    Default Carbonated beverages...?

    Alright, everybody calls it something. Soda, pop, coke, carbonated beverages. People in the South call it "coke" (or most of it, not all would qualify), people in the North and West call it "pop" and "soda"...I don't know what people in other countries call it. So what about you?

    No, it depends option? I alternate inbetween the various terms from time to time. Right now I'm in a just soda phase right now so I think I'll go with that.
    Look, I'm a strange person. When I was younger, nothing used to make me laugh any harder then when somebody made fun of me. Unfortunatly for me, my mockers looked at me strangely and stopped when I did this. Go figure.

    It depends what it is, but I usually call the drink by its proper name. For example, if I'm going to retrieve a Coke from the fridge, I'll say something along the lines of "I'm going to get a Coke". If I intend to fetch a can of Dandelion and Burdock from the fridge, I'll say "I'm going to get a can of Dandelion and Burdock", and so on and so forth.

    What's Dandelion and Burdock? Well, that's something for another thread.

    I call it juice I think Or I just call it by its name.
    However, I used to have a friend who called it "popping juice" that used to have me in stitches!

    I call it by whatever the name of the product is.

    "Can I have some PEPSI?"
    "I want some 7UP"

    Yeah, you get the picture.


    Be free.

    I say:
    'I'm gonna get a can of Coke' even if I get something completely different... Probably becasue I was gonna get Coke, but decided to get something else.
    And that Dandelion and Burdock... I think I had that once, when I was at the Pantomime. Didn't like it. I think it is made of Dandelion and Burdock (You never would have guessed, huh?).
