Using “coke” as a generic word for soft drinks is very regional in the US. In a large part of the country you would get a funny look if you referred to some other brand as a coke. The law office that made this is in Colorado, and it looks like they’re solidly in “pop” territory.
No Coke?
Typical exchange in Texas:
Person A: Can I have a coke?
Person B: What kind?
Person A: Dr Pepper
As if Coca-Cola would ever allow that to happen. They’d send death squads against the court that even thought about it.
I’m going to watch a Disney! 😄
Do people really use coke generically? I’ve always thought coke to refer solely to coca-cola. Maybe it’s just a regional thing.
What’s the generic term in your area?
You just say what you want. If you want to refer to all then it’s soda.
Does soda also refer to lemonades? In my region we call it Kola and Limo :D
No, only carbonated drinks.
You lemonade isn’t carbonated?? Damn
Yeo. Root beer coke, Dr pepper coke, “get me a case of coke” “what type?” “Ginger ale” etc
