    My grandparents who live to the east of me (We're talking about England here, folks) call it pop, but I guess I'd just call it a soda.

    The word "Pop" always seems so Southern to me. I call it Soda, as pretty much everyone else in NY does.

    Generally, everyone in my family calls it by the brand name. But I usually call it pop, cause soda mean soda water (so gross).
    It doesn't matter what any of us is looking for,we'll never find it,
    because it's not even there

    I grew up saying Pop, but everyone here says Soda, and I've picked it up.


    I hate Southerners who call everything "coke". >o

    Yeah, fizzy drink, fizzy or soft drink all work for me. More often than not, though, I just say the specific name of whatever drink it is, eg. Coke, Fanta, Pepsi, Tango, etc.

    Neither. If it's Fanta, it's Fanta. If Coca Cola, then that.

    And out of the two, soda is certainly the correct one. WTF is 'pop'? What's so poppy about it? It's a water-based beverage with CO2 -> soda.

    I just call it a softdrink or by its brand name, but my parents call it Coke no matter what brand it is.

    Everyone I know calls it soda pop. Or maybe just soda. Occasionally just pop.

    Around here, I don't think anyone really cares. Which is why I don't usually partake in the Soda vs. Pop threads.

    It would seem that Soda is winning....
    Which Final Fantasy 8 Character Are You? You are Quistis! You're a popular one. Life keeps you busy,
    but you still try to slow down once in a while and enjoy the
    world around you, in spite of how busy you are. You're in good
    shape, and you can't help being a bit of a flirt.

    Its soda bitches...get it right.

    Actually I dispise "pop" because I never heard people call it that till I came here to hell...for all my life I always called it soda, as did everyone I was ever around.

    On TV and crap I always here it called soda too. Anything that represents Oklahoma to me I dispise...and calling soda "pop" is one of those things...ugh.
    I like Kung-Fu.
