pop or soda (or coke for the southeners)????

www.popvssoda.com ~ a study being done on the pop vs soda debate

soooooooooo what do you call it? pop or soda? and where do you live?


pop ~ ohio

It's pop, dammit, and I'm a Kentucky girl.

Pop



"i'd like a litre of cola"

Definitely Coke. . . (FL/GA)

"Could I have a coke?"
"what kind?"
"Pepsi"


It is only "soda" in proper company and NEVER pop!

i say soda (california) but i lived in toronto for a time and after awhile got used to saying 'pop.' now that im back in CA its soda again :D

coke, most definitely

its soda! Coke is a type of soda and pop is used to describe the carobonation. So in the end it all comes back to soda.

coke....raised in alabama, now live in ky where ppl say "pop" like crazy and i hate it.

it's COKE, ppl.... :D

funny, PiEp....i thought you ppl just drank the shine. ;)

SODA

Yeah, what Matt said........:D

soda

I third that

Soda! "Pop" makes my ears hurt (and I'm from Chicago!)

POP - Canada

POP!!!!!!! goes the weasle!!

Coke is trade name, cola is for other cocoa bean drinks, Pepsie, generic brands! It then becomes COLA!

Soda Water is what you mix with a drink for a toddy at days end!:D Most definitly needed then!:cool: ;) Not 7-up or Sprite!:o

OKAY, what is Dr. Pecker (Pepper) or Mr. Pibb?:confused:

Grew up saying pop, but when I moved to Hawaii people didn't know what the heck I was talking about, so I switched to soda. Been saying it since, even at home.

it's pop!! :p :p :p

I say soda, but when i order i ask for a coke.

I can use either. It was pop when I was growing up, soda when I moved East (and in Milwaukee).

Seems like Soda is used more in Denver, but that's pretty unscientific of me.

Soda seems a better fit for me now.

This Southern "Coke" thing makes no sense at all. Coke is a specific brand.

Grew up calling it soda in Philadelphia. When I moved to Illinois, no one knew what I was talking about, so it became "soda pop."

TOm AND the Canadians here say Pop? Now I DEFINITLY will say Soda :D

Coke.

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

God help me if i date a girl that says pop. I'm definately gonna have to work on that one with her ;)


Kitso
KS 361 diet cokes over here please

Soda Pop :D

I call it soda, but in a restaurant I order Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. :)

What if you want Sprite? Root Beer? Big Red? Dr. Pepper?

Then the person you order from asks what kind. For example when I go to Wendy's I say can I have a Coke and they say is Pepsi okay (I know that's stretching it) but in some places Coke is just like saying I want a soda. It's like the kleenex tissue thing.

soda

'pop' seems pretentious to me

oooooohhhhhhh...that is the worst...i just wanna tell people to pick one or the other and then you are going to be picking POP. ew i hate soda pop!!

Well, i don't drink sprite, root beer or (oh my god eww and disgusting big red).

but, if i did, i would ask for a sprite, A&W, or big red. Course if any of y'all ever hear me order a big red, smack me in the back of the head with a 2X4 because it's either an imposter Kitso, or i've been possessed by aliens bent on world domination.

Kitso
KS 361 times i'd rather drink pickle juice than big red

It's all Coke to me!

The people I work with drink Diet Coke like crazy, but it's still called Coke.

Living in Florida, you can tell where people are from by how they order a carbonated beverage.

Hey! Vodka goes well with Big Red, especially the triple filtered 7.99 for a handle kind. ;)

pop..and the only people in ohio i've ever heard asking for a carbonated beverage otherwise are from MInnesota and Illinios

How about Sodapop!! Actually I grew up in Michigan so I called it POP and of course being in TN now ppl think Im nuts sometimes but oh well I dont care I like the pop and its always going to be POP! :)

Nichole

:D Okay. Okay. If I had to pick soda or pop... If I don't call it soda pop, I refer to it as soda.
I don't know how many others are like me, but I know which restaurants are a pepsi house and which are a coke house. So when I order it is usually specific such as diet pepsi or diet coke. But if I don't know for sure I order a diet soda.

I am like quite a few others on here. I live in Dallas, but I learned to talk in RI. So I guess I incorporated both. soda pop:D

Cherry Coke please. Or Rum and Coke ;)

I say soda, but if I'm at a resturant I'll ask for Coke so they get the right soda! (Even if they only have Pepsi, they still know what I want.)

As for the Dr. Pepper/Mr. Pibb question I saw a few posts back - I've never seen Mr. Pibb sold on Long Island. If anyone has, please tell me where so I can try it.

incidentally, i generally drink a ridiculous amount of soda....i mean i could easily drink 12 in a day or two (not always, but sometimes), but i've not drank soda for probably 2.5-3 months and you wouldn't believe how much better you fell when you give up soda

Stan, Damn, Ca. Greek, Bite Me!:D

I call age and # on Ya!:) :D :cool:

I always say Cola, unless naming a specific type of Cola. Like Co-Cola, Pepsi Cola.

I think it's from spending so much time in England. Btw: my fave is Virgin Cola, kinda tastes like RC, but not flat.

Coke - if I want any type of cola beverage (Coke, Pepsi, RC, cheap grocery store brand)

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....
