in wny we call it pop but when ordering in a restaurant I always say pepsi which is usually followed up with waitress asking "is coke ok?".
i call it fizzy drink. it encompass all.
In Ohio, its pop, especially when I was a kid. But now most everyone just says 'soft-drinks'.
Mostly I call it poison, occasionally I call it mix.
Wow!
From 1948, or so, on Grande Island, NY, until 1955 when we moved to Oklahoma, it was always "Pop." Afterwards it was soda.
Mostly I hear soda, or the product names. I drink very little of it, bad stuff really, but I am addicted to Root Beer Freeze. That's "Mana," a true gift from God, or some other being.
I collected "Pop" bottle caps for years until my mother threw them away. Sorted by name and everything. Crap! She also threw away a Superman #1. I don't even look any more to see what it might be worth. Last time was years ago and it was over $100,00 then. Also old batman, hulk, and a lot of others. No, I didn't kill her and I still love her. She died 30 years ago.
In my neck of the woods, it's called Coke. This type of conversation is had daily...
"Want a Coke?"
"Sure"
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."
"Okay"
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. Socrates I find myself using multiple terms. Soda and coke are probably the most common.
It's a coke. I even call a Pepsi a coke. Typical pub conversation at the bar....
Katie: Can I have a coke please?
Barman: We only have Pepsi
Katie: It's the same thing!
Not sure Pepsi would be too enamoured with my attitude lol
We call it a coke, then you are asked, what kind of coke...but there's only one kind of tea, and that's sweet!!!!!!!
Soda and Sasparilla when I want to be annoying
why does it matter? i don't understand why this is a topic...?
