Pop, Soda, Coke-- what do YOU call it?
 
Here in the South, it is Coke, no matter whether it's Coke or Pepsi brand. We laugh at people who call it 'pop.':D

What does everyone else call it across the country?

I call it Soda! I also laugh at people who call it 'pop'. My co-worker calls it that and I am constantly laughing at her.

Coke is a specific brand of soda, so I never understood why that's the common name for the everyday soft drink. But whatever, regional dialects are regional dialects.

We call it soda down here.

Soda 99% of the time.

Once in a while I let a "pop" slip out.

In Chicago, I say pop
But in Philly, I say soda

I always call it "pop".

I believe it's called "pop" everywhere in Canada. I have never heard anyone else here call it anything but "pop".

I call it pop. Once in a while I'll say soda though since I go to school in the Northeast they're rubbing off on me.

That is an awesome map!

Look for Long Island on the map... note the dark yellow indicating 80-100%...

Yeah I call it Soda.

Soda for me.

Whenever I'm out, I always ask for a Pepsi, and not Coke. I notice that most restaurants here are more Pepsi-friendly.

I cringe whenever I hear "Coke". Like Stan said, it's a brand name! :mad:

It is Coke. I think everything is Coke in the south because it was the first soft drink company and it was founded in Atlanta.
