Here in Los Angeles we call it Soda. I lived in Chi-Town for a year and I thought the people were wierd cuz they'd ask me if i wanted "pop". Also when I would go to columbus, Mississippi they called it pop and sometimes i heard "soda pop".

Down here in NOLA, we call 'em "Cold Drinks". No matter what kind they are, they're always "cold drinks".

[pixell]

I call it Coke no matter what it is.

Soda. I've lived on the East Coast, West Coast, and a few places in between, but its never been anything but soda to me.

I've grown up with one parent saying Coke and the other saying Pop. Since I very rarely drink the stuff, I try to avoid referring to it at all.

But I do like the British "Fizzy Drink"!

Definitely "Coke." If I have a guest that's from one of the non-red areas on the map, I might offer them a "cold drink" (which is completely different than a "drink," which is a category including alcoholic beverages).

"Soda" comes in a little yellow Arm & Hammer box, and "pop" should end in "sicle."

Here where I'm from, it's always coke. It doesn't even matter if it's purple, orange or green. Coke is coke.

Coke most of the time... Sometimes I call it soda.

I never call it pop though.

[UHPhiMu05]

Coke most of time... if not that I usually say soda.

One thing I forgot to mention. Dr. Pepper is NEVER a coke. It's always Dr. Pepper.

However, Pepsi could be coke or 7-up or Sprite. Dr. Pepper is sacred though.

Soda. I grew up in the southeast then moved up to Ohio when I was in the 5th grade. My family is very southern so I kept all their terms lol, I did lose the accent and now have a PA accent since in Ohio I lived near PA.

Everyone I know in Ohio calls it pop and looks funny when I say I want a soda. I also call it coke though cause everything where I lived when I was young was called coke lol.
