Pop or Soda
I live in Minnesota and have always called it pop. When I went to Wisconsin for school, everyone calls it soda. I know it is called both by different people and by other names by some. I was wondering what you call it. Also, where are you from because it seems to be a local thing. If you call it somthing else, what do you call it?
|
I don't know anyone in Canada that calls it soda (unless they are ex-pat Americans).
We call it pop. |
It's much easier to just ask for a beer, it's the same in any language, midwestern, southern, yankee... tastes better too.
|
Here in NC we call it "drink" or "soft drink." I used to call it pop when I was like 6. I've never called it soda and probably never will. All of my northerner friends call it soda, though.

I call it "Liquid Death" because of the 9 tablespoons of sugar that are in a can of Coke.

i dont drink "soda" but i do drink beer. |
Call it soda here, but when I go to Minnesota to visit family, have to switch into "pop" mode. I hear pop and think of popsicle.
|
For the folks that call it Pop -- is the sugar free version, diet pop? (that just sounds strange to me) Diet Soda sounds more normal.
|
how is diet pop strange sounding? :confused:
|
I never call it diet pop, I usualy just call it diet, or ask for a specific diet.
|
I hate when people call it pop. It's not pop it is soda!
|
In the South, it's all Coke. Even if it's Pepsi, it's still Coke.
|
"dricka". ;)
|
I use it interchangeably. Some times pop, other times soda, other times drink. Or I'll just say "Can I get a ____ (name of drink)"
Seriously though, what's this big controversy about it? |
It's soda...always was, always will be.
|
Being from Ohio, it was always "pop," but since I've lived elsewhere, I started calling it soda for whatever reason.
My mom said the next time I ask for a soda, though, she's going to hand me a box of baking soda :rolleyes: |
It's SODA! *walks away*

Of course, I don't drinks cokes anymore, so it's not like I care much nowadays. |
Come on, everybody knows it's sodapop.
Just like the word taxicab. |
|
coke.. but a lot of times i will just call it what it actually is, "hey, care to get me a mountain dew while you're up?"
|
Used to call it coke all the time. Couldn't figure out why everybody would get confused.
Now it's soda. |
In Wisconsin we all called it soda..now that I live in the north west everyone calls it pop.
|
IT'S SODA!!! READ THE LABEL ON ANY STORE IN ANY STATE!!! IT WILL SAY SODA! No seriously if you look at a label or reciept it will say soda. Proves soda is right...
|
Soda or Pop works.
Coke however, does not work. It's a brand name damnit. |
This is one of THE things that pisses me off more than any other in Ohio. I hate it when people call it "Pop." Its not pop, pop is a fucking verb, not a noun. It's soda.

WI seems to be a transitional state for dialects. I hear people with no accent, a Chi-caaaaaaah-go accent, and the full-blown northerners who sound like the people in "Fargo". |
Wow, I never realized so many people called it pop. I live in St. Louis and lo and behold, just about everywhere around St. Louis county calls it soda. I went to Cincinatti over the weekend and I had to do doubletakes everytime somebody asked me if I wanted pop at a restaurant. Crazy...
|
that map thing is cool but I think we have more ppl in oregon that say soda then what the map shows.

Pop here in Toledo!
|
I, like a few others I see, have always called it soda. Doesn't matter what flavor...
I guess "What kinda pop do you have?" just doesn't sound right because of my upstate New York upbringing... |
Going to school outside of Boston, they were really bizarre - to the best of my knowledge Tonic was a Soda, Soda referred to Club Soda only. (I never could quite figure out what you got if you ordered a Gin and Tonic) But what do you expect from an area that doesnt put ice cream in a milk shake.
