Here in the mountains of North Carolina there are still old-timers who call all those drinks "dope" or "sodey dope". As in, "I had a dope and a Moon Pie".

Around here it’s a sodey

Here it has always been soft drink

In KY you can hear soda, pop, coke and some of the others depending on where you are. That’s what happens when you are land locked by 7 US states and you sit smack dab between the Midwest, South, and Appalachia.

In Mayberry, it was always a bottle of pop (and filling stations).

I'm from Upstate NY and we called them "soda", however every summer I went to Canada for hockey camp...Canadians called them "pop".

I was raised all across the southern and western US. One day I'll call them pop and the next soda, coke, Pepsi, RC, soda, and about everything else.

But one thing that I despise is to ask for a Coke and getting a Pepsi without them telling me.

Now if I just ask for a cola I'll take any of the cola drinks

Yep everyone says Gretta sucks!

Ummm. Just how are we supposed to take that?
