Woz Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Seriously, the linguistic quiz is somewhat interesting. Try it out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whicker Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Man you all are weird. Coke is coke. Pepsi is Pepsi. Mountain Dew is Mountain Dew. The generic term is soda. If you disagree you're wrong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Just now, Whicker said: So you go into a restaurant and say "I want a coke," their response is "what kind of coke?" It is assumed to be a cola. Given that Coca-Cola is headquartered in Atlanta, it will inevitably be a Coke. However, a coke does not necessarily equal a Coke. Pepsi is a coke. No, I don't know for sure, but I would assume a diet coke would be the diet cola (which is likely but not guaranteed to be Diet Coke).
