Soda or Pop???
 

So with SquEarl being here recently we learned of his affliction with wrongly calling pop soda. He is clearly wrong.


So what do you call it?

It's soda you poor misguided youth.

I can't stand it when I hear "pop". I call it soda. Or I just call it the type of soda that I'm drinking.

Re: Soda or Pop???
 

I always call it by the brand name.

Re: Soda or Pop???
 

Now that's just weird.

Ah, so all the places I would actually want to live call it the correct term, "soda". Good to know.

EDIT: Actually, hmm, besides the Pacific Northwest, they should change their minds, they're better than that.

Yeah, I was seriously considering moving to Seattle. But now I'm not so sure.

I come from a mysterious part of Virginia where rednecks ask for Sweet Tea, but can never find it.
Northern Virginia, it's own time continuum.
We call it Soda.

P.S. If anybody asks for "Pop", I immediately want to sleep with them, if only for the fact that there will be a gun with a string attached to the trigger pointed at their side of the bed.
And I won't hesitate to give it a little tug.
You know what I mean.

I call it 'fris'. Short for frisdrank, translated 'fresh drink'.

Re: Soda or Pop???
 

How could "Coke" even be the generic name for soft drinks, considering it refers to a specific soft drink? That's like "Kleenex" being the generic name for tissues.

And how do you even derive "Pop" from soft drinks? Because it fizzles and "pops?" Please!
