Certainly not. Again, I haven't had the Pibb in years (since they do not sell it in NYC), so I by no means can speak authoritatively on it.

Sorry, I had some misplaced anger:

"I'd like a number 2, regular sized, with a Dr Pepper please."

"Is Pibb ok?"

"uh, make it a coke please."

Maybe a Garden Water Fountain and Water Drinking Fountain, we can compromise, but I still say no Cherry Cokes ever come from a water drinking fountain...

That's just too goddamn many extra words. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

And of course Cherry Coke doesn't come out of a drinking fountain. Why would you think that? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I grew up in the Arkansas Ozarks, where it was 'Coke' when I was a kid, but now has become 'pop'. This, I believe, due to heavy migration of Chicago yankees to the area. (Of which my family is part, but we were there first)

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

If I want a Coke or a Pepsi, but I don't know which the restaurant serves, I just ask for a cola.

I think Drinking Fountain Implies that you can get any Drink at it , or alteast more then one...

Because we can get into the argument of what Fountain Soda is...

we might need a poll on the drinking foutain thing too

edit : Damn it man you got me saying drinking fountain...

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

In Texas, we pretty much call it all coke.

The conversation goes like this. "Would you like a coke?" if they say yes, then you ask "what kind?"

If you go to a restaurant and you order a coke, and they say they only have pepsi, the order changes to dr. pepper or iced tea.

Well, they come from soda fountains. Which is what they are called around here, but we otherwise call everything "coke." That's kind of weird.
