yeah coke, pepsi, fanta, whatever. it's all coke. i think it's kinda a southern U.S. thing though.

Person 1: you want a coke or something?
Person 2: yeah, i'll have a Mountain Dew.



edit: what the fuck is lemon squash?

[gonnagetuhigh]

lemon squash is what australians (and prob NZ and UK) call drinks like Lift and Solo, lemon flavoured fizzy drink

[adam289]

Everyone I know says soft drink.

Fizzy all the way home baby!
yeah i always say Fizzy drink.
It was funny when i went to a cafe in america and asked what fizzy drinks they had. they had no clue what i was talking about lol. same with chips/fries and tomato sauce/ketchup.

Minearl Drink? never heard that one before. who calls it that?
edit: oh wait...was that a typo? is it meant to say Mineral Drink?

[Indoor Living]

God it's cool how cultures are so different, especially in small things like this.

and to the Americans... here's a spanner in the works... i always hear SODA POP in movies, they combine the 2?

[andrewshungry]

i hate when people say pop

[Heart-A-Tact]

I'm from Missouri, and a few people here in Florida have ridiculed me for calling it soda. I have no idea why.

People around here usually say pop. You get some sodas every once in a while though.
People say soda pop too sometimes around here, but it's usually sort of tongue in cheek/knowingly silly.

[phil19]

soft drink for me.
honourable mentions to fizzy drink and carbonated bevo

[rob_mylo]

when i was a kid it was pop, then i moved. now its soda.

[mapster]

soda/pop/soft drink...mainly pop for me tho

[Ryzenfall]

God it's cool how cultures are so different, especially in small things like this.

Someone who knows how to appreciate and not hate. Rock on.

Haha, hell yeah!

[Machu505]

It's soda.

[AbbeyCarbs]

Soda

[ActionActionFan]

Soda.

[drewziph]

fizzy fizzy baby

[sasalukac]

dope? apparently i'm out of touch with this soda street lingo

[TruthBeTold 13]

when i was a kid it was pop, then i moved. now its soda.

Same. Well, kinda. Chicago to California and back to Chicago. So it was pop to soda to pop.

[sammyboy516]

soda. but it depends on your country/location in the US, really.

[ihatecayte]

pop, seeing as how i'm from the midwest.
it's definitely one of those regional things.

[briewer]

backwoods retards call it pop

I've got 5 million people of Chicago and its greater suburbs saying you're wrong. The only people would call it soda in Illinois are from up north, from the cultural mecca that is Wisconsin, or from southern Illinois, which anyone could easily confuse as Kentucky.

[Signatoria]

I thought everyone calls it different things. We Aussies call it fizzy useually, or maybe soft drink.
Americans call it soda. That's all I know xD

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Coke actually, it's all Coke.

[joey.esposto]

haha this is funny
i'm pretty sure soda is more of an american thing and pop is more canadian?? and i dont know about the rest haha

[246toothpicks]

sody. btw my teef hurt.

[Jamos4184]

It mostly just depends on where you are from. Seems like most from the northeastern states call it soda (this includes me). Midwest is pop (this used to be me, when I lived in Iowa). Not sure what they call it out west. I think the south calls everything coke.

My argument is look at the labels. Most carbonated beverage labels say "Soda". "Pop" is what you call your grandpa or the sound that a breaking bubble makes.

[Jamos4184]

The end all with this argument is that Stewie Griffin called it "soda" in the most recent episode of Family Guy. Game, set, MATCH!

[Co and Ca]

I voted for soda, even though I say coke. Well, I do say soda sometimes as well haha.

[hero_dujour]

SODA. Haha, pop, so weird. What in the world is lolly water?

[J Me]

I'm from Missouri, and a few people here in Florida have ridiculed me for calling it soda. I have no idea why.thats weird. i thought down in the the south was more apparent to saying soda and up in pennsylvania and all those new england states were apparent to saying pop?

[Heart-A-Tact]

thats weird. i thought down in the the south was more apparent to saying soda and up in pennsylvania and all those new england states were apparent to saying pop?

I was under the same impression, but I guess the few people who called me out on it thought it was ridiculous. :shrug:

[Hagysaurus Rex]

Mineral is apperentl the Irish!! or so my lepruchaun friend reckons


and to the Americans... here's a spanner in the works... i always hear SODA POP in movies, they combine the 2?

Sodee Pop!!

Whenever I go back home I call it soda just to piss everyone off; they all call it pop.

[Poochemist]

I totally call it Soda myself. However...

I believe that "Soft Drink" is a non-regional dialect that won't piss people off, especially if you venture down into the south or New England.

[Merch_Mike]

Americans say Soda
Canadians say Pop

[Tim Lincecum]

technically its soda pop... but when you abbreviate something you usually use the first part of it... so its gotta be soda... ive used this argument against the "pop" people and they just dont seem to care... this battle will go on for centuries

[dpetty21]

i hate when people say pop

I hate when people don't say pop.

[Say Nothing]

I say pop...

[dpetty21]

I've got 5 million people of Chicago and its greater suburbs saying you're wrong. The only people would call it soda in Illinois are from up north, from the cultural mecca that is Wisconsin, or from southern Illinois, which anyone could easily confuse as Kentucky.

I second this althought I'm not from Chicago haha. It's the same situation in Ohio. Well maybe just northern Ohio but I don't really know because I try not to go south except to Cinci once in a while.

[andrewshungry]

guess its an ohio thing

[SeanEBoy2686]

POP...americans and their 'soda' what is that :P

I know in all the areas near me... OH, PA, MI, IL, IN... pop is the way to go

I've got 5 million people of Chicago and its greater suburbs saying you're wrong. The only people would call it soda in Illinois are from up north, from the cultural mecca that is Wisconsin, or from southern Illinois, which anyone could easily confuse as Kentucky.

the descriptions made me laugh

[rckstr29]

Personally, I voted soda, but I'm totally calling it lolly water from now on

[youwithoutMe]

pittsburgh calls it pop

so i see coke/pepsi and think "pop"

[samsara]

what the crap??

i call all of it coke!

[DaniMoo]

It's all coke. And I'll most likely make fun of anyone that calls in anything different down here.

[MADSTA]

Hahahaha @ lolly water.
I call it pop.
I don't think I've ever said the word soda except when making reference to Ponyboy's brother in The Outsiders.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Soda. Apart from the first three, I haven't heard any of these before.

[Dre Okorley]

backwoods retards call it pop
rotflol :lol:

[m_rue]

Soda

[king marcello]

anyone who still calls it pop needs to die

[HelpMeSleep]

soda. but I think pop is totally cute, wish people said that around here.

[Roboman]

SODA, all the way. Fuck the "ooh, look at me, I'm southern!" idea of calling everything "coke", that's such bullshit.

And pop just...sounds lame.

[just.Starla.]

Soda

[etheritcher]

i will stand by pop for always

[Dre Okorley]

hahah @ ppl saying "soft drink".
are you some kind of English teacher or something?

[AussieBoy]

soft drink is cool, because is makes all the wussys sound like theyre soft when theyre not on the booze

if i went to america id say POP, just cause it sounds fun to say......... ill have a POP!

but fizzy all the way still

[Dre Okorley]

"soda" rules all.
