Pop, Soda, Coke-- what do YOU call it?

[kk_bama]

Here in the South, it is Coke, no matter whether it's Coke or Pepsi brand. We laugh at people who call it 'pop.'

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!

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.
