Up in Minnesota its a Pop! I've heard soda espically from my Il buddies. Never have I heard COKE! That has to be the hickest thing I have ever heard! Coke is a BRAND! Cola is the product, thats why it is Pepsi COLA, Coca COLA! I can understand soda, and once in a while use it, it used to bother me but not anymore. Man does Coke bother me though, "Drr, Drr can I have a Coke 7-up?" that just sounds bad. Its like can I get a Bud-Miller light?
