I live in Dallas and I call it coke. Usually though, we just use the real name of the drink, but when referring to carbonated beverages as a collective, we use coke. I hate Coca-Cola too.
My relatives from Wisconsin either call it soda, pop or soda-pop. All of those drive me insane, especially soda-pop.
The real question is: how many of you drink the best drink ever, Dr Pepper. It seems to be a South thing as well and the restaruants that serve it grow scarce as you travel northward - try it out sometime. My mom even used to hate it when she lived in Indiana, but after moving to Dallas, she began to love it for some reason. Hmmmm...
