Soda vs Cola vs Pop - Page 3

Cola. Everybody in Holland calls it Cola

RBOrrell · 01-21-2009, 09:07 AM

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.

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.

Soda

We have soda fountains that dispense flavored sodas.

Bottles of soda say "XXXXXX flavored soda"

Exhibit A

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

I guess we've all been had, its filtering down from the top. Its a conspiracy I tell you.

Grew up in a "pop" area. Still call it pop most of the time, but if I'm ordering a fountain drink, it's called just that. Fountain drink, or large drink, or something with drink in it when at fast food.

replicant_argent · 01-21-2009, 09:50 AM

Escalator Kleenex.

Oh, sorry... uh.. I'm supposed to say "pop" and do. When I ask for a Coke, and they say "Is Pepsi alright?" I do one of two things.
Look disgusted and ask for the other alternatives.
Ask them why they would carry such an inferior product..

I've never heard anyone order a Rum and Pepsi before. There must be a damn good reason.

Not that I am a Cuba Libre` drinker on a normal basis, but it's the thought that counts.

With a cigar, I do prefer Coke Zero at the moment.
or, uh... other beverages...

hotreds · 01-21-2009, 09:55 AM

"Diet." Covers everything.

Sorry to threadjack, but this reminds me of a story. Growing up in Europe I was unfamiliar with many of the expressions used in the USA. I asked a gal out on a date in college- to see a movie- and she happened to reach the box office before me- whereupon she turned around and asked; "Are we going Dutch?" Not having a clue what she meant, but wanting to be agreeable, I smiled; "Yes!" OOOPS!

An executive was being moved from NYC to Cincinnati. The moving company was from Cincinnati. As they were unpacking, the exec's wife said: "Careful with those lamps, they are antiques!" The movers, not hearing her well due to the wrapping paper used the typical polite Cincinnati expression for "what?" asked: "Please?"

"OK- PLEASE be careful with those lamps, they are antiques!"
