Pop or Soda for you?

 

[MoonMommy]

We call it Pop

Soda here, and I am not a Democrat

 

[justpeachy92]

I call it soda, my parents call it a soft drink, I know several people that will call it cola even when having root beer.

 

[Parksfamily5]

It is pop here. When I think about it pop sounds kind of dumb. That is just what we have always called it.

 

[Parksfamily5]

I should add that my 3 yr old refers to it as " Daddy juice" because dad is usually the only one that drinks it.

 

[McD]

I call it both..or i call it soda pop to annoy people. Hah.

 

[AmyBoz]

Soda or Coke.

 

[pip]

Pop here. I think the name is a regional thing.

 

[DJ1972]

soda here:sun:

 

[SDMom]

soda and I'm not a Democrat either

 

[Lady_V]

Well... I am in Mass... and we call it TONIC (does that make me a liberal???):rollsmile

 

[warramra]

It is a Soft Drink here. I heard that we call it that in Eastern NC to differentiate it from the 'hard' drinks the Baptist weren't supposed to have.

Wow that's pretty cool. And it looks pretty accurate to me. I lived near St. Louis for most of my life, then around 11 my mom moved us to Gary Indiana. I first heard someone call it pop there and it sounded so weird to me. It seems like a baby word to me and when I hear adults use it, it's like hearing an adult say booboo or wee wee. I dunno. Just sounds weird to me. :laugh:

We call it soda or coke. My Grandma who grew up in Rhode Island calls it "soder". We used to get a kick out of that as kids, no clue why. I too say soda pop when being a smart alec.

I call it soft drink, DH calls it pop (yes, I think its a regional thing ~ even the grocery store signs over the aisles here say "pop"...drives me nuts!) :rollsmile

 

[asimplegirl]

Its coke. But, this only refers to a dark colored carbonated beverage. We call the clear ones sprite, root beer is root beer, and so on...

I have never heard anyone refer to it as anything other than coke.
This chart seems pretty darn accurate.

As for the grocery store:
Our signs don't say anything like that, though. The signs will say like "coca cola products or pepsi products" lol.

I've never heard anyone call it tonic here :laughinghard: (except when referring to actual tonic water)

 

[joyofsix]

We call it pop. Soda sounds snooty. My ds used to call beer 'daddy pop' :rollsmile

 

[Michelle68]

Here in Texas we usually call it a coke.
