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

[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.

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.

 

[Death God]

Pop. Why complicate it any more than just give it one syllable.

 

[willsham45]

you call it what it is coke, fanta, sprite etc etc etc

 

[Orange643]

I live in the greater Cincinatti area, and here it's pop. No exceptions.

 

[smithy_2045]

Soft Drink, or the brand name of the particular drink.

 

[BlastedTheWorm]

Juice. I know it's not juice, but that's just what I call it.

 

[EarthBoundRules]

I've never heard anybody call it "soda" where I live (Ontario). Everyone says pop.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Soft drink. I come from a place that uses all interchangeably except "Coke" as a term for a carbonated beverage.

 

[TheJulz]

Carbonated Drank

 

[GLo Jones]

The amount of rage this thread causes me is almost unbearable. I despise the words 'soda' and 'pop' when used to describe any kind of drink. No idea why.

Fucking americans, stop coming up with your own terms dammit!

 

[WOPR]

I say soda
my friends say pop

I'm on the west coast
they're all on the east coast, near the south

apparently that has something to do with it

 

[PhiMed]

coke.

Ditto. Southeastern US, by any chance?

 

[EBHughsThe1st]

Sometimes it goes by "Cola" or "A Coke" or "Soda". It all depends. Coke is a somewhat universal term that I use instead of Pop or Soda.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Soda. Most people around me would call it "Coke" even if the beverage is not a Coke-a-Cola.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I call them by their brand names.
