Coke or Pepsi?

[Raistlin]

Pop is more frequently used than soda.

Again, are you being deliberately thick, or is it just your uneducated hillbillyness? I never even argued that soda is used more frequently (though it is in the US - that map is bogus). We've only said that 'carbondated drink' is THE main definition of "soda," whereas "pop" has several more widely-used definitions. It's also just a sound and a retarded word to use to describe a drink.

[Leeza]

No one cares what Canadians have to say on the matter.

I care.

And it's Coke FTW. Pepsi sucks.

EDIT: Oh, and the title of this thread is Coke or Pepsi. Not Coke or Pepsi or Pop or Soda.

[Chemical]

The point is that if more people have attested to using pop in reference to the drink then it is universally more effective in describing the carbonated drink than soda is.

Since of course definition and thus communication is dependent on the wider use of.

And consider we (the "pop" using community) wouldn't be calling it "pop" if there wasn't some sort of visual/audio/textural/etc. relation. Psychologically I would like to insist that pop describes a carbonated beverage better than soda - but that's because it's phenominoligcal use has been ingrained in my culture and many others. To argue that soda or pop are better descriptive words is a debate of local vernaculars and since the greater use is pop then it suits to follow that the greater local utilizes pop.

And conclusively pop describes a carbonated beverage better than soda does.

Oh and your general disregard for my feelings stings me like a bee.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but name calling will send me to a psychiatrist. You can expect a bill for the damage you've done.

Canada says pop, I am Canadian, Canada rules, so Pop it is.

I don't really have a preference for Coke vs. Pepsi. I like Coke's ad campaigns and stuff more, and that's all that matters.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

I really hope that this debate between Raistlin and Chemical is some kind of parody or joke. If you two are seriously debating whether to use the term "pop" instead of "soda" and vice versa, that must be the most pointless debate I've ever been witness to. They mean the same thing. And you guys are still debating it two pages later.

*laughs*

[Chemical]

What can I say.
I'm passionate about pop.

;D

And in relation to the actual thread I've been thinking that I actually don't really drink any Pepsi products except for maybe Dasani water.

Pepsi I think does some juices too... I may have drank some of them if I knew what they were.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

They both give me nosebleeds

You haven't been here long enough yet to know that this is an endless debate of the utmost prime importance to EoFF.

[LunarWeaver]

YES, another chance to say "pop".

If I had to choose...Pepsi. Its name is fun to say at the very least.

[The Real Dark Messenger]

Coke

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Canada says pop, I am Canadian, Canada rules, so Pop it is.

Exactly. I have yet to encounter a Canadian who says "soda".

[Raistlin]

As if we needed any further evidence of Canadia's inferiority.

*looks unconvinced* Well, knowing you people, you probably all think it's "an endless debate of the utmost prime importance to EoFF."

Canada says pop, I am Canadian, Canada rules, so Pop it is.

Exactly. I have yet to encounter a Canadian who says "soda".

I just did when I first replied to this thread, and I'm Canadian. I use the term "pop" usually though, so I'm not sure why I used "soda."

As if we needed any further evidence of Canadia's inferiority.

Thanks a lot. I thought most people your age were above the "I'm better than you" grade-school tactic.

[Rye]

Don't be a jerk! At least most Canadians don't have some kind of creepy OCD for labelling carbonated drinks.

Don't go with hillbillies, I'm from Tennessee, and I'm a college student who made Principal's List every year during high school, attended drama and the chess team, and was voted "Most Academic" four times straight in my class and I say pop, so don't even go there, because I don't believe that and I find that offensive over something silly.

Thing is, it dosen't matter if it's called soda or pop, so stop proving it, it's off topic, just go back to the subject, or start a different thread.

EDIT: And stop the Canadian hate, it's silly, and it insults 1/6 of my background.
