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

[THEMILKMAN]

We call it by it's name...

coke = coke
sprite = sprite
fanta = fanta

But what do you say when you use it in a general sense? As in: "What's your favorite (insert term here)?"

 

[Neonbob]

I sincerely doubt that, my dear Shock.
For it shall always be soda to me

I don't know. I can be quite...persuasive.
[sup]Hehe. Back to this >.> [/sup]

Not persuasive enough! I can promise you that!
[sup]Yes. But it is still Soda[/sup]

Soda. I'm from southern New York, but I've heard the people in the more northern parts of New York call it pop.

I'm also from southern New York (so far south that all I have to do to go to Pennsylvania is cross the street and bam, welcome to PA). I also call it soda, and I've never heard it called pop. I was quite surprised to hear so many people in this thread say they are from the northeastern US and that they call it pop.

 

[StormShaun]

Soda, but in Australia, they call it Soft Drink....

Soft/fizzy drink. Australia.

 

[MasterWhatever]

It's called pop on my end.

Ontario, Canada

 

[Quaidis]

Pop. It's pop.

However if I'm in a restaurant it's Cola. Cola or whichever selective brand they have, if it's easily visible.

 

[Furbyz]

I've lived in Louisiana/Texas all my life so it's always been coke to me, regardless of brand loyalty.

 

[Vohn_exel]

Here in Texas, anything is Coke, and thats how I like it . But it confuses the waiters when you're six and order "a coke." "Oh so you want a coke?" "Yes I want Root Beer."

 

[SageRuffin]

I just roll with "soda". It just feels right to me.

 

[infohippie]

Here in Australia, the usual term is soft drink.

 

[Sprinal]

I usually call it soft drink.

If being generic but if being specific then I say the specific name.

Eg: Sprite, Solo etc

As it is usually coke though that is what I have said

EDIT: the last sentence says what is usualy drunk by me

 

[Lerasai]

Like the OP I am from Ohio, so I say "pop". Soda always makes me think of ice cream soda. Mmm, that sounds really good right now.

 

[Syphous]

I live in Maine and everyone around here calls it soda.

 

[Atticus89]

It depends. If I'm at a restaurant, I'll say Coke. However, if I'm talking about soft drinks overall I'll say coke more often than not but I'll say sodas if it's generic, special flavored, or in the name (Coca-Cola and Pepsi are cokes but orange soda or prickly pear soda is a soda).

I'm from Texas, by the way.

 

[Adzma]

down Here in New Zealand we tend to call that sort of thing fizzy drink.

Same in Australia, that or soft drink.

 

[Haydyn]

Over here in Washington, it is called Pop. I however, starting calling it Soda after I adopted a more Canadianish dialect.

 

[koisoy]

I usually call it pop and haven't heard anyone refer to it as anything else here in BC, Canada.
