Just curious what everyone calls it. I know this can become a heated discussion with some people lol but curious to see what most people call it.

it really depends on the area of the country. In the midwest down to the south its strictly considered pop and I find it very entertaining when they get frustrated when you ask for a soda.

End of thread.

Lock plz.

In Buffalo we drink pop but in Rochester they drink soda.

Since it used to be called soda pop, soda is the adjective describing the noun pop. I don't drink adjectives.

 

[Evild]

Soda has ice cream in it.

I thought pop was the sound made by your gun just before it shot the soda can off the fence.

You ever go to the "pop fountain" and ask the "pop jerk" for a drink?

Me neither.

 

[cgrutt]

I wouldn't recommend going into a pizza shop in Brooklyn and asking for a pop...

Oh, and apparently the Coca-Cola Company calls it soda

 

[Trekmtbr89]

who cares?

 

[usmcveteran]

who cares?

Hold on a minute............ Thanks Lord Timelord my can was out!

(all in good fun Trekmtbr89)

 

[jayroget]

I say " Do you have any Dr. Pepper?" or "Can I have a Coke?" or " A splash of Coke with that Jack please?"

 

[Lord Timelord]

Aside from loaning out my can of Troll Spray, I call it POP!

But there should be more options to choose from like:
-Cola
-DEW!

As Master Yoda once said: "There is no Try! There is only DEW!"

All the above coming from a self-diasnosed Diet Mt. Dew Drinker!

I reiterate - Who Cares...It's beautiful outside, go out and enjoy the day. see you trolls later!

How much sun creeps through the cracks under that bridge?

I'm originally from NY where it was always soda.

So I was surprised when I got to AZ in 1972 and it was commonly called pop.

Now, 40 years later, I don't hear anybody calling it pop anymore.

Maybe because everybody here now got here from someplace else.



By the way, maybe we can start a poll based on the regional differences between "bag" and "sack."

 

[saiga]

[usmcveteran]
