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

[GBlair88]

Lemonade or whatever brand name it happens to be.

 

[Jestere]

soft drink. from aus!

 

[SuccessAndBiscuts]

Soft Drink or whatever drink it is..Coke, Sunkist, Pepsi, Solo etc

This, also occasionally "Ginger" or "juice" is used.

 

[Hardzero]

since i mostly drink Coca Cola products i just call it coke but sometimes soda will pop out.

 

[spinFX]

In Australia we say "soft drink".

 

[iBananaCrazy]

I usually just say coke, since everyone I know drinks coke.

 

[TheTim]

from what i've witnessed, the only people i know that have called it pop, or soda-pop, middle aged people or older.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Australia, we call it Soft Drink. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it "Soda" or "Pop" unless they were American.

 

[revolutionaification]

Scottish opinion here. They're either 'fizzy drinks', 'soft drinks' or (pretty sure this is only Scottish) 'ginger'.

 

[JamesBr]

I just refer to it as "carbonated sugar water". Not as a pejorative, I just enjoy using overly complex names for common things. My humor is normally only funny to me.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Sodie Pop, from a bygone era

 

[Merkavar]

i call it soft drink or fizzy drink and everyone i know does too. that covers coke and fanta and sprite and all those other fizzy non alcoholic drinks

 

[OneOfTheMichael's]

Fizzies
.........or a 'sealed carbonated beverage'

 

[Sacman]

I call them fountain drinks...<.<

 

[Anarchemitis]

Do Germans really call it Lemonad?

 

[bulbasaur765]

Soda. "Soda Pop" and "Pop" are older terms. Othertimes you could call it a "soft drink."

 

[crudus]

"Soft drink" is what I use. Using either word makes my blood boil. I just don't like the words.

 

[elcamino41383]

It's Soda, goddammit! Haha, this is one of those stupid little things that irritates the hell out of me. Like when people say "q-pon" instead of "coopon" when saying "coupon." Another favorite is when people call "mini-golf" > "putt-putt." Drives me bonkers. I know it's stupid to let it bother me but it's those stupid little things that push my buttons!

But I digress, for me its soda, or whatever the brand name happens to be.

Australia, we call it Soft Drink.

Although people will sometimes use 'fizzy drink' when they're talking to young kids (under 5 or so). Mostly old people I've heard say it, admittedly, and they can say some pretty weird shit at times.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it "Soda" or "Pop" unless they were American.

Yeah, if you asked for a glass of soda here you'd get a glass of soda water. If you asked for a glass of pop you'd get a puzzled expression... or possibly someone's grandfather in a glass.

I like being asked for a coke, then I reply with a specific kind of "coke".
Let's face it though. We all call it Mountain Dew.
