Pinch, poke, you owe me a coke.
Have you ever heard that phrase? It’s a silly thing some kids say (and some adults too), when two people say the exact same thing at the same time.
For example:
Person A and person B both say at the same time: “Glee is my favorite TV show.”
Then, Person A (or B) will quickly say, “Pinch, poke, you owe me a coke.”
Sometimes with kids there might be a little pinching or poking, but nothing serious. And rarely does anyone ever really get a free coke. 🙂
I heard about the phrase for the first time. It’s a little mischievous delightful phrase, isn’t it?
Interesting, Thanks!
Can I use other drinks or things in the phrase insted of a Coke?
Well I guess you could use a different drink, but then it wouldn’t rhyme. Poke and coke rhyme, so it sounds better that way. But, maybe you could change it more like: Pinch, pine, you owe me some wine. LOL. Yeah, it just doesn’t sound as good. 🙂 Thanks for your comment.
well , I left a comment , it didn’t show up 🙁
so , let me do it again 🙂
” seems you are getting on posting these days , very glad to see you post a lot ! “
Don’t you just hate when that happens! i.e. technology makes you do something over. 🙂 Yes, I started to post again. I stopped for 1 week to go on vacation, but I hope to start posting again tonight!

This Is Kinda Random, lol, But Is There Any Type Of Reply “Person B (Or A)” Can Say To Get Out Of Owing A Coke ^_^ lol
[Just Wondering]
Sbrownie – That’s kind of complicated. You can say “no backs” if you are person who said that you are owed a coke. This means that the other person cannot get out of it. It ‘seals’ the deal!
Joseph,
Yes, you are right it is kind of like jinx.
The answer to Pinch, poke, you owe me a coke! is:
It’s all your falt, you owe me a malt!
I like that! I’ve never heard it before, but things are different in different regions. It’s so catchy! p.s. falt–>fault
My friend surprised me with you cought me of guard u owe me a sprite. That’s right after I pinch poke her lol I thought that was funny
That’s so funny! “owe me a Sprite!” I’ll have to use that one!
As a reply to “Pinch, poke, you owe me a coke!” you could say “Circle, dot, I do not!” 😀
circle square thats not fair
I just used this in a Skype IM conversation with a Canadian colleague who didn’t understand the reference (we had both typed almost exactly the same thing and pressed Enter at the same moment). I did laugh at your statement “Sometimes with kids there might be a little pinching or poking, but nothing serious. And rarely does anyone ever really get a free coke.” Growing up in Southern California in the late 60’s and early 70’s the pinching and poking were absolutely required and we did collect our free Cokes – it was like a matter of contract law.
lol
If some only say “jinx you owe me a coke” to reverse it you could say “that’s not right you owe me a sprite”
I’ve heard the Sprite one, but I’ve heard it as a reply to pinch, poke. It goes, “Knick and bite, you owe me a sprite.”
