Life Imitates EoFF

My grandparents who live to the east of me (We're talking about England here, folks) call it pop, but I guess I'd just call it a soda.

The word "Pop" always seems so Southern to me. I call it Soda, as pretty much everyone else in NY does.

Generally, everyone in my family calls it by the brand name. But I usually call it pop, cause soda mean soda water (so gross).

I grew up saying Pop, but everyone here says Soda, and I've picked it up.


I hate Southerners who call everything "coke". >o

Soda bread is quite heavy/compact :p Pop bread sounds stupid :p

My parents call it by the brand name. But we dont often drink 'soft drinks', so yaknow.

I'm sure an EoFF like situation has come up but I really can't remeber. *giggle*

Chaos

Both.

Fizzy Drink.

Yeah, fizzy drink, fizzy or soft drink all work for me. More often than not, though, I just say the specific name of whatever drink it is, eg. Coke, Fanta, Pepsi, Tango, etc.

Neither. If it's Fanta, it's Fanta. If Coca Cola, then that.

And out of the two, soda is certainly the correct one. WTF is 'pop'? What's so poppy about it? It's a water-based beverage with CO2 -> soda.

I just call it a softdrink or by its brand name, but my parents call it Coke no matter what brand it is.

Everyone I know calls it soda pop. Or maybe just soda. Occasionally just pop.

Around here, I don't think anyone really cares. Which is why I don't usually partake in the Soda vs. Pop threads.

I'm drinking pop right now.

It would seem that Soda is winning....

Its soda bitches...get it right.

Actually I dispise "pop" because I never heard people call it that till I came here to hell...for all my life I always called it soda, as did everyone I was ever around. :D

On TV and crap I always here it called soda too. Anything that represents Oklahoma to me I dispise...and calling soda "pop" is one of those things...ugh.
