Call it "soda" (ugh) or "pop" (bigger ugh) in these parts and everyone will know you ain't from 'round here and may not be be trustworthy.

It's:

-- a soft drink,

-- Coke (if we mean Co'Cola, we'll say Co'Cola), or simply

-- "somethin' t' drink"

Oh, and CrimsonTide4 and enigma_AKA, y'all'll note that at least half of the blue/pop states are the ones with 1/2 person per every square mile.

Whatever. We still know what's good, what's right and what's just and that's POP!! That is all.

It's split here in Indiana. When I was living in Fort Wayne everyone said "pop." However, in Indianopolis and parts of Bloomington people say "Coke"

But for me I'll accept either "pop" or "soda"

Coke is a name brand as in Coca-Cola, it does not take the place of all carbonated beverages.

And Kleenex is a brand name, so it doesn't take the place of all facial tissues.

And Xerox is a brand name, so it does not take the place of photocopy.

And Champagne is a sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France, so it doesn't talke the place of all sparkling wines.

And Band-Aid is a brand name, so it doesn't take the place of all adhesive bandages. (You know, when my kids ask for a band-aid, I do tell them "I'm sorry, we don't have any Band-Aid brand adhesive bandages, but we do have this other brand of adhesive bandage.)

And . . . .

exactly! See now you get it

ETA: However if you are requesting an adhesive bandage from the BAND-AID Box then you are correct. Many of those examples can be accurate because those are popular brands that most people use. So, when I ask for a kleenex (even though I say tissue) it usually comes from the Kleenex brand box so I am accurate. Just like if I want a Coca-Cola then I will say Coke. However, Pepsi is NOT coke it is pop. Thank you

How do you decide if you want sprite or pepsi? You say I want some sprite coke? Because that is the stupidest thing I have heard and I am willing to support a civil war over it.

The response to "I want a Coke" in the South is usually, "What kind?" Then you say, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, etc. etc.

Do Not Drink that Benzeine driven Drinks.

Only Drink Grape Juice. Cal. Grape Juice! Pure and Innocent!

Or if I did ask for a cola product, it would be by name!

[bluefish81]

It's always been "pop" to me.
