I'm exhausted and Dr. Pepper is apparently illegal. Please shoot me.

You're in Coca-Cola territory, li'l lady. Don't be mentionin' that upstart beverage from Waco, Texas in Atlanta, unless you want to be tagged as a Yankee and run out o' town on a rail.

Because ... Waco ... is such a ... Northern city... ?

[wingedelf.livejournal.com]

No, because Coca-Cola's from Atlanta. It's a challenge to find Pepsi products there.

And to further clarify- folks from Atlanta know that you can't get anything that's not Coca-Cola there easily, and if you're not from there, chances are you're a Yankee.

Aha -- that fills the gap. I knew that Coca-Cola was from Atlanta. :)

(Are we really Yankees over here? I've never really been clear on that, since I thought Yankees were New Englanders...)

In Georgia, if you don't have a corn-pone Southren accent, you're probably a Yankee.

No, Jeff Foxworthy isn't completely over the top, just a slight exaggeration of how nauseating many folk in the Old South are.
