POP Question

I'm all over the place...
Grew up drinking Pepsi, but prefer Coke.
All time favorite is Mountain Dew (ironically, a Pepsi product)...
At the movies, though, it MUST be Cherry Coke (to pair up with my Peanut M&M's and fake-butter popcorn).0 -

Next, coke > pepsi, without question.
I drink Coke - recently switched from Dr. Pepper as it became too sweet for me.
My list:
1. Coke
2. Sprite
3. Dr. Pepper
Stop spreading misinformation!
Pepsi tastes like burps!0 -

I have a question now....
Soda (or pop for you midwesterners I guess)
I'm going to consider this question 1. Pop. (Although I went to school in the east so sometimes use soda and pop interchangeably and tend to write soda more often than not. Feels more formal, less friendly.)
For the rest of the questions:
Diet.
Coke.
I switched to diet as a teenager and can't drink the regular and I can barely stand Pepsi either, tastes flat.
Quite fond of various root beers, ginger ales, and cream sodas, also.

Cherry coke zero. Besides water it's really all I drink (in much smaller quantities than the water of course).0

I used to be an avid Mt Dew drinker, but the stuff is too sweet for my tastes now. I still have an occasional soda, but I prefer Mexican Fanta or Mexican Coke in a bottle made with real sugar cane.
Delicious on hot days over ice.
I also like the San Pellegrino orange and blood orange sparkling water drinks....I like the lemon too, but only in vodka0 -
Yep, where I live it is all "coke"
I prefer fountain soda/coke/pop.
Coca-Cola with cherry and vanilla, with a bit of Dr. Pepper mixed in.
Pretty much a coca-cola person when I drink it. I do not drink diet, but did love Fresca, might need to get some again. I just do not like Pepsi, never have. I also like fruit based sodas.
When I was a teen, I was all about Surge and RC Cola.0 -
ETA I live in the Midwest and I call it soda. I am not real clear on where the soda/pop line is, but it may be somewhere in Missouri. I live in St. Louis and it's soda, I have a few friends in KC that call it pop
A good friend of mine grew up in St. Louis and said almost the same thing. I asked her if it was the same as the Missouri/Missoura line and she got mad. (Okay, not really.)

I have a question now....
Soda (or pop for you midwesterners I guess)
Regular
Diet
Or Zero/MAX
Also.... do you prefer Coke products- or Pepsi products- and yes it matters.
My own personal taste:
1.) Regular pepsi
2.) Fresca/Sprite Zero
3.) Pepsi max- I don't like diets... at all.
In order of deliciousness and calorie needs- I chose regular pepsi first- followed by lower calorie subs if I can't work it into my day and I need some fizzy satisfcation.
southern... its all coke lol... but I drink Diet Coke0 -

Is Fresca still around?
yeah- comes in original citrus- some sort of weird new lemon/orange or something and a fruit one..
and since none of that is technical and I sound like a complete and utter nitwit- I'm going to google
Sparkling Peach Citrus (which comes in a notably orangish can)
Sparkling Black Cherry Citrus (which comes in notably- mauve- black cherry indicvative can)
Original Citrus- which is in a greenish can.
I actually really like fresca- even after the updated and modernized their cans LOL- still makes me happy.
Me too, mainly the regular. When I first got my current job the refrigerator was stocked with all sorts of weird stuff, including Fresca, so I was obsessed with it (addicted?) for a while. Also Tab, another thing I thought was gone.0 -
I'm one of those crazy people who have given up soda - almost. I do have one or two a month. Always Dr. Pepper or Fresca. Best in a can.0
-
Pepsi > Coke
mmmm Mountain Dew.0 -
Mexican Coke is the best, hands down no contest (made with cane sugar).
What I actually drink is diet Canada Dry because I'm always nauseated.0 -
Having a diet coke right now because I want to be Janet Jackson type of nasty0
-
I think this should sufficiently articulate my view on the subject...
Also - to the soda vs pop line of demarcation - I grew up in KC and it was called pop but now that I live in STL it is called soda - so maybe somewhere around Columbia, MO is the carbonated Mason-Dixon?0 -

Regular without a question. If I'm drinking soda, I might as well go all out.
My favorites are Pepsi, Cherry Pepsi, and Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash (only comes out around Thanksgiving/Christmas).
I've since switched from soda to Crystal Light b/c it leaves more room for ice cream.0 -
I could never drink pepsi, can't stand the taste.
I love coke and Vanilla coke. Could never drink diet or zero they taste awful.0 -
Also I didn't see it mentioned earlier, but I find fountain soda to be FAR superior to cans or bottles. In order of preference I would say fountain, can, bottle. We used to own a bar and I was far more excited about the soda gun and unlimited supply of Diet Coke than I was access to all the liquor/beer at cost...0

You just can't beat draft A&W, especially with a big ol' scoop of good vanilla ice cream0

Wait...I take my last post back. This:
I miss you, Crystal Pepsi.0 -

Little know fact: there is another soda/pop geographical line up north. Wisconsin = soda. UP (Upper Michigan) = pop. And a small DMZ between the two where people call it "soda pop". True story.0 -
I feel like we only have Coke in the south- where I grew up in the north with Pepsi:
1) Pepsi Max
2) Coke Zero
3) Vanilla Coke Zero
Zero and Max because I would rather eat my calories... Missin' my Pepsi Blue tho!0 -
Hi, my name's Undergloom, and I'm addicted to Coke Zero.
Seriously; I have to get off this stuff.0 -

I live in STL as well, and we definitely call it pop. My dad lives in Detroit, and he comes home asking for a 'pop' and I just:

I prefer regular, but I'll drink diet when boozing it up.
I prefer Root Beer. But if I have to choose: Pepsi. I grew up on pepsi.
I don't drink soda on the regular. Every now and then I crave root beer. And every now and then I like a good rum with diet coke (and a squeeze of lime).
I knew someone that was from a small town (not sure the name) with a Sprite factory that provided most of the jobs in the town. They called every carbonated beverage Sprite which lead to the joke:
"Do you want something to drink?"
"I'll take a Sprite"
"What kind?"
"A Sprite"
"Yeah, but what kind?"
"Sprite!"
It goes on for a while longer but you get the picture.
This is similar to here.
"What would you like to drink?
"Coke, please."
"Which kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."
When I first moved here, I didn't know "coke" was the catch-all phrase like soda/pop. When I was working the concession stand, someone would come up and order "two frito pies, a pickle, and three cokes." I would get them three coca-colas, and then they would tell me that wasn't what they ordered. When I would say, "sir, you said three cokes." They would respond, "yeah, three cokes: diet coke, coke, and dr. pepper." So confusing to 10 year old me.0 -

I would walk over hot coals for these drinks. Coke only when in comes in a bottle.

I prefer smoking over pop because they are both the same...0

JK ...
I do not drink much soda but when I do it is usually diet coke....0 -
Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper is probably the only diet drink I can stand (other diet dr. peppers are fine, too). Otherwise the diet aftertaste is too strong for me.
I'll have the occasional regular Coke because it helps my headache that I've had non-stop for almost 7 years if it gets really bad (Diet seems to not help as much).
And I love Mt. Dew and several but not all of its varieties (Live Wire, Game Fuel, and Supernova are my faves)...I powered through preparing for my exam for candidacy and later writing my master's thesis and prepping for the defense after I decided to leave mostly on copious amounts of those. Now that I'm done with grad school for now I keep myself to one can per day off when I'm gaming and just exercise self-control in not having more than that.
Oddly enough, my mother has an allergic reaction to Pepsi (throat closes up!) but not to Coke. They certainly are not the same.0
