Pop? Soda? Coke?

[opalskiies]

That fizzy, soft, carbonated drink. Dr. Pepper, Coca-Cola, Pepsi... I know that people all over the world call it different things. Even people in America can get into fights over what it's called LMAO

My boyfriend is from New York and I'm from Michigan, and we call it soda and pop respectively. Needless to say, I got made fun of a lot while over there. I asked a waiter what kind of pop they had and he didn't understand what I meant. I died a little on the inside.

So! My question is, what do YOU call the drink? Where are you from?

 

[Nightmares]

Fizzy drink ;D

 

[MoeLover]

Where I live, we call it coke!

 

[MorningStar]

Where I live, we call is soda. Some people in the older age group do call it pop, but it's generally called soda. And Coke's only used when it's referring specifically to the brand.

Where I'm from, we tend to call it pop, although my exposure to American pop culture has made me sometimes call it soda.

 

[Psydye]

I've obviously missed the poll (this thread is from 2017, of course), but I've always called it soda and I can't imagine calling it anything else. I've lived my whole life in the South and so I've faced a lot of ridicule for that because so many Southerners call it "Coke", but I go against that.

I call soda gross soda, Cola if its Coka-Cola/Coke or by the brand name like Pepsi, Sprite, Kinely ect...

In New Zealand most people call it fizzy or fizzy drink but I typically call it soft drink. I will normally just say the name of the brand I am talking about though. If I want a Sprite then I'll say can I have a Sprite.

My family says pop, I say soda, otherwise it's a bit of a mix of the two out here in central Illinois

 

[Sprinkles_penguin]

I use soda and pop interchangeably.

 

[Alienfish]

I say soda, or just the specific brand.. i guess.

 

[moonbyu]

[Bcat]

[abc123wee]

I grew up in the North West, so Soda for me

 

[Midoriya]

I just call each drink by the brand name.

soda, although it's called "pop" by a lot of people I've met in eastern WA and Idaho.
