Well heathens, which one is it?
It's pop. Anyone choosing any other option is a nazi.
Anyone who calls it soda probably voted trump.
im a "pop" guy myself, but i have a respect for "fizzy drink" as well. its wrong, but it's not "soda" wrong.
Actually Trump voters would call it "coke."
In reality I use the specific name of the specific product I am referencing, but if I have to use a generic term for some reason I call it fizzy drink because that's what my wife calls it and I thought it was cute so I adopted it.
Soda pop is a fizzy drink.
Question: Is the answer being a regional difference really a thing? I hear it mythologized that "well, people from the midwest call it so and so" but I hear all the answers used interchangeably, everywhere.
Soda usually. But i've used Pop before too. And Coke. Never fizzy drink.
It's all juice.
I hear different accents everywhere interchangeably, too. Because people travel and even move to different places.Quote:

Here's a map that changes as more "soda vs pop" surveys get entered.
The more you know. :grover:
It seems fair to say that fizzy drink has the unquestionably lowest use of the three.
Oh, it’s questionable: Why does that map only show the USA? :pQuote:
