Do you say soda or pop, when refering to the wide variety of carbonated drinks?

Will soda is the best!Go coke!

All I say is coke. If they need any other information on that, I would specify, but other than that, I always say coke.

I hate it went people call it pop. It makes me want to \'pop\' them once.

Never in my life have I reffered to soda as \"pop\" It sounds quite stupid. so, GO SODA!

It\'s usually referred to as \"Pop\" around here, but I usually call it by name. \"Coke\", \"Pepsi\", \"Sprite\".

BTW, it\'s grammar.

People generally call it whatever it\'s referred to in the area they live/grew up in. Around here, everyone calls it pop, so..

I live in the redneck capital of Canada though.

And by the way, this is a question of diction, not grammar.

[font=Arial]x_X;; Neither, I just use the name, as explained above, or call it a \"drink\". xD;; <<;; >>;; Surprising.[/font]

Pop. I\'m in the mid-west. =P

(Well, more like in middle of the country, but eh)

My fiance has been calling it soda because he grew up on the east coast. =P


...we always have stupid debates over what to call it.

I call it soda.. My mom is odd and calls it soda pop.

I perfer soda it just sounds better to me.

I like soda cuz im from the east coast, but i live on the west coast so everyone says \"pop\"

[font=bankgothic Lt BT]Everyone around me calls it soda.

I call it a drink.[/font]

Nobody here calls it by \"soda\" nor \"pop\". Everybody here calls it by their name, unless they are asking what you want, like:

\"What would you like as your drink?\"

coke isn\'t correct. Coke means any version of Coca-Cola, or Cocaine. Nothing else. I can be used to refer to any form of cola.

What you said about the different names being rediculous, is why I say something like this:

Me: Would you like a drink? I have Pepsi, 7-Up and Ginger Beer.

You: Yes, could I have Pepsi, please?

Something like that, anyway.

Most of the time I say coke. But occasionally I call them soft drinks. If I\'m referring to a specific drink, I, of course, use it\'s actual name.

SODA POP

i work at a mcdonalds so i heard it pronouced as a lot of things:

soda
Cola
Sody-pop
pop
pepsi (WTF?!)

Well, I use a different word almost all the time. Sometimes I use soda, sometimes pop, sometimes soda pop, sometimes soft drink, sometimes just coke. To me it doesn\'t matter, it all means the same thing so I use them all.

I usually say its name, but I know a kid that calls it a cold drink (WTH?) even if it\'s something like coffee....

What kind of person in the world says \"pop\" nowadays anyway?:conf:

Where I live, we just call it pop. When someone says \"Do you want some pop?\" I answer \"Yes\" and then the name of the drink

I just reffer to it as \"soda\"...
