The south is emphatically wrong on so much shit but calling soda/pop “coke” is somehow at the top of my list

Call all ice cream vanilla, or all cereal corn flakes, or all alcohol beer why the fuck not

Coke is neither a brand name nor a flavour. The brand is Coca-Cola and the flavour is cola.

I always assumed the word coke is derived from coca(-cola)

Calling it soda, good. Calling it pop, fine. Calling every soft drink a coke, fuck off.

Still makes more sense than calling Sprite “coke”.

For those of you who do not understand calling it coke: where do you put your soda / pop to keep it cold? A refrigerator or an ice box?

What does that have to do with coke? Are your icinators coca cola-branded?

I like how it has really vague boundaries that are obviously approximate but then it pretends to do precise gerrymandering-type carveouts in the second map

Probably some urban-rural divide.
