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

[Koeryn]

I alternate between 'coke' and 'soda'. I don't actually LIKE Coke.

 

[Xojins]

I call it soda. I don't know why but it annoys me when people call it pop. Anything else doesn't bother me though...

 

[krseyffert]

We call it by it's name...

coke = coke
sprite = sprite
fanta = fanta

what do you do if you want to refer to any pop? do you just start listing it out?

"Do you have any Sprite? no? Pepsi? no? Coke? no? Fanta? no? Mountain Dew? no? Nesbitt Grape? no? Nehi Grape? no? Crush Orange? no? Dr. Pepper? no? Seven Up? no? Sierra Mist? no? Royal Crown Cola? no? Jolt Cola? no? A & W Root Beer? no? Hines Root Beer? no? Mug Root Beer? no? Goya Ginger Beer? no? Mr. Pibb? no? Tab? no? Squirt? no??"

pretty much, but we only have coke, pepsi, sprite, fanta(orange/grape/pineapple), seven up, and the green mountain dew...

 

[Nabohs]

I don't really call it anything, usually I will just call it a beverage or if I'm asking someone, I usually say "you want anything to drink?"

I'm from Ontario, Canada

 

[Scarim Coral]

I generally refer the brand drink for that type of drink (e.g. I say cream soda for that, Coca Cola, Pepsi etc) however most of the time I will just say "Coke".

Carbonated Drinking Beverage

 

[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)

 

[Thwarted]

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.
