soda?
pop?
coke?
soft drink?

My friends and I had an argument about this at school. laugh.gif
I call it soda.
I don't understand why some people call it Coke, because I always saw Coke as meaning just "coco-cola."

soft drink with my parents (i don't know why), but usually pop. sometimes I say soda so there's no confusion. Whenever I say pop people say soda to clarify huh.gif

Why would you call it a coke? ermm.gif

My friend was saying "Well, all soda is Coke."

Soda.
Coke = coca cola. Pop = ...uh 90's? Soft Drink = a fast food restaurant's name for the stuff.

SODA.

We can't call it coke because not all carbonated beverages are coke (as in Coca Cola).

I heard "pop" was a north thing.

Midwest I believe. I use soda and pop interchangeably. My nuclear and extended family is from Chicago so they all say pop.

Pop = Midwest thing. My relatives in Illinois all call it that laugh.gif
Coke = Southern thing, for the most part. I called it that when I lived in Texas.
Soda = I have no clue. Everywhere else? I call it that now, and I live in California.

"Pop" & like everyone has said, it's a midwest thing and it is, since i live in the midwest. I've tried to say "soda" a few times and it just doesn't sound right...haha.

Im on the east coast and everyone calls it "pop". Wtf, why would you call it coke? If you say I want a coke, you want a coke, not just a pop.

Also, if people say soda around here, I think people are more likely to ask if you want a creme soda or something along that route.

When I lived in Missouri, I remember hearing a lot of people calling it coke.

When living in the US, it was always soda. After moving to Canada, it was really funny hearing soda being referred to as pop. I remember a teacher had warned students against drinking pop in class and I giggled. I got funny looks and was embarrassed but it was still funny.

I think the word "pop" is suuuper adorable. Like, just really cutesy. All I've ever heard is the word "soda", but I think I'm going to start conciously saying the word "pop" instead 'cause it's that darn cute.

Well from what i understand,

people in the Western side of the United states call "soda-pop" SODA

people from the Mid-West call "soda-pop" POP

I think soft drink isn't as "popular" (lack of better word) as soda or pop, but is used in both areas of the United States, but definitely not as much.

I don't know about Coke. Why would you call "soda-pop" in general Coke, when there is a "soda-pop" brand Coca-cola. I think it is just a recipe for a mix up. mellow.gif

My mom's entire family is from the South, and they all call it coke. It's really weird, they'll be like "I'll have a coke." "What kind do you want?" "Dr. Pepper" pinch.gif Never made much sense to me. Then of course my dad's side is all from the north, and they all call it pop. I just call it soda =P
