Poll: What do you call it? Soda, cola, pop, etc...

[Slash Dementia]

I've always called it 'soda', though most people I've known call it 'pop.' Pop just seems a little too...I don't know, playful for my tastes.

 

[Peteron]

I call it suuuuuperrrr!! In all seriousness, I normally just call it coke, even if it is Pepsi.

 

[SBoggart]

Soda, because I'm a Bay Stater, godamnit.

 

[AcidicR]

I call it pop.

 

[duchaked]

Soda. Always soda. "pop" just makes me think of the 50s too much XD
I'm in North Carolina.

hahaa likewise
I suppose it'd be the same for the folk at the Escapist HQ

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

Coke, UK here.

Soda means something different here (carbonated (fizzy) water).

... also for some stupid reason schweppes is lemonade somehow.

 

[Quazimofo]

i call it either soda or cola, and i live in chicago. though my parents come from the suburbs and cleveland ohio so that may have some effect (since i was pretty antisocial till high school, so didnt get much influence outside of my family and school, which was a private catholic school with the same 70 kids in my class for all 9 years i was there)

here in Scotland, all non alcaholic, cold drinks are referred to as "juice". yes, even coke.

 

[Bandy]

I'm from Canada so everyone I know calls it pop.

+1 Pop!

 

[Booze Zombie]

Soda, because it's just the most appealing word, to me.

 

[loc978]

being from a "pop" state which has been experiencing an influx of people from "soda" states for a couple of decades... and having lived on three different continents in my life... I fluctuate between calling it "soda", "pop" and "soda-pop".

...I'll never understand people who call 7-up "cola" or "coke", though.

In Michigan we call it 'pop'
Although soda is acceptable.

 

[Tharwen]

I don't, really...

I just call it whatever the brand name is.

 

[HentMas]

here in MX, we all call it Coke, funny thing, the mayor players are "coke" and "pepsi" but if i go into a "pepsi only" restaurant and ask for a coke, they immediately tell us "It would be Pepsi, is that ok??"

and even more funny most people will say "no thank you, i would rather have an apple soda"

Other: because in britain we call the drink by what its called. If its coca cola we call it coke, if its dr pepper we call it dr pepper, if its lilt we call it lilt, if its irn bru we call it irn bru and so on.
Unless the 'it' you are reffering to is just coka cola and not all fizzy drinks, in which case just coke.

while i am not in britain this is by far how it should be, call it by it's god damn brand name god dammit.

if i do ever generalize the statement because i really don't know what flavor i want, i will just say "soda"

Go Michigan!

I will never understand people who call it coke, because then how do you order a coke? The waitresses always give my mom a hard time when she orders a diet coke.
"What kind?"
"Diet Coke"
"What kind of Diet Coke?"
"The one that says Diet Coke on the bottle/can!"

My nana and papa call it tonic, my folks call it soda... I call it "soder" cuz my voice sounds really weird.

 

[stone0042]

I call it pop, though I've been told western new york is one of very few areas in the northeastern US that does so
