You mean you found Pepsi in the south, now that is a shock :shock:

I remember how hard it is to find Mountain Dew outside of a Grocery store.

I call it either soda or coke. Pop and cola just sound strange.

Always soda, and yes pop (esp soda-pop) sound strange to me as well. But honestly I don't need any other term really besides coke :twisted:

I've always referred to it as Pop.

Yes, it's called Coke. Doesn't matter what kind of Coke it is. It's a generalization, just like Q-tips and Kleenex.

soda vs pop is the same as dub vs grinder vs hogie
it all depends on where you live.
The worst is the peopel in Ct that say idear instead of idea. They sound like fucking retards.

I say soda and I've never heard anyone native to northeast call it pop. Its like I've never heard anyone from boston call a frying pan a skillet. But one thing that I think is completely native to massachusetts is calling the water fountain the bubbler.

Soda, a lot of people in MA call it tonic as well. Like it was stated before I've never heard anyone up here say pop.

everyone around here in west michigan calls it pop. i've been calling it soda for the last year or so just to be different.

Bad example. Q-tips and Kleenex are essentially the same regardless of manufacturer. Carbonated beverages are very different depending on who makes it. BTW, I LOVE the bouncing fat kid. Everybody I show it to just cracks up.

Soda in CA and MA. When I was there, I noticed a lot of people in CO said "pop". (For the longest time, I thought it was just a quirky term my boss there used.) Didn't know about the southern Coke thing.

I find the Boston accent amusing. Buckle up when you're in your cah; it's the lawr.

I've heard John Kerry say idear too. There's no f'n 'R', but you know W gets lambasted for the whole nuclear vs 'nucular pronunciation'... But I digress, that is for another forum.

In Western NY it was pop, but since I moved to central NY everything has been soda. I've managed to get a few people around here to convert to saying pop. Check out the map at http://www.popvssoda.com/ for more of a breakdown.

in the far north they also say "ern" instead of "iron" and a thing i find odd is a "creek" is called a "crick" in the north by extreme yanks, but it is also called a "crick" in the south by extreme red necks.. sorta odd...

My gramma does this too.

I say pop more often, and I'm about 15 minutes away from you. I like 'soda' much better though.

One is a shitty dialect, the other is ignorance. But as you said, that is for another place and another time.

Pop! yeaps from Minnesota.. its like.. tennis shoes.. and sneakers too.. that northern dialect. I call kleenex, tissues.. O.o.. and I think it's MN has that thing with "hunt'n and fish'n" no -ING.. and also .. sentences ending with a preposition.. ah yea letting out some nice random stuff.

Normally I just call pop by whatever I'm drinking like Sprite, Dr. Pepper, etc.

Yup, we call it the bubbler too. New England woo!

Anyway, it's soda. I never even heard the term pop until I was watching some Canadian show a couple years ago.

And as for the sodavspop link above there is some humor to be had by seraching 'other' and seeing peoples responses

I call it pop but honestly I think soda is probably a better word.

P.S. Calling it coke is kinda dumb IMO. A COKE is a COKE, a PEPSI is not a COKE.


It's like saying:
Hey I wanna get a chevy. No wait, that's a Ford. I wanted a chevy, ya know, except Honda brand.

:-s fuck that

I'm originally from Mansfield, OH - so I still say "pop" myself.

I know I had a good laugh when those pop machines showed up in the Halo 2 maps - got to rub it in with my friends here in NC who say "drink" for just about everything but sweet tea.

lol, right around the idaho area, there is just white. They only drink pickle juice around there! they dont know what the hell "pop"and "soda" is.

i was just about to make a poll on this because of the controversy in my "favorite Pop" thread on what to call this tasty carbonated drink.

Coke if I'm ordering a drink: "Could I have a Coke please?"
And soda if I'm using it in a sentence: "I'm gonna go get a soda-you want one?"
NEVER pop.
