See an actual Coke should be called a Coke, but these idiot southerners call Coke and Sprite and root beer and anything else brown or amber colored "coke."

Oh and they call everything clear Sprite, so a Sierra Mist or 7Up is simply "Sprite."

I'm not Southern myself but sure as heck a crudload of people I know (including all my relatives) call it Coke. Reason why? It's the most popular brand. It's the same as why the rest of my family call all detergents 'Tide'.
You can argue that Coke isn't the most popular brand, but to us and my culture, it sure is.
 
I'm from the Northeast, and I say "soda". On a somewhat related note, I am also addicted to it :(
 
I call it 'Soft drink'.. I think it is an Australian thing. I don't know but my parents and relatives call it that. I have no idea where that name came from but we have been calling it that for ages! :P
 
Lordy, this topic got long. Thankfully "soda" is winning xD

Ya know, on occasion I've found myself calling them "soft drinks"....not really sure how that term makes any sense at all. This is what Wikipedia says about the term:

"The name "soft drink" specifies a lack of alcohol by way of contrast to the term "hard drink" and the term "drink", the latter of which is nominally neutral but often carries connotations of alcoholic content. Beverages like colas, sparkling water, lemonade, squash, and fruit punch are among the most common types of soft drinks, while hot chocolate, tea, coffee, milk, tap water, alcohol, and milkshakes do not fall into this classification."

I guess that makes sense? Kinda? I still prefer soda though.

No Soda-pop option? :sad:

...well...I usually just call it 'soda'. Though 'pop' slips out every now and then as well.

Nope, and I forgot to put in a "soft drink" option too T_T

I've never called it pop unless I'm just mocking that term, it just sounds so silly to me.
 
Where I’m from it’s mostly referred to as Soda-Pop... Sometimes I call it Pop, but most of the time I’ll call it Soda-Pop as well. :dry:
 
Well "soda-pop" is forgivable since "soda" is thrown in there xD

Hmm...anyone ever gone around calling them "carbonated beverages" just to see what people do? I should try it at work sometime. If I can talk on drive-thru like a pirate I oughtta be able to call soda "carbonated beverages."

Once in a while I'll say carbonated refreshments.
 
I edited the poll cause I'm just that bored atm.

And it's fuckin' 'pop' children. I hate the word 'soda' and despise the use of the word 'coke' for every carbonated beverage there is.

I live in the south now though, so deliberately, whenever I'm in a store, I like to say, "I'M GOING TO GO GET A POP. I LOVE POP." as loud as I can without looking like a screaming moron.

I also have a friend who comes over and knows it pisses me off to say 'coke' so he'll always ask me for a coke and wait for me to start bitching and inevitably ask 'what kind'. So anymore, when he does ask for a 'coke', I throw either bottles of water or a beer at him.

He doesn't really seem to angry when he gets socked with the beer though. I'm going to have to rethink my strategy.
 
LMAO @ that entire post :monster:

At work tonight there was actually a couple who came in, they looked like southern white trash but the guy said "pop" and I was like "ZOMG J00 SAID POP!"

See you shouldn't throw beer at him if he likes it, that's the whole problem. Throw some juice at him next time, see what he does with that.
 
I am very sadly from the South, but I'm a little more eloquent than these incestual retards, so I refer to it as soda. No extra syllables or elongation, no twang or drawl. Simply "soda."

For them it is:
"YAAA'LL WOWNT A COKE?"
"HEEERE'S SUM SOOOODIE."

Diediediediediediediedie

I can't want to get up north and go to college.
 
I tend to stick with coke. But then coke is the only soft drink I drink. Otherwise I'll stick with alcohol of some kind, water or juice.
Or milkshakes...

But if I had something besides coke, I probably would just call it by the brand name. Just like coke. ;)
 
A bottle of pop is for the big bottles of fizz or just a plain old 'can' I don't care too much for fizzy drinks really. I don't really like coke and i'l only have lemonade if it's mixed with vodka or something.
