It's amazing, isn't it.

Coke and Pepsi spend millions, maybe billions, a year on advertising their brand. And what do we say?

Me: Ill have a coke with that.

Shop: We only sell Pepsi.

Me: Yeah, whatever...


I thought Soda was the US term for the UK pop.

I'm not really "from" anywhere as my father was military. I say soda. My sorority sister in college was from Montana, and she said pop.

There's a map for that.



This is a topic I've discussed with friends at length in the past.

Neither. I just say what it is: coke, diet coke, sprite, etc.

I grew up in Northwest Indiana and we said pop. This furthers my belief that once you get to Indianapolis you are suddenly in "The South." State borders have nothing to do with it.

I agree with this because I went to college in Bloomington, and Indy is closer to B-town than to Fort Wayne (where I grew up). That's enough south for me to be in Southern Indiana.

COKE. No matter if it's "coke" or not I'm from the "south"
My mother in law says "sod-er" she's originally from New York. I always make fun of her for saying it like that :happy:

This is hilarious to me. Ok, uncles live out west. One has ALWAYS lived near Seattle, one lived in Montana for a long time, but moved to Seattle a few years ago. The one that always lived in Seattle (and his kids, etc) say pop. My other uncle (and all his kids, etc) say soda.

Growing up (before the age of 5 or 6) my parents, and by extension me and my siblings, said pop. When my parents divorced, my mom went back to school and met this lady that later became her best friend. She was from Boston. She said, and all her kids, said soda. I thought everything she said instead of what I said sounded better aesthetically, so I switched it. I say soda instead of pop, sneakers instead of tennis shoes, lollipops instead of suckers...the rest of my immediate family still says what they always said, tho.

Very interesting topic.

Oh, yes. Phonetically, that's how my mom's friend said soda, too

Soda, but for some twisted reason my father still says Tonic... really???

I am from Massachusetts...

Massachusetts - did you drink Moxie? I love it when people call soda pop tonic. haha

And I call it soda pop - from PA, always called it pop, went to college with some very verbal rebels from Virginia, so I started calling it soda pop just to shut them up. Mostly, I call it whatever it is, Mountain Dew, Root Beer, Cola, etc.

In Texas, everything is a Coke.

Waitress: What would you like to drink?

Texan: Coke

Waitress: What kind?

Texan: Dr Pepper

If anyone says soda or pop its a dead give away that they're not a native Texan.

It's the same for Oklahoma. Everything is called Coke and then you have to specify which kind of "Coke".

I grew up calling it soda, and had to giggle when we moved to Nebraska and it was all "pop".

I'm from the north east of England and we say pop.

Also from Ohio - it was always pop!

Moved to Michigan for grad school and it was still pop - very much a midwest thing. Now I say soda once in a while just for fun.
