When I asked for a Dr Pepper in Tennessee the waitress said ‘here’s your coke’. So I said ‘wait, I didn’t order a coke’ and she said ’ it’s Dr Pepper’. I thought she was flirting with me, so I started smiling at her and gave her a nice tip. This whole interaction now makes a bit more sense.
game has multiple factions fighting each other

Yeah… I’m gonna need a detailed breakdown of the rationale you followed to get from “she called Dr. Pepper coke” to “she’s flirting with me”, if you don’t mind.

He thought she was saying a small lie to get a reaction out of him. Like playing a small prank. Playfulness

That would be a seriously weird way to flirt
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Could be said of 95% of all instances of flirting.

Coke is not synonymous with either pop or soda…

How do you order an actual coke in the south?
macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 2 days ago
That’s because they people there are ignorant.

Where was that? I was in Georgia for most of my life. Everyone I knew said Coke when they actually wanted a Coke. Soda was the generalized term.

Anyone else remember Soul Calibur 2 Conquest mode?
Psythik@lemm.ee 1 day ago
No. Was that in the GameCube version?
FWIW I only rented the game once, so I didn’t get to play it much.
grueling_spool@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
Arcade version only, I think. You chose a character and one of three factions, and then fought your eight matches against CPU versions of other players’ chosen characters. The CPU difficulty was based on the performance of the character’s player, and I think there was even some variation in the AI depending on the player’s habits. Likewise, your own character would be in the system for other players to fight.
Anyway, each faction controlled territory on a map based on its players’ overall W/L ratio, and it looked something like the image in the OP.

doesnt coke refer to coca cola specifically?
also pop sounds dumb as hell, soda all the way.
markovs_gun@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Not in the South lol. My grandma asks what kind of Coke I want, mountain dew or coca cola
Apeman42@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I dunno where they got this data from, but the PNW is definitely not “pop” country in my experience.

Yeah around here in Cascadia we just call it “the dark waters of imperialism”.

Same with Colorado. I don’t think I heard “pop” once in the 20 years I lived there
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 1 day ago
And Oregon. The only people that call it ‘pop’ here are 80+, and it’s rare for them. I used to hear it called ‘pop’ by the elderly all the time when I was a kid, but that demographic has been dying out for the past twenty years.

Wow, the evil forces of “coke” have made significant territory gains since the last time I saw one of these maps. I have never heard a single person call a random non-coke soda a “coke”. I recently moved to a “pop” area, but I haven’t received any push back from saying soda at least. I did hear some old people here specifically call it “soda pop” though.
atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
As somebody from Tulsa I can confirm that Oklahoma is a weird mishmash of ‘anything goes’. People will literally say “soda pop”.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Soda pop is the correct term. Soda and pop are just shortened versions.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I don’t think “correct” really applies here. “Original” maybe.

The south is easily persuaded, hence brand name Soda is what it is, comes from soda fountain, soda water etc. Midwest on some otherworldly cute BS. Daduw is pop, the sound it makes?!
LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 3 days ago
the term “soda pop” is traced back to the 1800s when seltzer water came into production and tasty carbonated beverages were eventually served at soda fountains in drug stores. Their report indicates “pop” itself caught on as slang, and was prominently used in northern states like Minnesota and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Faygo, the Detroit-based soft drink company, is said to be the first to market soda as “pop” after the sound the lid made when it popped off the soda bottle. Others give a store in Erie, Pa., credit for coining the term in 1868.

ICP and pop - is there a curse at Faygo?
chunes@lemmy.world 2 days ago
TIL Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado are part of the midwest.

Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago
The sound it makes is exactly where the name comes from. Also there were people in soda territory also calling it pop as well way back in the day. That’s why the term “soda pop” exists.
