Are people really that serious about it?

I wouldn't be surprised if the conflict spread to some type of world wide war.

Pop.

The definitive site on the subject:

Interesting find.

Erie County

Pop: 385/443 = 86%
Coke: 2/443 = 4%
Soda: 47/443 = 10%

Clearly we outnumber the majority of my city.

Man, the US sucks, How can you possibly use the term "coke" like that?
"What kind of coke would you like?"
"MOUNTAIN DEW LOL"
omg mountain dew is a sort of coke!!!!

Soda; plain and simple.

I usually do not call something that I drink, the same name as my grandfather.

Pop.

I've never met anyone who said it "pop". Remind me never to move to the bible belt.

pop!

Makes me laugh, because growing up in a small Minnesota town, I don't know if I ever once heard the term soda.

:D

Why? We say coke here. It's those midwesterners in nebraska that say pop.

Soda.

This argument is the second only to one concerning religion. I agree that this could easily be used as a motive for war. :rolleyes2

That's what I thought when I saw this :D

Of course I call it soda. Pop is...unnatural. Pop. Would you like some pop? It sends shivers down my spine. And my dad says it, so double no. Soda forever.

It's pop. I'm sick of this. Some people wouldn't know the truth if I put it into an aluminum can, carbonated it and bashed them in the face with it. I don't mind people calling it "soda" as long as those people don't mind being demented freaks of nature.

This thread can be closed. And archived. As long as no one posts after me.

Soda. Hahah.
