Got rid of the wasted words for ya.

Around here, if I order a Coke, I'm getting a Coke.
Yeah, we know.  We've already acknowledged you're a yankee "pop" guy.  

Around here, if you say the word "pop," you'll get laughed at and branded as a silly yankee.

It is remarkable here how prevalent "sweet tea" is on menus.  My wife adores the stuff.

It's so gross.

It wasn't even a thing in Austin two decades ago.  If you ordered "tea" it was iced tea, plain, no sweetener added.  On your table, was a little wire basket that held packets of sugar, sweet 'n' low, or later splenda, to stir into your tea, if you so desired.

Nowadays, that sickly diabetes juice is everywhere.  If you order "tea" the next question is "sweet or unsweet?"  It's a damn shame it's come to this.

That's probably another reason I just drink water instead.

You ask for a "pop" in the South, and you might get popped upside the head.

I would never order a "pop".

When asked, I say Diet Pepsi, because nobody likes Coke.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

And down here they'd look at you funny and say, "we serve Coke not Pepsi" unless you're at a Taco Bell I guess.  Because nobody likes Pepsi.

So, IOW -- I'll have the shittiest tasting beverage on your menu, please.  Thanks!  :)

Full disclosure.

I used to drink Diet Coke. Then it turned into Diet Woke.

So, Diet Pepsi it is.

If I'm drinking pop, that is.

My wife is the same way.  Except it was regular Coke, now Pepsi.

She didn't want to be less white.  Go figure.

Myself -- I try not to touch the stuff.  Rare occasions only.

Yeah I'm just jawing with you.  It's been over 20 years since I regularly drank Coca Cola or any other soft drinks.

I'll occasionally get a fountain coke at a restaurant at lunchtime, when it's mixed right and has a really nice carbonated burn.  But that' only a couple of times per year.

I don't stock it at home. I generally get water when we are out to lunch, and add my own decaf tea mix to it. Unless they have decaf tea (they never do).

If you have 5 minutes...worth a listen.  LOL

That's pretty good.

I've been advised to avoid caffeine due to my condition, which should change soon.

My wife developed a caffeine allergy in her mid 20s, which greatly reduced my pop intake.  We mostly only had it around for her.  Now that our oldest is 11, I imagine it will start sneaking back in
