Soda vs Cola vs Pop

So most of us drink Pepsi or Coke or some other smiliar brand of soft drink. The question is what do you refer to it as. This seems to vary from region to region. Do you call it Soda, Cola, or Pop?

For me it is soda.

In this part of the Midwest....we call it pop.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Here we call almost everything a Coke. Then you ask what kind

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

:tpd:

Normally the conversation goes something like this:

Them: What would you like to drink?
Me: Coke
Them: Pepsi okay?
Me: Whatever.


According to the posted map I'm suppose to be in the "soda" calling area. But nope - everything is 'coke" unless it's Sprite. Sprite is Sprite the rest are coke.

In MassHolia growing up as a kid my Dad used to call it Tonic

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Growing up the in the 50's and 60's we'd just call it by the generic term,,,,coke. There wasn't the grocery store lineup like there is now with a bazillion name brands of soft drinks. When we were asked, " Do you want a coke" it was either Coke or Pepsi, that's all there was. If you wanted root beer you went to the A&W drive up. Ahhh, the golden days when things were simple.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

soda!!!!!!!!! up here in NY it seems the only place they call it pop is in Rochester.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Hey now... There was a third player back then - RC. Mom used to buy that as it was cheaper than Coke or Pepsi, I still prefer it. But as we was poor, usually it was cool-aid out of the "icebox". Had to leave the Sought to learn what a fridge was.

For where you were raised see the linky - LINKY

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Soda, or the brand name.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

Cola. Everybody in Holland calls it Cola

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

We have POP machines. We go to the store to buy POP.

Coke and Pepsi are COLAs. Cola is a type of POP.

SODA is a tasteless/colourless fizzy liquid that some people mix with their scotch. I drink SODA with a slice of lime.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop
 

I remember when I was 12 I met someone from Texas and they told me about how all soft drinks were referred to as "coke." "What kind of Coke do you want?" God what a stupid concept.

Re: Soda vs Cola vs Pop

The vending machines you refer to are listed under "soda machines", not "pop machines" on vendors websites. :rolleyes:
