pop is getting smaller and towards the midwest, eventually it will just be minisoda.

We have them on the run, boys!

Maybe the Pop and Soda users can at least band together to get Coke removed forever before returning to their own fight. I don't know really know which of those two I prefer, but it is insane to refer to a Mountain Dew as a Coke.

I'm from GA, and I never understood people calling all soda a coke. Giving someone a Pepsi when they asked for a coke is enough to start an altercation around here -- they are not at all considered interchangeable

It's pop and I will die on this hill

In Australia, they're called soft drinks because they have little or no alcohol in them.

Soda is carbonated water.

Pop is dad.

Pop propaganda

Born in a pop stronghold, and it is still holding. Coke is a brand, not all pop!

Dr Pepper is king either way

Softdrink

sodi pops

Pass me a fizzy beverage, my good sir.

I grew up almost exclusively hearing "pop," and use it in casual situations, but I prefer to use "soda" in public. Asking a server what kind of "pop" they have seems odd to me, but at the same time asking a friend if I can grab a "soda" seems odd as well.

Fizzy drink for me in the UK, although most other people I know call it 'sparkling'

This is Sody Pop erasure

I say 'Soda' but with a Midwestern accent to compromise.

I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda S O D A, soda

I mean, I moved to Michigan from one of the soda areas, and I give people shit when they say pop so. Am I the baddie, no it is they who are wrong.

GOOD! I grew up living in the north-east and we called it "Soda", then moved west and kept hearing people say "pop" and it was the most annoying thing, glad to see everyone else is coming around to the correct name.

"You want a beautiful name? Soda."

I'm doing my part to fight back, moved to California from Michigan and my girlfriend used to say pop ironically but she's said it so much now she uses it too.

Question for the folks in the gray area... Are you all referring to all brands and flavors of carbonated soft drinks as 'Coke,' or has Coca-Cola beat out all competitors there, or how does that work?
