What do you call a soft drink? When I was in the Navy, I got several different answers. Some called it pop, some called it Coke and others like myself, called it soda.

i vary between soda and coke

Here in Louisiana it's pop ;)

I always found it weird that somebody would be drinking a Pepsi, and they'd call it a Coke. lol

I too either say coke or soda. I have never used the word pop for soda. How abt fountain drink? LOL

what u said abt people who drink pepsi and call it coke reminds me of kleenex tissue. Kleenex is the brand name, but people will say "do you have kleenex?" same thing with tylenol. tylenol is the brand name and whenever I have been asked for painkiller, it's almost always tylenol. As if that is the new name for aspirin or painkiller.

We call it tonic or soda at home. If I'm getting someone a glass of orange tonic or ginger ale, I'll call it tonic. If it's Coke or Pepsi, I call it coke.

The same thing can be said about Jello. Everybody calls it Jello, when in fact, Jello is just a brand name of gelatin.

soda

Here in Michigan it's always pop. We have a little saying for y'all that say soda...you bake with soda, you drink pop. :lol:

Here in Alabama it's coke. You say, "I want a coke" and they ask you what kind, Coke, Pepsi, Sprite..ect.

I call it soda.

if we are talking about Cola I will say Coke, but if its soft drinks in general I will say soda

soda

coke = coca cola

And if anyone wants to call it elsewise, they've got another thing or two comin. That's what I say. Mmhm.

Oh that is cool. It really breaks it down for you

We call it pop over here. lol

Pop absolutely CRUSHES the competition, hands down.

My gf claims I sound like someone from the 1950s when I say pop, but I think it's the other way around for her saying SODA. I mean in the 50s, they had soda fountains, soda jerks, etc.

Pop. Definitely.

According to the nice little geographic breakdown, Warren Co., KY [WKU] is an 80-100% "coke" area. The area i'm from in the state, natively, is an 80-100% "pop" area.

I say soda.

This is one of the few matters in which northern and western Kentucky side with the South on an issue, and where the southern and eastern portions of the state side with the Midwest and Northern Pacific. It's almost ALWAYS a South/East = South, North/West = Midwest breakdown).

California/Arizona/Northeast US/Eastern Missouri/Western Illinois/Eastern Wisconsin know what to call their fizzy beverages!

I say Pop or Soda, mostly Pop though. I only call Coca Cola "Coke".

I mostly like soda.

here where I live it's POP!:) :D

pop where i live.

Soda.

To me, "pop" sounds like the paternal parent or a grandfather. And "coke" sounds like the Coca-Cola name brand.

I normally say soda pop or soft drink (to be on the safe side) :lol:

That's exactly how it is.
