I refuse to call all sodas “Coke”.


I grew up in Texas, too. And when I was a kid, in the 1940s, every soft drink was a coke, and every candy bar was a hershey.

Speech habits formed in youth don’t go away.


I grew up in Texas but when I went into the military, I was stationed with guys from NY, NH, MA, and picked up their accents. When I’d go home on leave, it was “You talk like a Yankee.” But when I’d go up north (I was stationed in Virginia), they’d say, “You’re from the south, aren’t you?”

Grew up in Oklahoma, if it was dark brown it was a coke (root beer seemed to be the exception though) if it was clear it was seven up ( even if it was really sprite).

I lived in the Texas Panhandle, so we were not that far apart. And what you say about seven-up sounds familiar.

99% Dixie. Considering how much time I’ve spent out of Dixie, I’m not surprised I lost 1%. Lol
