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

[JJMUG]

I was wondering while doing a paper for novels and tales, and drinking a cold mtn. Dew. How many call it pop soda or something else.

 

[Marter]

"Soda" or "Pop", depending on what I feel like calling it at the moment.

 

[SonicKoala]

I say soda, as I like the way that word sounds.

 

[Wing Dairu]

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

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Fizzy drinks I guess, but I usually refer to them by the brand I'm currently drinking

"That Devil Drink That The Young'ns Are Drinking"
Usually just soda, really.
Sometimes pop.

 

[PureChaos]

we don't have Mnt Dew in the UK

I rarely, if ever, use umbrella terms for soft drinks. I'll always refer to it by the name/brand, "Imma go get a Dr. Pepper", "I want some Irn Bru", sorta thing. Failing that just a simple "I need a drink".

"inferior non-tea 'drink'" yeah, them's irony quotes around drink but, back before i stopped drinking fizzy drinks due to stomach problems, i called it soda.

 

[PleasantKenobi]

Rarely use such a term, but when I do here in the UK, I call them 'soft drinks' or 'fizzy drinks'.

 

[Patrick Dare]

I think it depends largely on where you live.

We do! But only in small amounts

OT:
I just call it whatever it is i.e Coke or Sprite.

I found once but it was Arabic or something, not sure if it would be any different to the US stuff but it was sweet as all hell. I love sugar as much as the next guy but by the time I was halfway down the bottle it was like drinking pure syrup.

 

[ExplosivePerson]

In general I call it soda, but if I'm talking about a brand name I'll call it that name.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

Depends what drink it is.
Sprite/7up/etc I usually call lemonade and coca cola/pepsi/dr pepper I call coke.

 

[Judgement101]

We call it "Super Fizzy Fun Time Fun Drink!"...........soda.

 

[Biosophilogical]

You mean soft drinks? That's what we Aussie's call carbonated beverages. Though if you mean Mountain Dew, we call it Mountain Dew.

I call it pop but im pretty sure it largely depends on what country and part of that country your from and im from the USA in Michigan
