Pop, Soda, Soda-Pop, Or Coke?

Pop, soda, soda pop, soft drink.... I kind of use all of these interchangeably.

 

I feel like we've had this discussion before.

 

Soft drinks.(Australian).Funny in the UK,people ask for a "tin of coke"not a can of coke!lol

 

lived here 24 years, never once heard anyone say that.

We do occasionally refer to canned beer as "tins" or "tinnies" (but you'd never hear: "a tin of beer") and to pints as "jars" though, so I'm certainly not saying we aren't ridiculous, but I've never heard anyone say "a tin of coke".

 

Ive heard it plenty of times.Maybe it depends which area of the UK you live in?Although Ive lived all over the place,and heard it heaps.

I just call it corrosive sugar filled bubbly stuff which comes out of a dispenser that probably wasn't cleaned in the past 2 weeks.

I'll take a juice!

That was SO COOL!!!

We've got a local soda pop shop here in St. Louis (not really local from where I am), but it's not nearly as cool as that. We actually have a few I think, but not nearly as passionate and adamant towards small business as that is. Where's that located anyways? I'd take a road trip just to check out his store and talk with him a bit!

 

I've certainly lived all over the shop, and I've never heard it, odd stuff.

 

you loose. actually i cook for myself all the time. not saying i actually make anything fancy very often, but as for fast food, about twice a month is average. it is two out the 3 times a month i eat anyplace other then my own little kitchen. the other one is usually some kind of buffette. never the same one twice in a row. the whole point of eating anyplace but my own cooking where i live by myself is to eat something different. about once a month i buy a bottle of something carbonated at the store. if its orangina, i will get that in the liter bottle, which is about half the price of the four little bottles that add up to the same amount. like with the fast food, i get something a little strange and a little different each time. no way to know if they come off the same lines, but i avoid big name branding, just on gp's. and i look for odd little places.

 

I’ll call it whatever it happens to be Coke, Pepsi, Orange Crush, Mountain Dew, but as a generic term I call it Soda.

Coca-Cola was the first real energy drink. Around 1900 it contained 8.46 mg of cocaine and was further enhanced by a heavy dose of caffeine from the coca nut


Hotwater

 

soft drink or cool drink.

 

I love his enthusiasm, I want to visit his shop and have a conversation with him.

 

the map is correct. i, along with everyone else in my state, refer to it as pop.

 

FIZZY DRINKS?!! THAT'S THE LAMEST YET!

 

I say pop.

By NoxiousGas's map, I see that 80 to 100% of people living where I grew up say pop. I live about 60 miles away from my hometown now(in the same state), but 50 to 80% say coke here. I rarely hear pop.
