    I grew up calling all carbonated, sweetened beverages "cokes." Now I mostly use the word "soda" or just "dDP" because Diet Dr. Pepper is the only kind I drink anymore.

    Do you said "little d, big d, P"?

    I just say "deedeepee" but I spell it dDP when I text my husband to remind him to bring some home from the store.

    I use soda for generalities, or the actual name of the product if the situation calls for specifics.

    I actually consume coke product for the majority of my sodas, so if I were to say " I need to stop drinking cokes" I'm technically not using coke for an ignorant redneck generality.

    Ignorant redneck??? I think it's just cultural - I'm certainly not ignorant and I refer to them all as Coke as that's what we do down here...but ignorant redneck?? Get a grip!

    Soda for me. But if I'm at a restaurant I ask "coke or pepsi" before ordering, to know what version they have. If they have pepsi, I order diet, if they have coke I order regular. I don't like the taste of diet coke, and regular pepsi is too sugary for me.

    I'm glad you said what I was thinking. I couldn't think of a tactful way to say "don't be a jerkface"

    I usually say, "I'm going to order a pop," then I order Coke or Dr. Pepper, depending on if it's Coke or Pepsi products.

    do yo guys just not care about the brands? so when u order a "coke" you are fine with coke, pepsi, any ohter cola? does Dr. Pepper count as "coke"?

    thats just so weird.

    In parts of central/southern Missouri, they used to say "Sodapop." Anyone use that?

    If I'm at a restaurant, I'll ask for what I want (Diet Coke or Sprite usually) but if I'm thirsty I'll say, "I want a coke."...that could mean anything with carbonation. Yeah, explaining it sounds silly...but it's still all coke to me. :)

    Same here , except I moved to Utah. Still it's almost always a soda to me, even after 24 years here.

    Soda (or as my gramma would say, sodie), or the actual name of what you want. My dad's siblings all call it Coke.
