Are you a Yankee or a Rebel?

[Mr. P]

So, what do you think "other" is? I have heard Soda, Coke, Pop, what is the "other"?

Go to link in post #14, click “View the Pop vs. Soda statistics. “, then click a State, you’ll see “other”..

Must be my close proximity to Kentucky. (If there's any Kentuckians participating on the board, J/K.)

Does anyone else use this phrase..."a whole nother thing"? (Instead of "another whole thing")

45% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

Kind of surprising to me

I wish I was in the land of cotton. Old times there are not forgotten. Look away. Look Away...

I laughed at that particular question. One of the choices was "you all." I also took note that "soda water" was not a choice for carbonated beverage.

I knew a girl who went to college in New Mexico. She said to order a soft drink there, you order Coke, and then the name. So if you want a Sprite, you say "I'll have a Coke-Sprite." This is probably in the "Coke" category though.

You know you are a Texan if you've ever had this conversation:

"You want a Coke?"

"Sure."

"What kind do you want?"

"Dr. Pepper."

Yeah, I say that sometimes, but I have one that comes up pretty often. I'm never about to do something, or going to do something, I'm always "fixin' to".

HA! HA! I loved that. So original.

Nor "soft drink", which it's sometimes called around here.

 

[Adam's Apple]

Does anyone call green peppers "mangos"?

I laughed at that particular question. One of the choices was "you all." I also took note that "soda water" was not a choice for carbonated beverage.

I had trouble with the "you all" one too. I picked "you all," but the truth is, it does come out "y'all" sometimes.

As for soda water, isn't that what your mama puts on bee stings?

 

[Nienna]

Does anyone call green peppers "mangos"?

I have heard of that, but around here, it's green peppers, bell peppers, or sweet peppers. (The last two can be green, orange, or yellow.)

I grew up on that conversation!
