimate) County where I was raised - 521,209 (2009 estimate) Thirty times as many answered the survey; thirty times as many live in the county where I was raised.

September 17, 201016 yr The eastern Kentucky county where I'm from is pop country. I suppose it's that way in most of Eastern Kentucky.
September 17, 201016 yr Where I grew up about 80% of the people call it pop. The store signs even said pop. My mother hated the pop. So it was call it by it's name (Coke, Pepsi, etc) or call it by what it was - a beverage. It's engrained in me, anything carbonated is a beverage.
September 17, 201016 yr Around here, we just say "soft drink" when referring to carbonated beverages in general. Generally, if you want a cola drink, you ask for a Coke. If they only have Pepsi products, they'll tell you, and you can say, "that's fine." Otherwise, I guess you just order the specific product you want.
September 17, 201016 yr Some of the "other" answers are hilarious. Purple Drink, Jamarcus must have been there.
September 17, 201016 yr Whether Coke or Pepsi, I always refer to it as "a coke." Now if I want a Mountain Dew, Root Beer, Dr. Pepper or whatever else, then I'll call them by name. But rarely do I say the word "Pepsi," although I'm more than happy to drink them if that's what the restaurant serves.
September 17, 201016 yr Miller is awful. Miller Lite? You're a Kentuckian aren't you? I've noticed at games that people in KY seem to drink more Bud Light and in Ohio they seem to prefer Miller. I'm a Kentuckian, but I'd rather drink flood water than BL . :thumb:
