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

[Sparrow]

coke.

I was beaten to my one word answer by a person with the same name as me. Strange. Or just a coincidence.

 

[drisky]

Tonic! No wait never mind soda.

Soda. Saying "pop" in New York will get you some funny looks.

What part of New York, here in Buffalo we say pop and give funny looks to those who say soda.

 

[justnotcricket]

I tend to call it by the product name - failing that, 'fizzy drink'. Must be a kiwi thing.

Only a bit north of NYC, the only people who call it pop seriously around here are hipsters.

 

[gibboss28]

I call the drink by its name

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Soft drink or fizzy drink.

 

[CK76]

Coke is what I call a fizzy drink, like hoover is a vacuum.

Of course I generally only drink Ale8.

 

[Quazimofo]

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".

same, unless it is one i dont like (dr pepper, mtn dew, 7up, mr pib, and one or two others i cant think of) in which case i refer to it as either crap or "inferior non yummalicious beverage"

 

[Lambi]

Usually call it by the brand that it's named, otherwise soda, or as it is in Icelandic, gos.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Really? People still call it "pop"? Because last time I checked, nobodies used that phrase since like, the fifties. So I call it soda. Or the name of the specific soda.

 

[A random person]

Soda, because pretty much everyone around me uses that term. Since it's a regional thing, I'm a southerner.

 

[Thundero13]

I just don't, we don't have "soda pop" in this country or if we do then absolutely nobody calls it that.

 

[Mr Thin]

Soft drink of course! I had no idea that was an Australian thing.

And it goes without saying that I also refer to them by brand. But for a generalised term, it's always been soft drink to me.

 

[Hauntghost20]

Mine is just soft drink.

 

[albear]

i call it by its name

i.e coke is coke
lemonade is lemonade
fanta is fanta
obvious is obvious (not actually a drink i just like saying that )

 

[nitro27]

Coke. No matter the brand (though Coca-Cola makes the best cokes.) it is Coke. If referring to milk, It will be referred to as Coke.

 

[Eumersian]

Soda, my whole life.

 

[SpAc3man]

Everyone in New Zealand calls it fizzy, fizzy drink or refers to it by the name of the drink.

Isn't soda/pop more of an American thing?

EDIT: sometimes soft drink too

 

[Ranooth]

Coke or Pepsi, anyone who calls it pop around me usually receives some form of punch or glare.
