Carbonated beverages...?

I eschew the controversial "soda" and "pop" monikers and instead just call it "caffeine". Who needs the bubbly water and caramel, I say. I don't refer to orange juice as "pasteurized orange concentrate", I don't refer to fruit snacks as "hyrdolized corn syrup", so I'm not about to go around calling caffeine "soda".

Not surprisingly, non-caffeinated soda/pop (including the clear, lemon-lime varieties) are designated as "non-caffeine".

I just call it a soft drink or if it's Cola I call it coke

I call it pop.

Why are we still talking about pop vs. soda. The real issue here is how gay dave van dommelen. From what I hear he is really gay.

Same here.

you call it by it's name, just not at first.

"Hey, are you thirsty?"
"Yeah, gimme a coke."
"What kind?"
"Hmm. . Dr. Pepper."
"Aite"
"Thanks man"

It depends. Sometimes I call it pop and sometimes I call it soda. But never soda-pop! :mad2: Or I just call it by the product name. It varies from time to time.

I just say drink
Us brits dont call things soda or pop

Sometimes soda, other times by it's actual name. Depends.


:D

Soda. And only soda. Anything else is evil.

I call most of it "Coke", and get made fun of for it.

"Hey, you want a coke?"
"Sure, I'll take one."
"Alright, we got Mountain Dew, root beer, or some diet stuff."
"You moron."

Whereas Coca-Cola, by brand name, is referred to as "coke-cola".

And there are things that don't qualify as "cokes", as a matter of fact. Slice, Fanta, Shasta, Miranda, Crush, and other fruit-flavored sodas should not be considered "coke", but rather, "soda", because that's what they are. It still isn't technically wrong to refer to one as a "coke", but it's not the preferred label.

It would technically be correct to refer to everything as "soda", but definitely not "pop".

The name I called them when I was younger was "fizzy drinks" and its the name I still use. Its geeky I know :p

There's only one word for it and that's: SODA

:mad2:

I just call it a 'drink'.

"Hey I'm just going to get a drink."
"Aight cool, man."

If asked what drink it is, It's none of your business.

I most often call it "soda pop."
