Pepsi Max is my favorite of the colas. Also love Cherry Pepsi Max, it smells just like Cherry Pepsi did when I was a kid.
I like the new shape 1.5 litre bottles of Pepsi and Diet Pepsi.

I drink Coca Cola sometimes, I just wish Diet Cherry Coke had the same flavour of cherry that Cherry Coke has.
I read that CocaCola Zero is being discontinued in the UK with a new version called CocaCola Zero Sugar with a new formula to make it taste more like regular CocaCola.

Also seen CocaCola Life has been reformulated with less sugar in it, and a new red logo.
I read that too. I think it's very strange that people haven't grasped the concept that it has zero sugar in it. I will not be calling it by its ridiculous new name!!!

People seem weirdly obsessed with this drink. Coca cola is much better.
Can we not say Coke or something? I can't remember the last time I heard anyone use the full name. Are people scared of the bad jokes brigade turning it into some crappy drug humour?

...oh and great example by the way, because it's not like anyone is obsessed with that drink at all is it?

Both of them are pretty boring if you ask me. They can be ok if you're really thirsty, but nothing special. I see it in the same way as pop music really. Loads of people like generic, middle of the road pop, with not much flavour and they'll all argue over how classic it is, while use cooler people sit back and silently judge you all...

Odd reply.

I guess that's what happens when you upset Pepsi Max bitches.

I know. I just call proper coca cola, coke. I'd presume if I said that online, people would know I meant the original though, in a thread like this.

All you've proved with that is that you can't read more than a couple of sentences though really isn't it?

I mean, I called both of them 'boring' drinks, that might have been your first clue that I wasn't a massive fan of either

Pepsi... Pepsi Max, meh... not much difference really. If I had to say, I'd say I preferred Pepsi. Max seems sweeter, not that I mentioned it. Odd reply indeed.

You might. Most people would take Coke to mean original Coca Cola.

Coke

In the Southern United States, "coke" (or "cola") is used as a generic term for any type of soft drink—not just a Coca-Cola product or another cola. This terminology is also used in areas adjacent to the traditional southern states, such as New Mexico and Southern Indiana. Several other locations have been found to use the generic "coke," such as Trinity County, California and White Pine County, Nevada,[5] although the small populations of these counties may skew survey results. A Twitter data scientist, however, found that while "soda" and "pop" dominate in the United States, "coke" is a generic soft drink name in other countries, especially in Europe.[6]

Same. Never known anyone use it for anything else in the UK. Well, I suppose Coke can mean generic coca cola rip offs, but never any fizzy drink.

Mudbox, I think you need to get off the internet and get some fresh air

Coke (with a capital C) is a registered trademark. I expect for most people it's synonymous with Coca-Cola, because other colas never use the word "Coke" (or even "coke") on their packaging or advertising.

Me neither Ænima. Gernerally people use cola for the rip off cheapy cokes. Then for fizzy drinks it depends where you are in the country up north it's called "pop" when i lived down south i only ever heard people call them "fizzy drinks"

the, what does 'coke' mean could probably have its own thread, with a poll.

My link was referring to the US, where it meant any soft drink.

so when you said "people use coke to mean any cola" you meant "southern americans use coke to mean any cola"
as your link said "In the Southern United States, "coke" (or "cola") is used as a generic term for any type of soft drink—not just a Coca-Cola product or another cola"
Because your link also stated:
""Pop" is most commonly associated with the Midwest.[7] The term is also more common in the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West.[5]Pop is also used in northern Ohio. This could be because of Canadian influence but we can't really be sure."
and
""Soda" is most common on the East and West Coasts,[8] as well as Hawaii, St. Louis, Missouri, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin."

True. I actually just call them by name to be honest, rather than pop or fizzy drink, though coca cola, I'd shorten to Coke. I actually don't know anyone who says coca cola for coke, not that any of this shit even really matters

Sounds like a dull thread... you should do it.

Well, I don't care about the US. I live in the UK and this is a UK site

could be....it's weird when you hear people speaking french or spanish and they suddenly say "microwave" or something maybe coke has a more universal meaning on the continent.

when i was travelling round france i met a man who only knew one english word "hooligan" ....don't know why i just thought of that.... it's late and there's no coke in the house...
