Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I am definitely in the minority around here, I call it soda.

I still don't understand the "Crown and Coke" comment, why would you waste a good glass of Crown by putting anything other than ice in it?

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I never expected this thread to reach 100 posts and get over 100 votes on the poll. So far Soda has a pretty good lead.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

In the Boston area, many of us call it tonic.:D

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Isn't that strange - I call our Dyson a vacuum.

I also call the Hoover, Panasonic and Dirt Devil vacuum also - don't want to confuse the issue with brand names - :D

But I do call the Shop Vac a shop vac - :ss

Yeah, I was gonna say vacuum for the dyson, then remember that add spiel, it's a cyclonic cleaner, not a vacuum cleaner :D

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

What kind of coke?
Coca-Cola.

No, I will have Sweet Tea instead.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Oh no.....next time, just give me a paper cut and pour some lemon juice in it.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

If your butt starts itching, just pour some tonic/soda/pop/cola on it.:ss

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

When I was a kid I lived in Massachusetts. They called it "tonic". Actually, Tah-nick.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Glad to see that I'm not the only one like that.
I was worried when I didn't see Coke as an option.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

used to call it POP when we lived in Ohio but now that I have been in Virginia for 15 plus years its SODA.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Raised in Pennsylvania, it was POP!! Being in Virginia for the last 23 years (minus time spent deployed/overseas), it is now called SODA!!! Go figure!!

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I call it by its name like "do you want a coke" or "do you want some sundrop". Mmmmmm sundrop.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

It was always tonic when I was growing up :D

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

In the hills where I was raised, everything was called Coke - even if it was Pepsi ! :r

Eventually some of us started calling it soda but we still get weird looks when we say that.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

:tpd:

Like a good Yankee Southerner from Chi-cah-go, I call it a Coke. (And I prefer it be one too!)

When they say "Pepsi okay" I lie and say "Same difference!"

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

:tpd:

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Coke for me too.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Soda

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Other... I usually call it by it's proper name... Pepsi, Coke, Dr. Pepper....

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I called it pop for 20 years until I joined the Army. After living in the South for 6 years, it is now soda, and I feel like a tool when I go home to the Chicagoland area and say soda.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Soda is the real one. Those folks in WI call "pop". Me neighbor across the street calls it pop. My poor kids were so damn confused when he asked them if they wanted a pop to drink they didn't know how to answer.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

All soda is SODA, until you are talking about specific ones, then is coke, pepsi, etc.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Always called it Coke no matter what it was.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

It's all called coke, although it's more likely to be Dr Pepper.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Now that I am all grown up, having a pop has a whole new meaning :D

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I put pop on the grocery list, but I drink soda :confused:

I was from that area in Central IL where it was borderline, and called both. I have been in TX now for 11 yrs, and do not call anything coke but Coke. ;)

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

When I lived in upstate NY many moons ago I referred to it as POP, and people still do to this day in that region.


I now call it - SODA

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I've always called it pop.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Called it Pop when I grew up in MN, then moved to VA and was quickly ridiculed by other kids for that, so switched to Soda. I also picked up the southern habit of calling any soft drink "Coke" and then asking what kind.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

It's pop!:fu

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Pop!

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Grew up calling it soda but, where I live now it's pop.
