Only in the South

[furrbear]

Dave and I were joking about some of the more memorable bits from his days at the hemodialysis center:

Elderly Woman:	Nurse, I'm all hooked up to this contraption. Would you take these quarters for me and get me a cola from the vending machine?"
Nurse:	Why sure, Mrs. _____________. I'll have one of the aids get it for you. What kind of coke would you like?
EW:	Diet Dr. Pepper.

This is not uncommon, especially in the South.

I giggle every time I hear the word "pop" when I visit the midwest or anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line.

I generally say "soda" but a lot of times, the conversation goes exactly like above.

"Get me a Coke."
"What kind?"

"Get me a Coke."
"What kind?"

"Dr.Pepper", "Grape NeHi", "Orange Crush",...
