I was talking to my wife about this thread, and she said folks in the south (USA), often ask if you want a "cold drink", and they are refering to Coke. I think this goes along with what I had said earlier about "cola" and what Madame TBird is saying about "Coke". All three are generalising "pop" and "soda".
We have a drink called rot gut here in the general area of Ohio. It's basically moonshine or any cheap, nasty tasting store bought liquor. Coke will do wonders for cleaning grease and oil off your cement though!!!

anyone remember ok soda? i don't think it ever expanded through all of the states, but here in colorado you could call this number: 1.800.IFEELOK and listen to testimonies of how people felt okay. ok soda was a nasty tasting drink. i guess that's why it didn't last very long.

Where I was born it's called, "pop", but in Texas it's "Soda". However, I'm like mrs. zane, I rarely drink it, unless a coke when eating a hamburger. I'm a 'FOLGER COFFEE GIRL', which I drink all day and leave cups all over the house..lol.

Is that the kind of coke, with the lemon already in it, Sunny? They call it lemon Coke here. And I find it yuck!

If you want to pull a nice trick on (at least) some Europeans. Give them root beer. I don't know what it is, all people I know (exception for myself) that try root beer......spit it out immediately, because they find it gross.
It is a taste that you need to have grown up with, to like it. I guess.
Kind of feeding someone dutch "drop" our version of black liqorice. The faces you get are priceless. I often throw this one, on unsuspecting visitors....try our number 1 candy. (which it is, it is the most eaten candy in NL.)
