Team Avatar Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 in CT (i can only speak for the 203) if we ask for a coke we want a coke. no one says pop and if we wanted something else we'd ask if they have dr. pepper or sprite. emacs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Growing up in the mid-west, you'd go into a restaurant and say, "what kind of coke(s) do you have?" or "lemme get an orange coke." Mountain Dew was pretty much the only thing that was differentiated. I say soda though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If you honestly call them "Reese's Peanut Butter Cups" I think you're the outlier. There was a massive ad campaign in the 90s that encouraged people to refer to the candy as the name of the company. "There's no wrong way to eat a Reese's." i usually just say PB Cup, not use the company name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 i usually just say PB Cup, not use the company name. Next time you do that I hope someone gives you an off-brand PB cup then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Next time you do that I hope someone gives you an off-brand PB cup then! THERE ARE NO PB CUPS OTHER THAN REESES PB CUPS. but i am also of the persuasion that you shouldn't have to differentiate between a chocolate or vanilla frosty. a frosty is intrinsically chocolate. this vanilla thing is bullshit.

Family Friendly Rap God Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 It's pop, fucking fight me. Soda is what southern numbskulls say. From NY- it's soda bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 From NY- it's soda bro same. i've never heard anyone from a mid-atlantic/new england state refer to it as 'pop', always 'soda'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCandless Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 UK here. I sometimes call it pop. As in "if you're going to the shop will you get us some pop". But for the individual items, it's Coke, or Pepsi or whatever. To me, "soda" means soda water, which is disgusting. I agree with the whole soda thing. Although I don't really say pop, it's usually just 'fizzy drink' around here. I have no idea why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hey Americans, how do you order booze at the bar? Do you ask for pints or what? I asked for pints in the US and they were like "pints? ok..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hey Americans, how do you order booze at the bar? Do you ask for pints or what? I asked for pints in the US and they were like "pints? ok..." Depends on where you go and what you're ordering. Some beers aren't served in pints because of the higher ABV. We have so many craft beer places here in Oakland that I only differentiate if there is a larger size. Then I usually ask for the larger size. A pint of Pliny always sounds good to me.

Guest Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 We ask for the beer we want and are generally happy with whatever volume it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sometimes the bartender will say "Tall or short" and then you laugh because who gets the smaller size beer? I usually order my beer by asking for vodka though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The only time I've ever been served anything smaller than a 12 oz drink, it's something insanely high in abv, and they usually let you know beforehand, or its noted on the menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Everywhere has their own sized glasses. The trick is finding the place with the biggest glasses for the cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflycon Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It's interesting how only one person got on Ry Bread's ass for saying "retarded" while the rest of the usually-keyboard-warriors stayed quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well whiskey...Oof, God damn.Late reply to this^Haha! If I want to drink nice whiskey/scotch/bourbon I keep some at home. I can't justify paying bar prices for nice alcohol. ::shrug:: Plus, that shit tastes like water to me now. As a young lad I'd buy a liter of the cheapest whiskey around and just drink it, repeat the next day. Thankfully I never really became dependent on alcohol. My lifestyle as young man was not the smartest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
