loogodude90 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 You said "POP". What, was I supposed to say "SODA"? Now that's weird.http://popvssoda.com...tal-county.htmlI know this is old, but I'm calling bull on the Indianapolis-area data. I've never heard anyone use "Coke" and "soda/pop" interchangeably. I use soda myself, but I'd say that soda and pop are probably about equal around here. But, it's definitely not "Coke".I can't help but think you're only referring to people you know. I hear it all the time?whether I'm in Indy, Louisville, or somewhere inbetween.But when they say Coke, do they really mean "soda in general"? I'm not from that part of the country, but I believe sizemorematters on this one. Why would someone say "I'm going to the store to buy some Coke" if they were buying Sprite? I'm not saying that people don't say Coke at all, but do they really use it interchangeably with soda? I don't get why anyone would do that, without wanting to cause confusion.

How can you use a specific brand-name to refer generally to all kinds of soda, many of which aren't even made by that brand? I feel like that would be like using the term "Big Mac" to refer to all fast-food burgers from all restaurants.

IceCap Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It was confusing (spent a year in the south in high school). I think it's just a case of Coke both being the prototypical soft drink and it being headquartered in the south. I guess it's something that if you grow up with it it makes sense. I donno. Like..."I'll have a Coke.""Ok. Which kind?""Sprite."Sounded weird and still sounds weird. I guess it sounds right if you're from there though.

BadSeed84 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Being in a deli today I saw that lifesavers has a new label, basically reverting back to the familiar lifesavers logo, which I think is a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I was in the store the other day, and noticed that we here in Canada still have the straw/orange Tropicana cartons.

BadSeed84 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Fiber One has a new logo/packaging now, heres a pic of the bars.Old on left, new on rightAlso, Kellogg's for the past few months has been changing their logo on their boxes of cereal, used to be to at the top left with the white line, now for most of them its at the top center, no white line. Of course this means they are changing some of the cereal boxes looks and here's 2 of em!Crispix, old on left new on rightCracklin' Oat Bran, old on left and new on rightI like that both have bowls of cereal depcted rather than a enlarged teaspoon of a few pieces of cereal (or in crispix's case just 2 huge pieces witha splash of milk)But I would say the previous cracklin' oat bran looks better to me with the sunburst type lines.
