    In Texas, it's "coke." What kinda coke ya want? Co-Cola, Dr Pepper, Grape Nehi? LOL

    Exactly. Same in Oklahoma. Its all coke.

    Hmm. It was always soda for me when I was growing up in Oklahoma City.

    It's soda pop. But when it's not it's just soda.

    Exactly my thoughts. I use both.

    I like saying 'soda water' for the hell of it, too.

    Soda! I remeber my grandparents telling me back in the day there were "Soda Jerks" dispensing soda at soda bars.

    In KS it's pop. For those of you that say "Ya wanna Coke?", I'd say, "Hell no, I don't want a Coke, I want a Diet Mt Dew!"

    It's Soda where I am.

    The mostly southern habit of calling it all coke baffles me. Surely it must lead to misunderstandings.

    Can of juice or fizzy juice here.

    A Glaswegian service user at work called it "Juice" & totally threw me :laugh: I'm from North East UK. We call it pop - & Tap water is Council pop!

    It's pop

    But I'm an Ohioan, & we invented that.
    We're all pop people. 'Soda' is weird to us when we hear it

    Well, unless pop comes after

    I'd rather have a soda in my bag, than a pop in my sack.

    It's neither - it's "minerals" (Irish Slang).

    My Gran used to ask - Would you like a drink of mineral?

    Otherwise it is pop..

    I'm from NJ and we say soda, and then I moved to Arkansas and they say pop. 18 years later I still say soda.

    In NE Ohio, it's 'pop', although when I used to travel around the country I got used to saying 'soda'. My dad snorts with derision every time I let 'soda' slip out now: around here, if a person says 'soda' they're seen as sort of pretentious or something.
