Stupid shit like this hits hard to some folks in the south. I have family members are pissed how "everything is changing", so much in fact that this very thing caused a disturbance at a local college pub. Last year, one of my dumbass family members was thrown out for being rude. When I asked him what happened he said...

" That god damn Yankee girl wanted to know if I wanted a fucking pop. What the fuck is a pop? So I asked her. She said something like a soda or whatever and I told her, it's a fucking coke and she needs to go back to fucking Chicago and get fucked. Don't bring your stupid shit down here."

Even more f'd up, is he would have ordered a Sprite.

I dislike a few of my relatives.

Sprites are great, what's with all this sprite slander? Sprite, Sierra Mist, etc are the best sodas.

You're missing how it works; you ask for a Coke, the server says what kind, and you say Sprite.

Ah, I see

But they're not a damn coke

[–] ChucklesMacLeroy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Correct. 🤷

Why you gotta leave out the og? 7up is the quintessential lemon lime beverage. Much better in a cocktail, IMO.

While my own similar rant would have been only meant in play, this is how I feel about both o' y'all. It's a fucking soda. Gonna just go all the way and call sweet tea a coke too?
