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

[Hashime]

it is pop, I do not know anyone who calls it something else.

 

[The_Echo]

I call them by their specific name.

 

[newfoundsky]

I've been in restuarants were I literally had to go through a list for any one to know what I was talking about. For example, I once tried ordering Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, Mt Dew, Cola, Pop, Soda, Can, and finally, exsaperated, asked for an RC and was thusly served.

So I call it what the locals call it. . . until they make fun of me for being a yankee. Then I call the fucker a pop and they will deal with it.

Off topic:

RC Cola is the best fizzy concoction I have ever tasted. You should try it some time.

 

[Zhukov]

Round these parts it's known as "soft drink".

 

[blankedboy]

coke.

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPNOTEVERYDRINKINTHEWORLDISYOURSHITTYRIPOFFOFCOLA

I just say the brand. If I'm making a generalisation, then 'soft drink', but I barely ever say that.

 

[Julianking93]

Pepsi.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

I Live in ky where i hear either one or both

 

[-Samurai-]

I call it pop. I don't like how soda sounds.

 

[infohippie]

"Soda" and "pop" both sound retarded. I call it soft drink, or just "a drink." Or a descriptive name (Coke, lemonade, etc)

 

[Dimensional Vortex]

We call it soft drink over here, or just he brand of soft drink it is.

 

[Denizen]

Unless I'm differentiating between any other soft drinks, i casually refer to it(being any general soft drink) as (or a) coke.

 

[TilMorrow]

Fizzy!!!

 

[fletch_talon]

I have to laugh at people saying they don't "blanket term" these drinks.

It leaves me imagining them asking for directions in a supermarket.
"Can you please tell me where to find the coke, pepsi, mt dew, fanta, sprite, dr pepper...
7 up, solo, sunkist... and generic carbonated beverages?"

Australian, we call 'em softdrinks.

 

[Jelly ^.^]

Australia.
Soft drink.

 

[Lim3]

Yeh, as has already been stated in Australia we call it soft drink or fizzy drink.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Yeqah, tends to be fizzy drink or soft drink in England. (nearly said the UK then remembered the amount of slang the Scots, Welsh, Irish have for things, especially the English people who lump them all together!)

However, any kinda cola invariably ends up getting called a 'coke', whether its Pepsi or tesco's own brand 'value' fizzy ditchwater. Just as most people called anything that plays mp3s an 'ipod' as it's just easier and quicker than 'mp3 player'.

 

[JohanGasMask]

I call it "Gos" witch means VOLCANIC ERUPTION! Seriously...

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

[Arduras]
