I dont actually use soda, pop, or coke.
I just say drink. My family would say coke...but then again, thats literally all we kept at our house of the soda variety.

...This reminds me of the bitterness I feel since my school switched to Pepsi this year. They must have offered more money than Coke. The problem is that when Coke went, so did Mello Yello. Now, I am stuck with Pepsi and the pathetic excuse of a drink that is Mt. Dew.

Neither-Coke. But now that I've moved to the northern parts, it's starting to become Pepsi.

Pop? Is that some kind of mid-western thing?

i think we already had a thread about this, and FF went off about how it was unreasonable to call it soda because of some english technicality, and then someone retorted that pop was stupid because it was a sound...

My cousins say pop, and they live in Chicago. When they first offered me a can, I burst into peals of laughter.

In some parts of North Carolina (the birthplace of PEPSI) it's
all called PEPSI.

Soda.

I do have a friend who calls it pop, though. It's so cute!

Where I grew up....It was Coke.....Mama would say what kind of Coke do you want? and of course, I would say Pepsi! We NEVER would say Soda or Pop....

Soda all the way. We called it POP in ohio - we were SO wrong.

I usually call it soda. But I rarely drink soda. I usually stick with iced tea..

Soda and ONLY Coke (diet coke) because Pepsi makes me gag!

Soda, but I have never liked it... guess it's healthier this way.

I'm in Ohio. It's pop. If you ask for soda in Ohio you get soda water.

mom beat me to it - we said "tonic" growing up too. I went to college in Chicago, where everyone said pop (except me). Now it's soda.

Okay, I'm originally from 30 minutes north of Boston...

MY generation called it soda, however my mother is a GREAT deal older than me and her generation called it "tonic"... so as a child it was "tonic" to me... around high school I started referring to it as "soda".

NEVER "pop"... but you know, that's *WICKED* awesome.

Check out the link at

http://www.popvssoda.com/countystats/total-county.html

They include "pop" "soda" "coke" and other
You'll see that California and the Northeast is mostly "soda"
The shouth is mostly "coke" and the rest is mostly "pop"

I don't think the UK has either term. We like to call them fizzy drinks. Ain't we quaint?

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 9/27/04 at 1:57pm

"Fizzy drinks" makes me think of Alka-Seltzer.

That map BT posted is really interesting.

Proving once again that you can find anything on the internet.

By the way, I was in the Navy for ten years and in the Navy it's called 'Soda' which is stupid, because it's POP (God save Ohio)


I didn't know Pepsi was from North Carolina. That AND John Edwards? No wonder I don't feel sorry that the hurricane is about to smack thier arses.

BT - WHERE do you find these things? You are so very clever and resourceful!

BT found them under my bed when we were playing last week.
