We're in the South. We say "coke." Then we clarify. Example:
Server: What would you like to drink, darlin'?"
Customer: "I'll just have some coke."
Server: "Okay sugar, what kind?"
Customer: "Dr. Pepper, please ma'am."
Server: "I'll have it for you in a minute, hun."
In Atlanta, they always ask "do you want a Coke," what they're referring to soft drinks, in general.
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
