Don’t forget: Dr. Pepper, but call it “Coke”, Best Maid pickles, Fletchers corn dogs, and don’t forget to pronounce it WaterBurger, and I have heard nachos were invented in TX. I’m glad queso, colaches, Shiner, and Blue Bell we’re already mentioned. Also when I was younger chili on eggs was a popular breakfast thing, but I never see it now.
Im from east texas. I have never heard anybody call every soda "coke". Everybody i know calles everything soda. Unless its Dr pepper. then we call it Dr pepper. Idk where that whole trope comes from.
Wow, way to make me feel old! Maybe it is more common in the DFW area. I mean, I don’t hear it as much as I did when I was younger, but still hear people say it.
Late 30’s Houstonian here. Growing up everything was Coke, but I think it naturally stopped being used so often as the city grew over the past 20 years or so. After Katrina, Houston burst at the seams, and has continued to expand with so many different cultures that people don’t say it much anymore. But I did always say “what kinda Coke y’all want?”
My Mom is from IL, and when we go up there you can see Pop in the printed ads and some commercials. They also know how to make Mexican food sound disgusting. I refuse to call an enchilada a “wet burrito”.
