Depending on where you live, you may call the little fizzy stuff sold in cans, plastic bottles, and occasionally glass bottles, as soda, or pop, or the ever confusing "coke". ("Yes, I'd like a coke" "But sir, we serve Pepsi products here" "I know...I said I wanted a coke, how hard is that to understand").

Which do YOU call it, and where are you from? Also, if you refer to it as something else entirely, choose other and specify "what"....those three are the most common ones, so....

Myself: Soda - Resident of Southern KY. Practically everyone else here says "coke" or "pop"

I have always called it soda. It annoys the heck out of me when people say "pop". I live in SE Wisconsin and we all say soda, but way up north in the state I know a lot of people say pop.

This is a nice little map, and it breaks down where each term is used most often.

In my area, it depends on who you ask, because I've heard all three of those terms used interchangably, but I personally, use the term soda.

I call it Pop or Soda...Unless it's Coca Cola which is the only Cola I drink I call it Coke.

I used to think I was one of the few around here to call it "pop" but after looking at that map 80 to 100% of the people in southern Michigan call it "Pop".

Soda, I think. Coke if it's Coca-Cola. Never pop.I used to call it pop when I was a kid, but now I don't. I don't like the thought of spitting when I ask for it. :spit: :lol: "PoP!!!"

Pop is a form of music, not a beverage.

Wait a minute, we call it tonic. My husband just asked me to get him a glass of tonic. I can't believe I didn't remember that in my first reply.

Pop, though I do occasionally call it soda. Basically I'll just say whatever the name of the pop is.

People who say "Pop" are much, much cooler.

When they call it Coke, it confuses me. For instance, I used to work at a grocery store and sometimes a person would forget to get their Sunkist or something. So they would send me to get a 12 pack. But they would ask me to "get them a 12 pack of coke." So of course I would show up with a 12 pack of Coca Cola, and they would look at me like I was stupid or something. I'm sorry but either say soda or pop. One or the other, otherwise it's confusing. LOL or better yet, don't forget it and get it yourself.
