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

[binvjoh]

Anyone else who thought of Pokémon when they read the title?

Because I typically only drink one kind of soda (Cola), I usually just refer to it as Coke, or Cola.

My husband enjoys more variety though, and he calls it pop, so that's the term that I find myself using when I'm asking him what he wants from the shop.

Läsk för fan!

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

I call drinks by their name, mountain dew is mountain dew, pepsi is pepsi, coke is coke, generic cheap store brand ginger beer is ginger beer.. etc

 

[Pikeperch]

Well, here in Sweden we called it Läsk.

Ninja'd!

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

Am I the only swede here who calls it "Dricka"?
I guess it depends on which "end" of Läskedryck you take.

In english, I tend to refer to it as soda. I should probably stop that, it seems to be ripe for misunderstanding.

 

[SoulSalmon]

I always tend to call a drink by it's name, or a shortened version of it's name

 

[Dana22]

Flavored fizzy drink.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Limsa[footnote]Finnish[/footnote].

Now when I think of it, I usually tend to call it by the brand: Fanta, Sprite and so on. The aforementioned is a name for the common drink though. Around here at least.

 

[TankCopter]

Soft drink's what we call it in Aussieland.

 

[El Poncho]

Juice, fizzy juice. But I just use the brand name of the drink I want...

 

[Meanmoose]

brand name or brus ^^ (Norwegian)

 

[Ramare]

I call it by generalized name.

Cola.
Orange flavor.
Lemon-lime stuff.
Root beer.
Etc.

Although I still have preferences. I like Coke, but will still drink Pepsi, and I enjoy Mellow Yellow the most out of it's vaguely dual-fruit-flavored classification.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

fizz. weird eh

 

[TheWizzerd]

Just call it coke or lemonade etc. depending on what it is.

 

[Triscut900]

we don't have Mnt Dew in the UK

We do! But only in small amounts

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

but you do have lucozade which is just as good

 

[Estarc]

I'm an Australian, and I call them soft drinks.

 

[DTWolfwood]

Fountain drink

or simply "coke" even when it isn't

 

[Berserker119]

I've never heard anyone call it 'soda' before. Interesting.

 

[Veldel]

I call it soda,pop,fizzy water and other names it depends on how I feel

 

[jigilojoe]

In England we call it what it is...
