    Nah, they probably said "sodie pop" and the pollsters couldn't figure out what sodie meant.:icon_wink:

    Re: Soda, Coke, or Pop?

    Coke is it. I drink coke...so I go with my wife, kids, and my daughter's friend to a place to eat. I order a coke instead of iced tea for the first time at this certain place that we've eaten at many times. My daughter's friend orders a Barqs. The drinks arrive and I take my first sip. This tastes stale to me...maybe it's the ice. My daughter's friend says her Barqs rootbeer tastes weird. I ask the waitress whats up with our coke and barqs. I found out that I was served RC and the little girl was served some other brand than barqs root beer. If a place doesn't serve Coke products, I will not order another type of cola and I will go with beer or iced tea. I can tell coke from the first taste and so could my daughter's friend concerning barqs root beer. If I order coke, I want a coke...not an RC cola and the waitress should tell me they don't serve coke so I can make another choice of beverage. Talk about the generic use of the word coke to mean any cola. Coke means cola even if you pay what Cokes cost and get a store brand at the same price. It's just like paying for a premium label of booze and getting a house brand for the same price. So..beware when ordering a coke and you want a coke...that they don't bring you another brand because they think that they can bring just any cola to you. Just any cola will not do. It has to be THE REAL THING...COCA COLA!!!
