So people really refer to Sprite as coke?
Or does that just apply to cola flavored drinks?

Pop not just a Utah thing. Fry Sauce is a western thing.

For the most part, isn't Utah a "Soda" state?

I guess it depends on which map is more accurate.

Anecdotally, I pretty much only hear Soda around here.

Wow, Pop is used more than I thought.

I would say the first map is more accurate

I haven’t heard someone actually call it a “pop” in a long time.

Yeah I think it’s more of a mid-west thing.

I spent 9 years in the Midwest, and everyone called it pop

My folks had some midwestern roots and called it pop, but I’ve been living in CA long enough now that pop sounds weird

I agree, probably more common in Utah. Just not unique.

I think it’s “sloughing of skin” and I don’t think that’s a Utah thing.

You could be right. That's how my wife explained it to me and she's from UT

I've never understood calling all soda a coke. It makes no sense

Calling a product by a brand name isn't unique to Coke.

They'll ask "what kind of coke" you want
JuicyJam
4/15/21 4:45pm
So if you want a coke tho, do you say "cola" or "classic" to that?

You just respond “coke”.. second time around locks it down

NCMO takes on a whole new meaning when your board name is Jamdownsouth.

NCMO is not a Utah thing. It appears to be a Provo thing or for those who have strong ties to BYU and or Provo.

Yes. Ncmo is a BYU thing specifically.
