Pop or Soda?
I say soda. pop just sounds weird.

Chips or Crisps?
chips, duh.

Chips or French Fries?
french fries! or simply fries.

Bookbag or Backpack? (the thing you take to school, not one for hiking)
this one bothers me. i can say either, most people would understand. and if other people say bookbag, backpack, bag, knapsack, i would understand. but when i told my cousin (michigan) i bought a new bookbag, she was totally lost. she HAS to say backpack.

Sucker or Lollipop?
lollipop. it sounds prettier =]

If you know more like this, feel free to add!

You forgot, "soda pop" and "soft drink" as options because I've heard those often. I say soda, chips, french fries, and backpack.

Pantyhose or nylons?
I say nylons.

Ahhhh, the classical pop or soda debate. I say pop, as it has comical value.

They're not the same thing. Singing is just singing but serenading is specifically singing to someone.

I say soft drink, not soda or pop :) Chips, because I've been able to say Crisps and have people know what I'm talking about.
Backpack, because I find bookbag a bit ridiculous ahah.
And of course, lollipop! :D

I say pop, which I think is a bit of a Canadian thing. Then I say chips, french fries, bookbag and backpack are two different things, so yeah and I switch between sucker or lollipop.

I think it's cool how they refer to french fries as chips in the UK.

I say soda. That's what most people from the Northeastern part of the US say it. People down South generally call it pop.

Sub or Hoagie?
