I grew up in and still live in SA too. I never heard either of those terms used (esp. the buggy one) here.

As for the survey, of the choices listed, I prefer Coke. I drink water most of the time as caffeinated drinks make me unable to sleep at night.

I will drink pretty much anything other than 7-up or sprite. I prefer pepsi over coke, but don't care either way. I usually drink water throughout the day, a pop with my lunch and juice for dinner. If I am working in the morning, I will grab a coffee before work.

Coca Cola was probably awesome back when it was made with real sugar, and they used fresh coca in the product (basically a very weak cocaine that probably gave a mild buzz along w/ the caffeine).

With high fructose corn syrup and denatured coca... bah humbug!!!

I am fond of the cane sugar Mountain Dew Throwback though, which I believe is part of Pepsi.

I much prefer Pepsi over Coke, I find Coke tastes weird. But when it comes to caff drinks, I'm a hardcore tea drinker

I always refer to Coke as the Elixer of the Gods! If a restaurant has Pepsi instead of coke I tend to get water or iced tea

Well, they definitely have their own language in this area. Or maybe it just seems that way to me cuz I'm not from here.

People here sometimes get a kick out of some of the phrases or words that I use, too. For example, I'll use the word "once" at the end of a sentence - such as, "Could you please come here once?". I have no idea why: just something I picked up growing up, and it's stuck ever since. Cracks my roommate up every time. So I guess fair is fair.

I put other because I enjoy pepsi and coke equally (am I really the only person with no preference?), just depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Though really, cola in general is near the bottom of my preferences. Orange pop is the first choice for carbonated beverages, but I prefer water/gatorade to carbonated drinks, or tea if I need caffeine. Caffeine affects me a lot though, so I can't drink it within 7 hours of going to bed, limiting how often I drink it.

For referece, it's really common for people in the Chicago area to call all different pops Coke as well. That's followed in popularity by pop since we're in the midwest, and we'll look at you really funny if you start mentioning soda
