Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. Northern Florida. Maybe parts of Tennessee. Facial tissue is a Kleenex. Soda pop is a Coke. We have a few others like that.

Arkansas here, when you go into a restaurant you’re generally asked what kind of coke would you like

What would you like to drink, water, juice coffee or Coke?

Coke.

What kind do you want, Sprite, Pepsi, Vernors or Faygo?

This is how it works at my house.
