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 3 weeks ago
Could be said of 95% of all instances of flirting.

Coke is not synonymous with either pop or soda…
Redacted@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
It is in the south, at least where i was
waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
How do you order an actual coke in the south?
Static_Rocket@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

That’s because they people there are ignorant.

i don’t want to be in a place that calls it pop that’s stupid as fuck
itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Coke is just as stupid, referring to any soft drink
nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
it’s stupid but the drink is also stupid and im not fat

idk who in Washington or Oregon calls it pop this map is inaccurate
Apeman42@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I dunno where they got this data from, but the PNW is definitely not “pop” country in my experience.
SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Yeah around here in Cascadia we just call it “the dark waters of imperialism”.

It was when I grew up there. 80s-90s.

There was still a “Pop” aisle at my QFC until at least 2014.

soda pop

I think the west side is a lot more blue than that. I’ve never once heard somebody refer to it as pop.
Owlboi@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
doesnt coke refer to coca cola specifically?
also pop sounds dumb as hell, soda all the way.
markovs_gun@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Not in the South lol. My grandma asks what kind of Coke I want, mountain dew or coca cola
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Utah should be a lot more blue.
hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Same with Colorado. I don’t think I heard “pop” once in the 20 years I lived there
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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.

Anyone else remember Soul Calibur 2 Conquest mode?
Psythik@lemm.ee 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

Oh right. Like #368 on list of reasons to hate the South, though.

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 3 weeks ago
Soda pop is the correct term. Soda and pop are just shortened versions.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t think “correct” really applies here. “Original” maybe.

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.

What’s going on down in Columbus County, North Carolina?

The UK map of where people say “scone” or “scone” is wild.

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 weeks 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.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
ICP and pop - is there a curse at Faygo?
chunes@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
TIL Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado are part of the midwest.

Chart gaslighting the public to think Washingtonians say ‘pop’. Usually people say Soda here.

You know they’re laughing at you, right? I mean that’s my theory.
Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks 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.
