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 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.
