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.

This is Sody Pop erasure
Had to scroll all the way to the bottom to find a fellow soda pop enjoyer. Shame.
Bring it back!
Pass me a fizzy beverage, my good sir.
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 saw the little runt sitting there on a log I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda". Y O D A, Yoda
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.
"You want a beautiful name? Soda."
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?
All brown sodas are Coke. Sprite and it's equivalents were separate at least where I grew up. you ask for a coke and the person taking your order asks "what kind?" and you clarify "Pepsi" or "root beer" or "coke coke".
Yes
I've lived in many locations throughout the gray area for most of my life. I've never heard "coke" used as a generic for all sodas. It's some sort of pervasive myth. Maybe that was the case at some point in history but not in the last 47 years.
Nope. I live in the DFW metro and nobody calls it coke unless it's literally a coca cola.
As a Coke, I have to say I never soda this coming
I say coke not in reference to all soda, but rather it's the only one I drink so naturally it's the only one I say vocally.
I hate when I order a coke and they're like "what kind?" Motherfucker I already said Coke.
The arc of history bends toward justice.
I usually order "Diet Whatever"
I make it a point to intentionally dead name soft drinks based on the region I am currently in.
Forcing servers to engage in neuron activation is my hobby.
Hey, can you pass me a cola coke soda pop fizzy?
Grew up as a Pop but switched to Soda in adulthood. Saying "pop" sounds bizarre and crass now.
sodafest destiny
New Mexico is still a Coke state.
I dunno about southern NM, but ABQ and North is Soda.
Same with North Carolina, though we could ask for a Pepsi, depending on preference.
We would ask for a Coke, then we would be asked what kind of Coke, then you would reply Pepsi.
Agua con gas por favor?
Hands over a Jerrycan of gasoline and a cup of water
Now I get why joe screamed SODA on thet one rally.
Divide and conquer.
