Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Hobanon]

Just read this today (nevermind the politics)...

"[Fox News] business model depends on morons; morons are the raw materials of their industry, the way Budweiser is in the hops business."

It almost hurts. At least they tried for a good analogy, just didn't have the research.

Friend came over on Sunday, when I offered him a beer he said he'd love a Coors. I told him I had a dozen different craft beer options of multiple styles for him to try yet he insisted on his choice. I poured him a hb instead. Said it was the best Coors he's ever had.

I was too drunk to tell him the truth.

Is that like the people who call every soft drink a Coke?

Brilliant article, just an errant metaphor from perfect...

Cheers!

The people? Who you callin' the people?

For the last time it is called Soda; not Pop people!

Right on! Have a Cola on me.

 

[CGVT]

Coke?

What flavor do you have?

You weren't drunk enough. The best truth comes at about .20

So much for my innovative "Hop Candy" idea. Looks like it has been done already

With a few tweaks, that's a real possibility!

To be fair I think the metaphor kind of makes sense. They're calling "Morons" raw materials and then equating them with the raw materials in beer.

Look how confused that map is - I am in Durham County, NC (where it says "Coke" is prevalent), and don't know anyone here that calls all soda that. Most people I know here call it "soda" generically.

My dad worked for the Coca-Cola company for 30+ years when I was a kid. He called it Pop. He drove a Pop truck. The place he went to everyday was the Pop Plant. So, if my Pop say's it's called pop, I'll believe him! No matter what that map says.

 

[unionrdr]

Yup. Ditto around here...

The Cokeheads moved to the next county.

So what do the people in the "other" category call it?

 

[timdillon36]

So what do the people in the "other" category call it?

Soft drinks, Pepsi, fizzy water.

I have a subset of relatives in Virginia that call all carbonated soda pops "drink". At dinner they ask "Do you want tea, milk, or drink?" and I guess whatever "drink" is opened is what you get.

The best: "Sodey-pop."

Drink comes in red, orange, and purple. Aka "drank".

Nonono, they mean carbonated beverages like Coke & Mountain Dew, not Kool-Aid (or the cheap knockoffs).

 

[Wolfdust]

In Minnesotait is pop however, in my travels some people don't know what pop is. Then of course in others places if you say coke and well that's all you get. Now if you say soda you might get some comments and strange looks but everyone does know what you are talking about. So I say soda as matter of habit now.

When I was in Miami I asked a guy on the corner where I could get some coke and the place he sent me didn't have pop or soda...

 

[unionrdr]

Ha, yeah, in Miami...

hate the purple drank. tastes too dark

 

[NickTheGreat]

So what do the people in the "other" category call it?

Dr. Pepper, for your cola drinks (Pepsi, Coke, RC)

Coke for your fruity ones (Mtn Dew, Sunkist, Squirt)

Pepsi for your clear ones (Sprite, Sierra Mist)

Sunkist for your Dr Pepper clones.
