we'd call a mountain dew a mountain dew (if you could find a self respecting southerner that would actually drink a mountain dew)

Uhh...*raises hand*coe, I disagree with Shake on this...plenty of conversations around here go..."Would you like something to drink?" "What do you have?" "Water, Orange Juice, Coke..." "What kind of Coke?" "Coke/Regular, Diet, Sprite, Mello Yello..."I mean, it kind of annoys me that that's the generic name for a lot of people, but it is what it is.

lol Marchant, I literally almost never drank MD until the Vegas trip, and I couldn't stop drinking it there.

Yea... I'm from South Georgia, and growing up I alternated between Dew and Dr. Pepper (and RC and Moonpies). But it was all "coke". I could just say I wanted a coke and anybody that knew me, knew I meant a Dr. Pepper 99% of the time. The other 1%, they would ask "What kind?"

I've tried some of that in PA one time and just about threw up.In DC here we call it soda. I was in KY for school and got yelled at and ridiculed for not referring to it as POP. Rod Farva and his liter of cola FTW!I prefer it out of a fountain. There is nothing like getting coke or Mr Pibb from McD's out of the fountain.Bottles and cans, just clap your hands....WHERE IT'S AT..I got 2 turntables and a microphone...

which do you prefer? canned, plastic bottled, or out of the fountain (not which brand of soda)? discuss. also, generalize it. which do you think is generally better?edit: ****, it was supposed to be a poll. discuss anyway.

Pop out of glass bottles was the best, by far.

Most of the pop down here is still in glass, but they don't let you take the bottle. What you get is the pop "to go" poured into a plastic bag with a straw.

Um. ....... What?

I heard you can get some coke from mexico in glass bottles is some places and that it blows away american made coke. The diffrence seems to be coke from mexico is made with cane sugar while coke in the us and canada is made with the much cheaper high fructose corn syrop. Has anyone tried the mexican made coke? Do you know where you can get it? I also like to buy soda from smaller bottlers like Boylan and Jones where they still have glass bottles.

I've never seen this mexican made coke, even in mexico. But that's what makes Jones soda so good. It's made with pure sugar instead of the corn syrup.
