“When I first come to America I wanted a cola and I say ‘cola?’ and they would be like ‘excuse me?’ and I say ‘cola. Cola. Cola!’ but it wasn’t cola; it was cock. Right? You would say ‘i want cock.’”
Wow its almost like theres dofferent experiences for different people in different parts of a huge state. We have a third texan weighing in that it is true right below you.
worked in restaurants for a long time in the most populous area and never heard that, so the chart is wrong in that area specifically. been all over texas and also never heard it anywhere so I’m willing to bet this is all just bullshit
Coke is not synonymous with either pop or soda…
It is in the south, at least where i was
How do you order an actual coke in the south?
“Ill have a coke” “What kind?” “Regular” or whatever you want, “pepsi”, “diet”, “dr pepper” etc
The real question is “how do they order other sodas”. The answer is extra steps.
I’d imagine you just say the name of the other soda. I don’t say “I’d like a Dr. Pepper soda” after all.
Although you might say an orange pop 😉
Call it a coca-cola.

I’ll have a coke, please.
That’s because they people there are ignorant.
Where was that? I was in Georgia for most of my life. Everyone I knew said Coke when they actually wanted a Coke. Soda was the generalized term.
Texas
I can confirm this. I’ve graduated to just calling everything by its name brand at this point.
not true at all, born and bred texan and literally nobody says coke unless they want coke
