Poll: Do you call it Soda, Pop or something else?

[Zeriah]

Soft Drink

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I always say Coke, even though I personally like Pepsi much more than I like coke.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Australian, I believe we say "Soft Drink" or it's actual name.

 

[Evilsanta]

Well, here in Sweden we called it Läsk.

Ninja'd!

Ummm..Yeah this or what it is called like Cola or Fanta.

 

[thylasos]

Fizzy drinks. Or just by the brand-name. As a rule, though, I just drink coffee, water, or a myriad of alcoholic beverages.

 

[Fantomkilla]

ew, i hate the word pop, im from england, and all the little chavs (council estate kids) call it 'pop'. it sends a shiver down my spine

 

[thereverend7]

Soda 99% of the time, but sometimes my northern comes out and I say soda pop.

 

[tthor]

pop. when i actually think about it, pop seems like a silly word to describe a carbonated beverage. and yet, the word soda sounds so very wrong on my tongue. lol

 

[tthor]

From my 19 years of experience, I'd say that here in the midwest US, we say Pop.

I thought the same growing up, then came to find my father is the only person I know who says that.
Soda wins handily in my corner of the Midwest.

in my town in the upper midwest, i've almost never heard people call it soda, its always called 'pop' here.

Soft drink, that's my equivalent to soda or pop. Though I rarely say soft drink, I normally ask for a specific soft drink, eg: coke, fanta or sprite.

 

[Mr.Amakir]

I call it "Läsk".

 

[Betancore]

I call them soft drinks, but to be honest, I usually just specify which one. I don't hear soda or pop used very often around here.

 

[fgdfgdgd]

I just call them fizzy drinks, something that one of my american friends took quite a shining to, so they're spreading that there, keep an eye out for it.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

Typically I stick to the name of the specific drink ie Doctor Pepper, Pepsi.... but if I use an umberalla term as someone put it I call them Sodas

 

[JackKrauserFtw]

because beer is a wide variety, and nearly all of them taste identical, and those that don't you would ask specifically for it. 'Fanta' can fall under many categories, simply because its the widest orange flavored soft drink, everyone knows what Fanta is, and if they dont have it, they just say no

Never has a non-beer drinker been so obvious.

ive drunk beer before, cheap ones and more expensive ones, I don't see the point as it all tastes terrible and all tastes the same

 

[Andantil]

I just call them carbonated drinks. When I am referring to any specific drink I always call it by name.

 

[ChaoticLegion]

If I'm drinking Coke I call it Coke
If I'm drinking Mountain Dew, I call it Mountain Dew
If I'm drinking Sprite, I call it Sprite
If I'm drinking Tango, I call it Tango...

I think you can see where I'm going with this, I never realy use the word pop, soda or any other mass incorporative word for bicarbonated drinks, I just call it by its brand name so as to avoid all confusion

 

[minarri]

I'm from western Pennsylvania in the States, so I will never call it anything but pop.

(With the exception of orange soda, for which I can thank Kenan & Kel)
