Assimilation?

Conversation today in the car on the way back to work from lunch.

Adam: I like those 7-Up Lofts.

Kim: Yeah. Its hard to believe that's where they used to make 7-Up, the building is so small.

Adam: Well people didn't used to drink so much coke.


Okay the problem with this is that I used "coke" to refer to all sodas in the same fashion that Texans and most southerners do. I resisted assimilation in Arizona where everyone called soft drinks "pop." I must preserve my original dialect. I've already caved into using "y'all" but thats all you're going to get from me Texas. I must resist. Soda Soda Soda Soda.
