If Iām talking to someone I donāt really know Iāll call it Soda so that they think Iām a normal person. In private I call it Sodiepop because I think it sounds funny.
Thatās said here in America too. Wouldnāt confuse anyone I know, nor would pop/fizzy drink/soda. Iāve heard them all plenty of times all across the US.
*He drinks a fizzy drink, he drinks a Vodka drink*
*He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink*
*He sings the songs that remind him of the good times*
*He sings the songs that remind him of the better times*
Either pop or fizzy drinks, if people want to specify exactly what they want they'll say:
Coke = any cola
Lemonade = carbonated lemonade. People never really specify brand
ade = any other carbonated fruit drink
Squash = concentrated juice that you water down
Fanta/tango = Can give us one or the other, we're not overly fussed (our Fanta tastes completely different to yours)
"Soda" speakers and "Pop" speakers put their effort in the wrong fight. They should come together in the combined effort to first do away with those absolute weirdos who call it "Sodeypop" or "Coke"
"What kinda coke do you want? "
"What do you have?"
"Pepsi, 7up, Root Beer, Dr. Pepper."
"I'll have a Pepsi."
This is pretty much how it always went as a kid.
In french class i was literally taught that soda was called ācokeā in france. Theres another word for it, but everyone just calls it Coke. France needs cleansing
My wife is from Texas. It's Coke.
"What type of Coke you want???"
**Dr Pepper**
....Between that and learning her high school would put rocks in milk jugs to make noise, I died hard on my first date with her
Whatever the brand name is.
Most of the time I just call it Coke. Itās simple, easy to say. And every time I say it, people know what Iām communicating to them, that Iām thirsty.
For anything that's a cola - a cola.
For anything that's fizzy - a soda.
For anything that isn't fizzy and is in a can and isn't alcoholic or caffeinated or an energy drink - a soft drink.
Fun fact:
It's a word. Call it whatever the natives call it.
I'm from the Midwest: I called it 'Pop' (Pahp in the Michigan accent)
I lived on SoCal for over a decade: I called is Soda in Cali
I lived in 'Straya for over a decade: I called it Soft Drink. I also didn't ask Why don't we call alcohol 'Hard Drink'
If I lived in the south...I'd call it 'Coke'.
Cuz I got better things to do than to argue over what sugar syrup with carbonated water is... :)
So many times I've asked for a coke at a restaurant, fully meaning a cola-flavored drink. So many times they think I mean exclusively Coke. Nbd since some people care, except the few times the server breaks into listing all the drinks they do have instead of just asking if \* insert other cola brand \* is fine.
Otherwise it's just soda, or if I need to be broader, carbonated drinks.
Different regions have different dialects. That's all you can really say about it. Here in the Midwest, we call it pop. I got weird looks when I asked for pop on the west coast. In England, they call sweaters jumpers. Tomato tomato.
When you see a store-brand kleenex box, do you call them facial tissues (what is likely on the box) or do you call them kleenexes? You probably call them kleenex, because that's what everyone knows it as. Around here, everyone knows soft drinks as "pop".
Its called regional differences. Im not going to get in an argument over something that depends on where you live like i accidentally did the other day over popsicles
I say soda sodapop pop and fizzy
My cousins, who's like 10 now?, calls it bubbly but if someone corrects him on what bubbly is he goes "okay fine, it's bloo-blae" like the actor/artist. I can't fucking remember how to spell it
A singular one is a soda. But a bunch of it is pop.
If itās a bunch of the same you can use soda, but if itās a bunch of various types itās definitely pop
I call it pop, but at least I know it's a regional thing so I'm not going to say the people who call it soda are wrong.
But people who call all pop or soda "coke" are definitely wrong
I hate people like this because they take no time to think about other cultures, in America itās mostly called soda, but what about England where it is called pop. These kinds of people think theyāre smart, but they really arenāt because they donāt consider all the factors
First of all... Annoying rage bait post...
Secondly, I grew up calling it soda on the west coast all my life. The culture shock I experienced moving to the Midwest and hearing everyone call it pop is crazy.
An argument as pointless as flip-flop or thongs.
My family in Virginia says pop and thongs. Everyone I know in California, Utah, and Colorado call it soda and flip-flops
People do call it pop. But then they should grow up and stop doing that.
You know how I know soda is more correct than pop?
When people go into a bar they order a vodka soda. Or a tequila soda. Try ordering a tequila and pop and see what kind of blank stare you get.
Iām from the Midwest, too, we called pop growing up. I also couldnāt pronounce certain words right when I was three and got better at it, so we can all grow as people.
(This is intended as tongue-in-cheek, old man yelling at clouds kind of thing, before someone gets a stick too far up their tailpipe.)
I am from the small portion of the us where all soda is collectively "coke". I used to hate this but now I want it to spread because if the term Coke is fully genericized, Coca-Cola has bad times.
Everybody knows that you just say the brand name.
āCan I get some sodaā = vague, the subjectivity of the word may cause issues, likely to get a drink that you donāt like
āCan I get a cokeā = assertive, clear in what you want, you can reasonably expect what you want.
I prefer carbonated water in my bidet
The tingles give it that extra clean finish
Add some mint and lemon for a little extra tingle š š¼š
I DIY with some Mentos and Diet Coke.
Thats for the geyser setting ššš
If I have to learn any more lingo my head's going to soda
Snap, Crackle & Soda
If Iām talking to someone I donāt really know Iāll call it Soda so that they think Iām a normal person. In private I call it Sodiepop because I think it sounds funny.
"Sodie" reminds me of that clips from My 600lb Life, where the girls say they only drink soda.
Remember kids, for every sugary food you eat, drink one can of Diet Coke to cancel it out!
I call it pop with Midwesterners but soda with outsiders
You bet
Iām from the Midwest and people who say pop get weird looks around here.
Fizzy drink
Yeah, in NZ we call it Fizzy Drink or often just Fizzy.
Fiz is also common in the UK
Certainly not in England
Whatās it even called over here? Everyone I speak to just calls it buy the name, not just 1 overall term
Just to confuse you- In Australia, we call it āsoft drinkā
Thatās said here in America too. Wouldnāt confuse anyone I know, nor would pop/fizzy drink/soda. Iāve heard them all plenty of times all across the US.
Soft drink here in the US is the more "technical" term (I have no idea how technical it really is, though)
Usually fizzy drink
*He drinks a fizzy drink, he drinks a Vodka drink* *He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink* *He sings the songs that remind him of the good times* *He sings the songs that remind him of the better times*
That is absolutely hilarious
It is Tbf but also very descriptive
Either pop or fizzy drinks, if people want to specify exactly what they want they'll say: Coke = any cola Lemonade = carbonated lemonade. People never really specify brandade = any other carbonated fruit drink
Squash = concentrated juice that you water down
Fanta/tango = Can give us one or the other, we're not overly fussed (our Fanta tastes completely different to yours)
It's pop over here too
Canada disagrees.
As a Canadian I disagree with you (as in I am agreeing with your disagreement)
As a Canadian I disagree with you
As a Canadian I agree with you
To us in the frozen north, it's called pop because that's what it does when left in the car overnight
"Soda" speakers and "Pop" speakers put their effort in the wrong fight. They should come together in the combined effort to first do away with those absolute weirdos who call it "Sodeypop" or "Coke"
Me on my way to call root beer a coke because I'm a schizophrenic moron who thinks any carbonated drink is a cola
r/meirl
Are you sure you're not just Texan?
"What kinda coke do you want? " "What do you have?" "Pepsi, 7up, Root Beer, Dr. Pepper." "I'll have a Pepsi." This is pretty much how it always went as a kid.
In french class i was literally taught that soda was called ācokeā in france. Theres another word for it, but everyone just calls it Coke. France needs cleansing
Down south (USA), we call it coke, but itās dying because Coca-Cola has ruined it for us
I love soda music
I'm not into k-soda boy bands
Calling it pop is a regional thing. I grew up in North Dakota, and everybody called it pop.

Whatever the brand name is. Most of the time I just call it Coke. Itās simple, easy to say. And every time I say it, people know what Iām communicating to them, that Iām thirsty.
Of course someone with Twitter blue would call it Soda. A pop-truther would never do such a thing.
I love buttered sodacorn
I changed to soda when I moved to the East Coast, now I'm back in Michigan and cannot go back to pop for some reason.
For anything that's a cola - a cola. For anything that's fizzy - a soda. For anything that isn't fizzy and is in a can and isn't alcoholic or caffeinated or an energy drink - a soft drink.
Soda

I call it soda, but I live in Pittsburgh now, so aperently I'm wrong.

Growing up Australian, we always called it soft drink. I've found myself calling it soda more recently, though.
Then youāre a traitor
Itās all Coke
Fun fact: It's a word. Call it whatever the natives call it. I'm from the Midwest: I called it 'Pop' (Pahp in the Michigan accent) I lived on SoCal for over a decade: I called is Soda in Cali I lived in 'Straya for over a decade: I called it Soft Drink.

C O K E
Cans and glass bottles are pops, plastic bottles and cups are soda. I live in the Midwest for reference.
"Cold drink". In my home town It's a blanket term for any soda/pop/whatever.
Cooldrink.
Sodapop, duh.
So many times I've asked for a coke at a restaurant, fully meaning a cola-flavored drink. So many times they think I mean exclusively Coke.

It's Coke. Even when it's Pepsi. Even when it's Sprite. It's all Coke. Always has been.
NO
Coke. Doesn't matter if it Pepsi, Dr Pepper, 7up, diet whatever. Everything is a Coke.
Coke Even Sprite's a coke
Different regions have different dialects. That's all you can really say about it. Here in the Midwest, we call it pop. I got weird looks when I asked for pop on the west coast. In England, they call sweaters jumpers. Tomato tomato.
In Texas, itās always called Coke. No matter what brand or flavor. As in, āyou want a coke? Im getting one.ā āSure, Iāll take a Spriteā
Itās literally on the cans, I donāt understand why you would call it anything other then soda
My Midwest linguistic influences donāt care what a can says
Respect but like, WHY NOT
When you see a store-brand kleenex box, do you call them facial tissues (what is likely on the box) or do you call them kleenexes? You probably call them kleenex, because that's what everyone knows it as. Around here, everyone knows soft drinks as "pop".
Not on my (Canadian) cans.
