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

[Maldark]

Fizzy drink or soft drink. Very very few people use soda in Australia, and I can't say i've ever heard someone say pop.

 

[PentagramSpawn]

because beer is a wide variety, and nearly all of them taste identical, and those that don't you would ask specifically for it. 'Fanta' can fall under many categories, simply because its the widest orange flavored soft drink, everyone knows what Fanta is, and if they dont have it, they just say no

Never has a non-beer drinker been so obvious.

 

[Axzarious]

I call it whatever I wish to, with "Carbonated Beverage" being one of my favorites.

 

[TrollOgerElf]

Using a generic name for the bubble drinks i use soda.
And pop makes my eye twitch ever time i read or hear it.

 

[Count Igor]

I call it a fizzy drink. Or if I know its name, that.

 

[krseyffert]

Here we just call the drinks by their names, but if we're referring to a lot of different types as one, we say 'soft drinks'

 

[geldonyetich]

Usually a whole lot more specific, reason being that saying I want a soda or pop, is way too ambiguous. I don't want just any carbonated alchemical concoction, chances are I have my heart set on a particular kind, e.g. Diet Coke. Sometimes I'd even have to specify more specifically than that, e.g. the caffeinated Diet Coke, not the Coke Zero. All they have a Diet Pepsi? Yuck: get me a water.

 

[Cazza]

Soft drink or the name of the drink we are refering to.

 

[Zeriah]

Soft Drink

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I always say Coke, even though I personally like Pepsi much more than I like coke.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Australian, I believe we say "Soft Drink" or it's actual name.

 

[Evilsanta]

Well, here in Sweden we called it Läsk.

Ninja'd!

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

 

[thylasos]

Fizzy drinks. Or just by the brand-name. As a rule, though, I just drink coffee, water, or a myriad of alcoholic beverages.

 

[Fantomkilla]

ew, i hate the word pop, im from england, and all the little chavs (council estate kids) call it 'pop'. it sends a shiver down my spine

 

[thereverend7]

Soda 99% of the time, but sometimes my northern comes out and I say soda pop.

 

[tthor]

pop. when i actually think about it, pop seems like a silly word to describe a carbonated beverage. and yet, the word soda sounds so very wrong on my tongue. lol

 

[tthor]

From my 19 years of experience, I'd say that here in the midwest US, we say Pop.

I thought the same growing up, then came to find my father is the only person I know who says that.
Soda wins handily in my corner of the Midwest.

in my town in the upper midwest, i've almost never heard people call it soda, its always called 'pop' here.

 

[x0ny]

Soft drink, that's my equivalent to soda or pop. Though I rarely say soft drink, I normally ask for a specific soft drink, eg: coke, fanta or sprite.

 

[Mr.Amakir]

I call it "Läsk".

 

[Betancore]

I call them soft drinks, but to be honest, I usually just specify which one. I don't hear soda or pop used very often around here.
