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

[Spawny0908]

I'm from Pittsburgh so it's pop here. call it soda and we instantly know you ain't from here.

 

[scar_47]

usually pop every once in a while I'll call it soda or soda pop

 

[Benny Blanco]

I call it soda, but my parents either say "pop" or the slightly odd "minerals".

 

[Something Amyss]

Soda. Around here, it's called a "coke" as well, so sometimes I call a soda a "coke." Even if it's not a Coke.

 

[Shadowsole]

I call it what it is, Any cola is called by its name (as in coke pepsi) None of this soda or pop crap for australia

Soft drink as well

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

I call it soda.

 

[JackKrauserFtw]

how about you call is whatever its called. I.E you call Coke Coke and Fanta Fanta

 

[Powertool]

I call it poison.

 

[PlowmanMk]

In Australia it's called 'Soft Drink'. That's what I call it, but I usually refer to the drinks by their name (Pepsi, Coke etc)

 

[MagicMouse]

Soda or the name of the specific drink, usually abreviated.

Dr. Pepper = D-Pep
Mountain Dew = Dew (Note: this is the most common reference used as Mountain Dew is only a few steps short from being a deity in my family)

 

[zehydra]

Eastern PA, we call it Soda.

 

[Just_in_time]

Soda or on special occasion Fizzy bubblech

 

[Aleate]

Its soda for me, but to quote my favorite uncle~
"Can I has my Sodi Pawp? <:3"

 

[Yopaz]

we don't have Mnt Dew in the UK

We don't have it in Norway either. We had it for a few years before they stopped selling it. I really miss it.

Since English isn't my first language I don't use the English word to describe my beverage. I usually go by coke or pepsi since that's what I drink most of the time.

 

[spiffleh]

In my part of Canada.. everyone uses pop.

It really urks me when people call soda/pop/soft drinks by 'coke'. It's one thing to say kleenex to mean tissue, because brand isn't important for your choice. But when people make coke and pop synonymous, it's just stupid. Coke != root beer != gignerale != dr. pepper or whatever. Doesn't this conversation strike you as odd?

Server: What you like to drink today?
Customer: Coke.
Server: What kind?
Customer: .....Coke.

[Arduras]

when us in Aussland aren't drink beeeer, we drink Soft Drink... because any drink that isn't partially alcoholic is considered soft in Australia... Water? that beyond soft...

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

The brand name every time. "Fizzy drink" seems to have carried from my childhood, and if it's still pop. Pop at a push. If I seriously can't think of the name and don't know if it's carbonated.

 

[mikespoff]

Soft drinks, as a category.

But generally refer to them by name: I like Coke but I dislike Pepsi, so I tend to be specific when I talk about them.

 

[Vykrel]

fizzy bubblech

nah i just call it soda

 

[The Seldom Seen Kid]

I call it by name: "Pepsi, 7UP, Crush, etc."

Except for Coca-Cola, I call that Coke, for no particular reason.
