I am running an unofficial poll......

What do you call it??

Soda, Pop, Coke, etc.....

What do you ask for when you are craving that fizzy goodness?

Personally to me it is all Soda!

    It is mostly based upon geographical location.

    I call it pop.

    It's coke. It's all just coke.

    If that confuses people, pop. Never soda. Soda sounds, weird. Snooty.

    for the record, i say "soda," and find it odd that someone would call me snooty for using that word.

    I just mean, the word itself sounds weird to me, not the person saying it.

    We can be snooty together, or rather "more educated"

    I always call it soda, but most people in my area do call it pop. I'm in southern Missouri.

    I say soda when I'm talking about soft drinks in general, and the particular name of the soda when I want something specific.

    Most of the time I am drinking Coke Zero, so most of the time I do say "I'm going to get a coke" when I need to say something like that.

    We can be snooty together

    i might be the first West Virginian ever (even tangentially) referred to as "snooty."

    Reminds me of this guy:

    It's soda....as a kid growing up in the Midwest I called it sodie, then moved to the Pacific Northwest and they all say "pop" so I refined myself somewhat and say soda ☺️

    anything cola flavoured is coke, if it's fruity i'll probably call it soda.
