NorthSideSox72 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 If its been asked here before, I don't recall. So what do you drink, in the sugar water arena? And what do you call it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I usually drink diet pepsi, but will drink diet coke and I won't be insane about it. If I have a regular soda I prefer pepsi out of the can and coke out of a fountain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I drink Jarritos the most. I prefer tamarindo but my family usually buys both the mandarina and tararindo ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Oh yeah, I forgot Jarritos. And when I say "coke" or "pepsi", those are brand encompassing. Coke is coke, diet coke, caffeine free diet coke, coke zero, coke one and a half, gravy-flavored coke, whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) As "Ocho Cinco" aka Chad Johnson so perfectly put it: "Coke. From McDonalds". But yeah, I prefer any form of fountain coca cola by far, and I'm not a fan of any sort of pop in a can. Which brings me to my next point, as a self respecting lifelong Chicagoan, of course I call it pop. That's a given.

Anyways, it's fine if you think that. Your completely wrong and misinformed, but we all have things which we are wrong about.

The Beast Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I've heard pop be called sodie before, which was a tad strange, but my friend has a Southern dialect so that might explain something. Kakalash vendor: "Mountain Dew or crab juice?" Homer Simpson: "Eww, I'll take the crab juice." I love Mountain Dew or anything similar to Sierra Mist. However, in recent years I have tried to cut back on pop seeing as though I'm running 3-5 miles each week day and I need my Gatorade or water fluids.

If I wanted a diet coke, or a sprite or something, why would I say coke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 It's odd, but I love Pepsi when it is hot outside and Coke when it is cold outside. I call it soda because I grew up around relatives in southern Illinois and that is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartattack19 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 It is pop!!!! In college we had a bunch of people from St. Louis, they made me crazy with their "soda"... I personally like RC, but coke is a close second. For non cols, Dr. Pepper, Lime Jarriots and Green River. Root Beer has to be berghoff, that is some good stuff! The best tasting pop is from the gun at a bar, granted, i should not drink pop at a bar, but it is the best, i think they use more syrup in thier mix so that it is really sweet.

GREAT point in the bold, I forgot to mention that actually. A coca cola from the gun at the bar might surpass anything else listed in the thread. I don't drink alcohol all that often, so I drive quite a bit when my friends and I go out and one of the benefits of being that way is the coca cola at bars tends to be outstanding.
