Where is "soft drink" on this map?

[–] darthskull@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Soft drinks include any non hard drink, including all the non carbonated stuff. This is specifically referring to carbonated beverages.

Interestingly enough, I've never heard "soft drink" used to refer to anything but soda (Midwest USA here)

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oddly with the exception of water.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

The correct term is obviously "beer"

[–] Verat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I say "cola" if it is a cola type drink, and soda if it isn't. Raised in the Midwest for background.

How funny would it be if one state was completely colored red and it was "but of the old sweet and bubbly" or some shit.

This is storytelling, this is Cosby comedy, this isn't "bing bing bing," it's going to require a little bit of your attention.

St. Louis in 1947, We're Different from CHICAGO we're calling it SODA!

[–] indepndnt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Woah, I grew up in Portland, do they really call it soda there now? That's wild.

~~Shm.~~ Smh. The fucking people who call all sodas "coke".

Them: What kind of Ford do you drive? Me: a Chevy.

It's from Coca-Cola (headquartered in Atlanta) having total dominance of the south for a long time.
