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

[Dango]

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

 

[Dags90]

Pop.

I've actually been recognized as an Ohioan for calling it pop.

I still don't get how Ohio manages to be eastern timezone. You guys are so clearly Midwestern. I mean seriously, "pop"?

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

I call it soda. Pop sounds weird to me.

 

[moretimethansense]

Us lot up our way call it fizzy, fizzy drink or occasionally fizzy pop,
Or more appropriatly by it's proper brand name.

 

[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.

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.
