    Which is way off, as the carbonated drink definition of the word "pop" is not a main usage of the term (the sound by far is), whereas it is BY FAR the main usage of the word "soda."

    Conclusion: pop is dumb.
    OH COME ON

    Results 1 - 10 of about 432,000,000 for pop [definition].
    Divided by the double the number of Definitions (66 - As of dictionary.com)=
    6,545,454.5

    Even if you consider the probability that 1 in 66 "pops" will function as a reference to the drink compared to the probability that 9 in 18 "sodas" will function as a reference to the drink the conclusion remains that there is still the probability that pop will be utilized more frequently than soda in reference to the drink.

    So this statement not only satisfies your statement but it simultanesouly satisfies my own.

    Statistically speaking pop still wins.

    And I can't do this anymore - this pop thing is getting too serious for my liking :P
