Soda or Pop

Reading a different thread gave me an idea. What do you call that unhealthy yet oh-so tasty soft drink that rots your teeth and comes with fast food?

I call it soda by nature, but all these weirdos in the midwest call it "pop" for some reason, which drives me batty.

I call it by what it is. Coke. Sprite. Dr. Pepper. Puerto Rican Rum. Just... whatever.

What's there to discuss here? Soda is a fact of nature. You don't dispute that. All men are born free despite what their society says. Carbonated drinks are soda. Pop is slavery.

Here in San Diego we call in soda. In Louisiana where I grew up it's called Soda pop or "Coke" as a generic term.

I used to call it pop before people on the scary internet verbally bit my face off over it :jess: So now I've conformed to soda.

Pop? What is it, a drink made from my dad? That's Soylent Cola. The rest is just soda. Want more proof?
in japanese "souda" means "that's right." Thus, soda is right. So pop must be left. Why is pop left? Because no one drinks pop! They drink soda!

Pop. That's a funny word. I say soda, but pop is a funny word. I never heard it called pop until I came here. Well, that's a lie. I just never noticed it being called pop. I guess in my country it is called soda pop.

So when you ask someone what they want to drink, you list every beverage known to man? I think it's much more effective to just ask what kind of soda he'd want. That's right, soda. Pop is some kind of silly music.

Heh, I hate the American names for it. I just call it by the actual drink's name, or say 'soft drink'.

I love the last option, but I'll have to go with 'Pop', as always.

My Grandad always used to say 'Pop', so the word has a special place in my heart.

Actually I believe you're looking for the Japanese that literaly translated is spelled "soo desu" and romanized to a more "soo des" sounding type of thing. So I guess if you say soda REALLY funny, it could be right. At least in Japan. Otherwise we definitely have to go with pop here.

In the small town of Minnesota where I was born, if you called it pop, people would throw you out of the place. It's soda. I say pop most of the time now because I get stared at funny if I say soda, but I say soda when I'm at home.

Interesting find.

Erie County

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

Clearly we outnumber the majority of my city.

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

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.

How much Japanese do you know? 'couse I don't want to make myself look like an idiot by arguing with someone that knows the language. But I have learned in my 4 years of studying Japanese that "sou da" (which is the more literal romanization) is the plain/informal/casual form of "sou desu." My joke is thus valid.

Seriously, it's soda. The only people that should be aksing for a pop are bastard children and orphans.

I might have to concede to you on this one. I'm actually in my first Japanese class here in my freshmen year, and I was just saying that because that's what we've been taught. But I suppose it would make perfect sense that it would be a more informal form. I don't think we'd get taught that right away. Sorry about that mate! (You win, but soda doesn't. :) )

In my country, Soda is a soft drink mixed with vanilla ice cream

We call what you call "pop" or "soda" soft drinks.

Pop sounds seriously idiotic to me, and soda, is the afore mentioned mixed drink. However, at least soda doesnt sound absolutely stupid

Kids soda out of cabbage patches. I sodaped in back home for a sec before going to hang out with my friends. What's up, sodas? All-American Rejects is a soda-rock band. Et cetera.

The idiocy of filtering the word "pop" trancends that of using said word in lieu of "soda".
