For where you were raised see the linky - LINKY

I call it soda

however I don't disagree with the other choices (assuming it's a cola being called a cola)

the only thing that gets on my nerves is when drinks other than coca-cola classic get called coke. they have names unique to themselves, please use them

Willygt · 01-21-2009, 02:05 PM

Soda for me!

but I do know people who call it coke.

In Mexico the diference is in the north they call it Soda ( I am guessing for the U.S. influence), but in the south they call it "refresco" (which would be something as "refreshment").

There was a Double Cola. Came in a round glass bottle with ridges around it.
That stuff rocked.

MNSmoker · 01-21-2009, 08:12 PM

In Minnesota we generally call it Pop.

Bruzee · 01-21-2009, 09:34 PM

Soda......

ghostrider · 01-21-2009, 09:42 PM

Nother vote for pop here. I've traveled all up and down the East coast, and now on the West coast. Now I call it pop just to see what kind of reaction I get.

This is pretty much the conversation at every drive thru I go to....it's all coke and then you get specific on if its dr. pepper or pepsi, sprite, or mt. dew.

Soda for me, dislike the word "pop"

Conversattion: What can I get you to drink sir ???
Me: Bourbon ...
Waitperson: We don't have that, We have Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and Bud light ...
Me: .... I'm outta' here ...

Nick · 01-22-2009, 10:56 AM

Soda or coke, had a teacher from montana who called it pop and hated when some one said soda.

RC Cola > Coca Cola

01-22-2009, 11:02 AM

We always called it coke.
Ie:"Hey dale can you get me a coke?"

"What kind of coke do you want?"

"Dr. Pepper sounds good"

Ahhh, God bless Tx

Lumpold · 01-22-2009, 11:39 AM

Same deal -

I ask for a tissue. Why confuse the issue with brand names. And before you start, I call my Dyson a Dyson, not a hoover.

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.

Substitute 'Fizzy Drink' for 'POP' and I'm with you. I never understood why soda is called Club Soda in the US....

A cuba libre is so much more than a Rum and Coke.... have you not seen Cocktail?
