Otherwise it's pop.

Never soda. All I think of when I hear soda is baking soda, and I'm pretty sure no one wants to drink a glass of that....

When I hear "pop", I think of a plastic chested hot blond girl lip syching on stage in front of 15,000 flat chested pre pubescent girls....

etahannah 08-09-2003 12:05 AM

i was at a bonfire with my best friend....keep in mind this is the only person i know there...well someone brings out pop and asks who wants some. being the big dork that i am, i go:

"yea you said pop!!"

they all look at me and just kinda laugh and we get started on whether its pop or soda....everyone said POP...

i almost was like..."so i started this threat on gc about pop vs soda..." but then i realized how stupid i would have sounded....haha

it still and forever will be POP

Always coke....unless you're asking for Dr. Pepper. Those are the only 2 acceptable choices.

I live in MD and I have never heard anyone refer to SODA as coke...

Sorry, if you bring your ass into a restaurant and order a Coke, and you get Coke, but you wanted something else, tough! You should have asked for what you SPECIFICALLY wanted (Sprite, ginger ale, etc)!


Sorry, but that's weird...Coke = all soda?? Um, no, sorry!

Thank goodness I don't drink soda...AND IT'S SODA!!!

BTW, I'm not talking specifically to you, DZTUBAGIRL, just so you know! :)


Also, I lived in RI for 6 years...It's SODA there too!

Wow, you feel pretty strongly about this, huh?

Jadey28 08-09-2003 12:58 PM

Soda

Pop makes me laugh everytime I hear it called that. Or I think of the N'Sync song "Dirty Pop" and when Justin sings it! LOL :D

No, my bemused sarcasm/folly doesn't translate well...

absolutuscchick 08-09-2003 01:53 PM

LeslieAGD 08-09-2003 02:23 PM

Mostly, I call it soda, but if I'm out somewhere I call the drink by name (Pepsi, Coke, etc).

dzsaigirl 08-09-2003 03:50 PM

COKE. I call everything coke.

What kinda coke do you want? Ummm...Dr Pepper please :p

raelee 08-09-2003 03:59 PM

I would say soda or coke. My husband who is from Chicago calls it pop.

Jill1228 08-09-2003 04:08 PM

UT PhiSig 08-09-2003 04:11 PM

tinydancer 08-09-2003 04:15 PM

Just as long as you don't say "sody warter"

adpishan 08-09-2003 04:47 PM

I say soda, but one of my sisters (who is from Ohio) calls it pop and now it doesn't even phase me to hear it both ways. But I do say Pop Tabs, like during our philanthropy we are collecting "pop tabs".

Tom Earp 08-09-2003 04:49 PM

Knowledge1922 08-09-2003 10:25 PM

we say SODA or TONIC here...

;)

erica812 08-10-2003 12:09 AM

I'm from western PA, so it was always pop to me. I thought soda was just an ingredient in pop or the stuff you put in the back of the fridge to keep from smelling the month-old pizza. Until I moved to Massachusetts where everyone says "soda," and you drink water from a "bubbler"!


And to address the "Coke is a brand" issue...My husband calls all paper towels Bounties. So he spills his milk and says, "Could you grab me a Bounty?" It drives me crazy!

DigitalAngel126 08-10-2003 03:32 AM

I've said it once and I'll say it again: "Pop" is a SOUND, not a drink. I drink soda...And yes, I live in Indiana, where its Pop (can't help that I'm a native North Easterner and Soda will be forever embedded in my brain). :D

kstar 08-10-2003 05:16 AM

So am I the only one to call it cola?

Am I that weird?

aephi alum 08-10-2003 09:23 AM

Soda.

Around here (CT), if you order a coke, you'll get Coca-Cola. If you order pop you'll get a funny look, and possibly some bubble wrap to play with.

:p

ADPiSAI 08-10-2003 02:06 PM

in New Jersey, it's soda.
at school in Canada, I get all sorts of funny looks when I call it that, so I *try* to adapt and call it pop... It doesn't usually work though!

Where in Maryland do you live because the Maryland I know is SODA.

etahannah 10-22-2005 06:16 PM

it's still pop!!

*dances a coke dance*

UofISigKap 10-22-2005 06:46 PM

Virginia has soda. It took me the longest time to retrain my brain to soda instead of pop. Some people had no clue what pop was, and I was tired of "pop...uh, I mean soda."
