Hey, This is Kind of Weird: The Other Day My Nephews (9 & 12 years old)...?!


Question:

Hey, This is Kind of Weird: The Other Day My Nephews (9 & 12 years old)...?

Wanted soda, so I said,

"Do you want Coca-Cola?"

and they said, "What's that?!"

And I said, "Uh, Coke?"

And they said yeah!

Geesh! It's not like I'm Grandma, I'm in my 30s!


Answers:
Try living in the south and calling it a pop. "Ya want a pop?" My friends have wondered if I was going to hit them!

*lol* That's brilliant!

what's the quistion?

i'm in my 30's too...and i say coca-cola also. you're not alone

it is because you used the proper name coca cola but everybody know it as coke

LOL Too funny...But ...Do not feel old even the commercials for "Coca Cola" NOW say Coke!

I'm 30 and I call it coke, I probably would have looked at you funny too...not many people call it coca-cola.

wow

nope they are kids,its coke now you know not soda pop either,lol
i was think about kids drinking o'douls before i read the question=0)

yeah everything is abreviated these days....like when my kids text me they say how RU? at first I was like How RU I don't know what RU is...then my son explained Are You....Sheesh these kids and their codes.....l;ike the song says....remember when coke was coke and a screw was a screw.....

i think they might have just never heard of it before, but that is weird im 11 and ive heard of coco-cola before where do you live becasue i might know them i have 12 year olds in my class so well i live in hingham emial me @ irish711colleen@yahoo.com

Perhaps your nephews are misunderstanding what Coca-Cola was, and what it is now. Back in the time when Coca-Cola was created, they used cocaine in the drink, to cause a desire for it, but now it's simply caffine. If I understand your question right, perhaps they think it is okay for them to have cocaine? I am not sure if your nephews understand when you said, Coke, that they knew what you meant. I hope to heck they did!

They probably never saw the label before.

lol that's funny i guess they never read the can! haha

thats funny!!!
lol

Don't go to Mexico and ask for a soda because they think your asking for something else.

Wow thats sad....I mean not because you said Coca-Cola but because they didn't know what it meant.
