wotnartd 04-13-2009, 01:39 AM What do you call the carbonated beverage consumed by so many? Soda or pop? Is it regional? (Like Bubbler vs fountain) I call it soda, and live in WI. wonner 04-13-2009, 02:40 AM I call it soda. I thought it was regional, but I also thought you fell into the region that calls it pop...so i dunno. Steel 04-13-2009, 02:55 AM Soda. But im from the NE. oakback 04-13-2009, 08:14 AM You forgot "coke". There are many people who refer to all soda as "coke". I used to, but switched to "soda" at some point in time. I laugh when I hear someone say "pop". wotnartd 04-13-2009, 09:04 AM Well, only retards call something generic, something specific. Zero 04-13-2009, 10:34 AM I call it drank 'cause I'm a nagra. rtryb2200 04-13-2009, 04:16 PM used to be pop...but after working for coca cola for 12 years part-time it is soda... When I was in Alabama and asked for a coke the waitress asked me what kind....it took me a second to figure out that she didn't get it Queen 04-13-2009, 06:12 PM I say soda... my bf says pop and I slap him until he gets it right Steel 04-13-2009, 06:58 PM I say soda... my bf says pop and I slap him until he gets it right Hawt. Misty Rayne 04-13-2009, 07:28 PM we say soda here, i have only ever heard it referred to "POP" by americans on sitcoms wonner 04-13-2009, 07:31 PM http://popvssoda.com:2998/countystats/total-county.gif As you can see, only the civilized areas call it soda. Queen 04-13-2009, 08:08 PM clearly you've never been to St Louis Steel 04-13-2009, 08:19 PM Heh. Looks like I moved from the main 'soda' area to the other main 'soda' area. Hmm. Ark2 04-13-2009, 08:44 PM This is bullshit. Why am I the only one who calls it "pop"? wotnartd 04-13-2009, 08:48 PM This is bullshit. Why am I the only one who calls it "pop"? Because you're a prick. wonner 04-13-2009, 08:53 PM Because you're Canadian. Fixxed. Queen 04-13-2009, 09:00 PM This is bullshit. Why am I the only one who calls it "pop"? because in AMURRKA we beat up you pop speakers dg123 04-13-2009, 09:19 PM http://popvssoda.com:2998/countystats/total-county.gif I don't think this map is 100% accurate. There are a whole lot of people up here in Washington that call sugary carbonated beverages soda. I've always thought pop was a kiddie thing since it's easy to say. Also thought calling all soda "coke", then specifying what type of "coke" you want, was a southern thing. DeRFmAn 04-13-2009, 09:35 PM nah, this chick i'm talking to calls it "pop" as well. She is from Iowa originally though. But in TX we calls it soda. adamfriendofadam 04-14-2009, 06:34 AM When I was in Alabama and asked for a coke the waitress asked me what kind....it took me a second to figure out that she didn't get it have that in NC too... "coke" can refer to coke, diet coke, sprite, dr pepper, and i think even pepsi products... oakback 04-14-2009, 07:21 AM nah, this chick i'm talking to calls it "pop" as well. She is from Iowa originally though. But in TX we calls it soda. Apparently not, judging from the 100% accurate and true fancy map with colors. czarofzar 04-14-2009, 07:33 AM pop Tofuball 04-14-2009, 08:23 AM Soda. Misty Rayne 04-14-2009, 08:30 AM oh i forgot to say although we say soda (never ever pop) 99% of the time we call it soft drink well cos theres no alcohol in it oakback 04-14-2009, 10:10 AM Anybody call it "soda pop"? Or "sody pop"? Zero 04-14-2009, 10:20 AM My county has the large percentage of everyone calling it "other"... I swear that most people refer to it as "drink" or "drank" depending upon ethnicity... I call it by whatever its name is... "Give me a mountain dew", "I'm stopping to grab a mountain dew", "hand me that mountain dew"... only makes sense to me. DeRFmAn 04-14-2009, 12:33 PM My county has the large percentage of everyone calling it "other"... I swear that most people refer to it as "drink" or "drank" depending upon ethnicity...

Why would calling something by its name make sense? that is all just a bunch of hoopla! |
