    We're just having fun. But I will say when I lived in the south I said Coke for any soda. When I lived in the north I transitioned to Soda for Coke. In the mid-Atantic I say soda or cola. You? https://twitter.com/Garden_Warrior/status/937375559222530049 …

        It's Coke. Nobody orders a Jack & Pepsi or Jack & soda. I rest my case. :) (Is it 5 o'clock yet?)

        Coke own Dr. Pepper, Pepsi owns Mr. Pibb, same goes for Mountain Dew and Mello Yello.

        You're right Sharyl. I am a life-long Louisianan and we used "coke" as a generic term for any "soft drink". You'd ask mom for a "coke" or at a fountain or stand & the reply was "What kind?". Also, in New Orleans, people said col' drink & in Cajun country many did say "pop" too.

        Don’t know anyone in Lafayette, LA that says pop. It’s coke or soft drink.

        My cousin lives in Layfayette & her mother was from Lockport. They said "pop" too. Also soft drink & coke. We're not talking about TODAY - we're saying how it was. As you know, Louisiana is a very diverse state. Sometimes a few miles make a huge difference in speech, etc. :-).
