Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I guess we've all been had, its filtering down from the top. Its a conspiracy I tell you. :lv

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Grew up in a "pop" area. Still call it pop most of the time, but if I'm ordering a fountain drink, it's called just that. Fountain drink, or large drink, or something with drink in it when at fast food.

Escalator Kleenex.



Oh, sorry... uh.. I'm supposed to say "pop" and do. When I ask for a Coke, and they say "Is Pepsi alright?" I do one of two things.
Look disgusted and ask for the other alternatives.
Ask them why they would carry such an inferior product.. ;) I've never heard anyone order a Rum and Pepsi before. There must be a damn good reason. :r


Not that I am a Cuba Libre` drinker on a normal basis, but it's the thought that counts.



With a cigar, I do prefer Coke Zero at the moment.
or, uh... other beverages...

"Diet." Covers everything.

Sorry to threadjack, but this reminds me of a story. Growing up in Europe I was unfamiliar with many of the expressions used in the USA. I asked a gal out on a date in college- to see a movie- and she happened to reach the box office before me- whereupon she turned around and asked; "Are we going Dutch?" Not having a clue what she meant, but wanting to be agreeable, I smiled; "Yes!" OOOPS!

An executive was being moved from NYC to Cincinnati. The moving company was from Cincinnati. As they were unpacking, the exec's wife said: "Careful with those lamps, they are antiques!" The movers, not hearing her well due to the wrapping paper used the typical polite Cincinnati expression for "what?" asked: "Please?"

"OK- PLEASE be careful with those lamps, they are antiques!"

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Coke or soda?

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

You're stupid.
:D

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Yep there is orange coke, grape coke, ect ect coke is coke right ?

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Correct.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

In NC, we call it by the name brand. Pepsi, or Coke, or Mt. Dew. No pop here.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

No, Coke is Coke. That's like calling all cars Fords.

"What kind of Ford do you drive?"

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Another Ohioan for Pop.

:tu

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

We always called everything coke, not pop, not soda, just coke.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

:r it's only funny becuase i've been to your house...you wouldn't even let the coke i brought in the fridge

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I call it soda or pop interchangeably. Used to say pop all the time but have shifted to both.

When I ask for a Coke I want a Coke. If they say, "Is pepsi all right?" I get a Mountain Dew.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

No such thing as a brand called "Coke". There is Coca-cola, Diet Coke, New Coke (hope to God that stuff is gone),etc. Growing up in Atlanta, where Coca-cola is headquartered, it is as Cigary said, soft drinks are referred to as cokes. Now I understand the confusion it can cause but it is not wrong what we say just different than up there. If someone asked me if I wanted a "pop" I'd probably throw up my dukes thinking they were about to swing :D

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

It's soda for me, all the way. Pop sounds ugly.

I can remember listening to a southern comedian, Lewis Grizzard with my dad, (who is also very southern), and the joke was, "What's pop? If you don't stop saying pop, I'll pop you upside the head with this coca cola bottle!":D

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

aaaah A&W, I loved their bacon burgers when I was in Indonesia. Didn't care for the root beer though, but the bacon burgers were awesome.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I dislike pepsi too.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Was it called Double Cola back then?,,,Can't remember but there was RC, & Up and a few others but not like it is today.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

No kidding,,,don't even get me started on the bacon cheeseburgers. I loved those!

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I call it soda

however I don't disagree with the other choices (assuming it's a cola being called a cola)

the only thing that gets on my nerves is when drinks other than coca-cola classic get called coke. they have names unique to themselves, please use them

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Soda for me!

but I do know people who call it coke.

In Mexico the diference is in the north they call it Soda ( I am guessing for the U.S. influence), but in the south they call it "refresco" (which would be something as "refreshment").

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Another southern boy

Coke

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

no A&W in The Netherlands though :( But in a few months I am stateside :)

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

There was a Double Cola. Came in a round glass bottle with ridges around it.
That stuff rocked.

In Minnesota we generally call it Pop.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Soda...... :tu

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Nother vote for pop here. I've traveled all up and down the East coast, and now on the West coast. Now I call it pop just to see what kind of reaction I get.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

This is pretty much the conversation at every drive thru I go to....it's all coke and then you get specific on if its dr. pepper or pepsi, sprite, or mt. dew.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Here is a link to a company that was huge when I was growing up. They went away for a while and are now back. The name of the company says it all!

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

We had one of those (or at least the same name) in the Chicago area years ago.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Soda for me, dislike the word "pop"

but Hell, I also refer to what most call a drinking or water fountain as a "bubbler"

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Who told you to dislike the word "pop"? I didn't tell you to dislike the word "pop". Suzy, get me the NAFDATWP people on the phone.....

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Soda or coke, had a teacher from montana who called it pop and hated when some one said soda.

RC Cola > Coca Cola

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

We always called it coke.
Ie:"Hey dale can you get me a coke?"

"What kind of coke do you want?"

"Dr. Pepper sounds good"

Ahhh, God bless Tx

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

We call 'em fizzy drinks!

I ask for a tissue. Why confuse the issue with brand names. And before you start, I call my Dyson a Dyson, not a hoover.

Substitute 'Fizzy Drink' for 'POP' and I'm with you. I never understood why soda is called Club Soda in the US....

A cuba libre is so much more than a Rum and Coke.... have you not seen Cocktail?
