Except for the few people that called it Coke. As in, what kind of Coke do you want, orange, root beer, etc?Pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01683463718454987063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-11142972774733860382021-04-03T08:55:07.049-04:002021-04-03T08:55:07.049-04:00I used to work with a guy from the UP of Michigan....I used to work with a guy from the UP of Michigan. The first time I heard him refer to a Coke as a Pop, I went WTF? But I grew up in the South.

Then there were the store made ones such as Chocolate Egg-Cream (a fountain soda), Lime-Ricky (another fountain soda, the absolute best in the world). Certain ones were almost always called by brand names like: Coke, Pepsi, RC, 7-Up, Hires (root beer), Orange Crush, Dr. Browns (with the flavor deed after that). There were lots of names for them.
