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

[JUMBO PALACE]

I've always called it, and always heard it referred to as soda.

New Jersey here.

 

[Mr. Google]

I'm sure this topic's been done to death but I couldn't find a recent one when I searched so here goes.

Also for more effective data collection please specify where you live since this seems to effect the term people use.

These are all common names I've heard people use (yes a few people refer to everything as coke) except of course the heavenly one, that's a joke option which I like to include in all my polls. Please excuse me if I'm forgetting any other common ones especially those used outside the U.S.

OT: Pop for me. In Ohio.

Yeah being a ohioian or what ever it should be called i also call it Pop. Pretty sure thats the standard

 

[HK-42]

Observation: I call it "Organic-meatbag-liquid-sugar-black-drink". My master called it coke.

 

[Kadoodle]

If it's coca-cola, then I call it coke. If it's fizzy sugar water in general, (sprite, ginger ale, root beer, etc) then I call it soda, or whichever type of soda it is. I'm from New Jersey.

 

[Craig Cameron]

In Scotland we keep it simple "Juice" being the blanket term for every non-alcoholic beverage that isn't water.

I call it Coke. In England, no one really calls it pop and soda usually means carbonated water, but not necessarily sweetened, at least in the South-East anyway.

and yeah up here soda refers to carbonated water too.

 

[scorptatious]

I like to call it soda. I'm from Northern California, United States of America.

Although on occasion, whenever I'm at a restaurant that serves Pepsi, I would accidentally ask for a Coke and they would think nothing of it and get me a Pepsi.

It's almost like the names of the two brands are interchangeable.

 

[DSK-]

Coke/Coca cola. It is a 'fizzy drink'. That is how I refer to them

 

[Brandon237]

I call it by the name the company gave it. But coca cola is coke. Everything else is called what it says on the can.

 

[staika]

I call it pop and so does just about everyone I know, but I'll sometimes switch it up and call it soda or something.

I live in the north western part of Pennsylvania.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

In Louisiana, we called it coke. Typically, when one person would go to the fridge, they'd ask "Want a coke?" followed by "What kind?" We used 'coke' as a blanket term for 'soft drink'. In New York, I haven't really found a specific term for it.

 

[TheBoulder]

In Canada, we call it pop.

 

[Zydrate]

It's soda.
I thought "Pop" was a 20's thing.

YOU'RE EIGHTY YEARS BEHIND, PEOPLE.

[Flames66]

I'm made in England, More specifically Devon. We usually refer to them as Fizzy Drinks or just by their specific brand name.

 

[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".

 

[GenericAmerican]

Carbonated Drinking Beverage
