I grew up in California, and we all called it Soda. Then i moved to Oregon, where they all call it Pop. Stupid gits.

I'm from Kansas and it's pop there. I live in OKC now, but I still say pop. Some ppl give me shit about it, but a well said "fuck you" usually takes care of that.
What I want to know is- WTF is Mr Pibb?? I love Dr. Pepper and that lame ass Mr. Pibb is NO substitute! I was surprised to read above that Dr. Pepper is not as popular up north. They're really missing out. But is Mr. Pibb popular ANYWHERE? I know you can't get a Dr. P in South America. All the places I've been to down there had never even heard of it. I was really jonesin' by the time I came back.

The south was the home of Coca-Cola and I have to admit, I have called it a Coke for most of my life.
Wouldn't you like to hire the marketing whiz that got that to catch on? Not much different than calling a copy a "Xerox" up until a few years back. |

Anyway, I wonder if it's a coincidence that people in the south say coke and the Coca-Cola headquarters just happen to be in Georgia.

just plain silly to use 'pop' rather than 'soda' (even though the previously mentioned term 'liquid death' or 'tooth destroyer' would be more accurate).

The only way to clear this up is for everyone to quit asking for a pop or soda or cola..... ( Cola..... don't get me started on that one.)......... and go their own.
But, mostly I say Pop.
