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?

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.

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

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 -

But I do call the Shop Vac a shop vac -

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

Mustang1 · 01-22-2009, 03:31 PM

Pop here.

SSatVT · 01-22-2009, 03:47 PM

Other.

coke.
What kind of coke?
Coca-Cola.
Is Pepsi ok?
No, I will have Sweet Tea instead.

And it better have ice in it.

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

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

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

akakirby · 07-16-2009, 02:08 PM

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

kelmac07 · 07-16-2009, 03:44 PM

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!!

wrench turner 85 · 07-16-2009, 04:50 PM

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

Bruins Fan · 07-16-2009, 04:58 PM

It was always tonic when I was growing up

TheTraveler · 07-16-2009, 05:01 PM

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

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

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!"
