Poll: What do you call it? Soda, cola, pop, etc...

[Shoelip]

I call it unpleasant. The bubbles hurt my nose and it doesn't taste good either. Considering how bad it is for you I just don't get the appeal. Guess it's like beer or something.

Pop because I'm a northeastern hick.

Just because your post does not immediately appear does not mean it didn't go through. If you don't see it as soon as you post it, wait for other posts to appear before you try again. Otherwise you end up appearing to be a spambot ;-)

In other news, I call it soda here in Missouri. Always have, always will.

My whole family said pop growing up (parents from the midwest), now I'm the only one who doesn't call it soda; although I haven't said pop in forever, it's the correct name of the drink for me now.

In my home town of Norfolk Virgina nearly everyone called it soda, while out here in Tulsa Oklahoma they call it pop. I, myself, call it soda when I'm not referring to a specific brand (i.e. Sunkist, Crush, Dr. Pepper etc.). Hearing it called pop or soda pop grates on my nerves.

 

[Uber Evil]

Soda, and New England right here, New Hampshire more specifically.

 

[MetaMop]

Usually call it 'soda' in my head, but people where I am often refer to it as 'soft drink'. I don't know why, it's less timid than juice or squash.

Pop, being Canadian it is unacceptable to call it anything else.

Second, also because Coke is a brand of soft drink, not the soft drink itself. Pop.

Though it's not commonly used (I'm also Canadian) Soda I hear (boarder city).


I didn't know others called it "Coke" or "Cola" Those are a brand and a type. of Soft drink... Isn't that like calling video games in general "Nintendo" or any type of book "fantasy"?

Canadians call it pop end of story. Although I also call it diabetes in a can upon occasion

 

[standokan]

Cola related things I call cola, sparkly drinks in common (cola, sisi, 7up, etc)is called "fris" in my area of living, it transalates to fresh.

Soft Drink/s

*Bro fists australian's*

Why do people call it pop? I've never heard that one before.

 

[HerrBobo]

Brand name, if I wanna Coke, I ask for a Coke, a Sprite, I ask for a Sprite, ect.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

We call it soda here in Hawaii. Never heard it being called anything else.

 

[CManator]

What if you use combinations like sodapop or cocacola or pureheavenlyblissotherpleasespecify?

OT i have a need to be specific with my words so I always say the brand name and flavor (as in sprite or cherry pepsi) but if I'm speaking generally about carbonated beverages i randomly say soda or pop, There's no real consistent term where I live (Colorado)

Is anyone else reminded of Super Troopers when Farva orders a litre of cola?

Also, am I the only one who gets annoyed when I order a coke ant the waiter is all "Sorry, we only have pepsi" >:O Well get me a ****ing pepsi then, smartass!

 

[hopeneverdies]

I call it pop, only because
A)I live in Northern Kentucky
B)My parents are from Southern Ohio

It's a regional thing.

 

[Knusper]

I call it Coke. In England, no one really calls it pop and soda usually means carbonated water, but not necessarily sweetened, at least in the South-East anyway.

 

[thylasos]

"A fizzy drink". East Anglia, UK.

 

[Sneeze]

I either refer to it by name or just say "a drink", rarely say pop or soda or the likes.
