Pop/Soda/Coke... what do you call it?

[CobraKai]

god i cant stand the word pop
annoying

same

i call it soda

but i never drink it so i dont care!

[LINUS]

I call it "mmmm mmmm this is a tasty beverage."

......and "beverage" seems to be a catch-all term for anything with alchohol in it - at least here in WA.


So unless you drink rum-n-Coke when ever you have a soda, "beverage" will get you a funny look if you order it early in the day here.

[jbsjunk]

has nobody on this forum seen this?!

I seen that a couple years ago, was going to ask if anyone had or seen it.

BTW, it's pop here.

[equate975]

[DarkWing6]

[StereoInstaller1]

Yeah, generally "pop" in the PNW...but I grew up in San Diego (pop or cola in my house), lived in Michigan (soda), texas (gimme a beer, fucker) and connecticut, (I am tryijng to forget I ever lived in CT)

And now Springtucky? You got some kind of hard-on for shitty, podunk cities, Luke?

[brandondan1]

I call it soda. Whenever I goto my relative's houses(mostly southern), they always get confused when I say it, and go "yew meen ay pop?"

[CleanAzzE30z]

I used to call it whatever particular brand of it I wanted. Now I just call it evil.

Truth. I tended to call it coke, but I preferred Pepsi anyways. I drink this shit maybe twice a year. IF that. I drink water and beer. Thats all.

exactly

Soda always. When people don't understand i'd say cola or SODA-POP.

As some others here, I say a coke when I want Coca-Cola or Pepsi darn it.

But my question now is then: For those of you who are accustomed to use "coke", how do you ask or describe the type of soft-drink in question..

- Can I have a grape/orange/pineapple -coke ?
- There's some grape/orange/pineapple -coke in the fridge.

.. they always get confused when I say it, and go "yew meen ay pop?"

AHHHAHAHAHAHAHA I totally got into character and cracked myself up reading that

[cferb]

I hear pop all the time, I was born in Texas though, so I meet them halfway and say soda.

In atl it doesn't really work that way. Say I am going into the gas station to get a "soda pop". I will just say I'm getting a coke. I may get a sprite, or a mr pibb. But but I refer to it as a coke. When in an eatery I say what I want. "I will have a sprite please and thank you." If someone says "can you grab me a coke" they get a coke unless specified differently. But I don't go out of my way to ask what type of "coke". Actually in any other venue like a serve yourself establishment, I ask for a "soft drink" cup.
It all boils down to what context I use the word.
I cannot stand someone with a minnesota accent or any accent from that part of the country saying "pop".
It sounds like "PAAAAAAAP". Annoying.
See this is lame. That's why I voted for ROB.

[bergie_318is]

soft drink. never call it pop, thats to american.
but if its coke id call it that, if its mt dew it call it that. i call it by its name

[LivingLegend06]

I hear soda the most, but pop is not uncommon by any means. I NEVER hear anyone say coke out here.
