    It's soda pop. Or soda for short. Funny, I grew up in Michigan but my family says soda, almost everyone else says pop. Same in Minnesota, I say soda most my neighbors say pop. I guess we are all a bunch of soda rebels.

    I say soda, HB says coke, but then again, that's all he drinks, so that's what's always in the fridge:)

    It's POP. I'm from Chicago and that is what I always called it but since moving to Philly and no one says that around here, I eventually started saying soda most of the time.

    pop...

    Soda is an adjective...soda water...soda pop...soda fountain....

    :wink:

    I do remember being in the south and having them reply, when I said I wanted a Coke, ask "what kind?" Me...thinking different flavors of Coke? Asked "What do you have?" to get the response "Pepsi, diet pepsi, root beer, 7-up, orange...."

    Exactly. Same in Oklahoma. Its all coke.

    Kentucky also... They are all coke. Then if someone wants one you ask what kind.

    I grew up in Western Kentucky and a lot of people do use "Coke" as the interchangeable soda/pop. My grandmother always called it "Sodie Pop" when I was little. I just say drink then list what I have available now. It's so much easier than offering someone a "Coke" when all I have is Pepsi, beer, Diet Mountain Dew, water, or hard liquor....what if they ACTUALLY want a Coke?! I'm Southern enough I'd have to send someone out, discretely, to get some coke. heh.

    I'm gone for a minute and so many of you are so wrong. I told you it's a rhetorical question. It's pop.

    Kansas girl here...I have had this debate with people MANY times. Everyone around here (minus a few awesome people) calls it "pop". I CANNOT stand it! It's SODA!! While it drives me bonkers when I hear "pop" it's not near as bad as when people refer to dinner as "supper". WTF is "supper"? That for some reason just irks the heck out of me. :grumble: :laugh:

    It was breakfast, dinner, and supper until I started school where they served this weird thing called "lunch". Then it became breakfast, lunch, and dinner for me. It might be a southern thing.

    SODA!

    pop is my grandpas name.

    yep! My boyfriend says pop and I always think "grandpa?" He also says "fizzy drinks" for anything carbonated...darn British influence.

    Calling everything coke confuses me! I'm biased toward Pepsi anyway.

    I love the maps, lol. I grew up in California, where it was soda. Then I moved to Ohio, where it is pop. I would say soda and get funny looks, and they would say "you mean pop." I got tired of being corrected, so I quit drinking it, lol. I still call it soda and still occasionally get corrected.
