"Diet coke root beer"
(did I say that right!)
What really confuses me is when you actually want a coke!
person 1- "what kinda coke ya'll want?"
person 2- "uh get me a diet pepsi if they got it, if not diet dr pepper'd be fine"
person 3- "yeah man just get me a coke"
simple as.
Didn't know this was a Texas thing too. Atlanta, everything is a Coke.
This made me SO confused last time I visited Texas! I thought nobody carried anything but coke until my cousin told me she got me a coke and it was a Pepsi.
Surely coke is Coca-Cola and Pepsi is Pepsi?
in the Southeastern US and Texas (rednecks and cowboys) Everything is a coke, even a Pepsi or a mountain dew. Coca Cola is known as "just coke" or "Classic Coke". Atlanta is the world HQ of Coca Cola, so I've grown up with it being like this here. It is new knowledge to me that Texas is the same, only bigger.
in atlanta do they call Dr Pepper coke too?
Yep! I am a Dr. Pepper drinker and always call it a coke. Unless it is the glass bottles you can only get at the grocery store that are made with real sugar. Those are 10-2-4 Dr. Peppers and stand all by their own.
I call them all generally, soda.
But I call each of them by name. I get specific. lol0 -

eh I was born in to the weirdness and it has stuck. Not changing it now

I know!!! 😂😂 I would have understood if she said soda I’d have gotten her a sprite but she didn’t make things clear. I thought a coke was a coke 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂😂😂
and soda isn’t sprite where i live. Soda usually means a fizzy drink in general but in a bar it means unflavored soda water.1 -

Here, if the server is from around, you'd order a coke and they'd tell you what kind they have.2 -
