Soda or Pop ???
 

I get into arguments about this with my roommates, which do you call it?

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

I call it pop, I think people from the south call it soda. When the hell did these names come from anyways?

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

Down here no one says pop. Pop just sounds weird to me. Actually down here most people call every soda Coke even if it isn't. Pepsi, Sprite, Dr. Pepper... they all call it Coke.

Its all coke. I was about to say that...

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

I call it by the brand name usually. People say both around here equally as much. The brothas say pop more I think.

well wtf, that isn't one of the choices. I had no idea people just call it Coke. but mmmmMMMmmmm Dr. Pepper is so good, once drank a 2 liter of it after baseball practice in a disgusting small amount of time.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

If I want a Coke, I say "Coke."

If I want a Pepsi, I say "Pepsi."

If I want a Dr Pepper, I say "Dr Pepper."

etc, etc, etc.

Up here in the northland we call it pop. That's pretty odd that you guys just call it coke.

But what if you want to say, "I wonder what type of _____ they have." Would you say Soda or Pop? Obviously, saying "I wonder what type of Mr. Pibb they have" doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I say soda, btw.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

All of the above.

My life is too fast paced for a waitress to rattle off the soda types.

"Can I get a Dr Pepper?"

"We don't have Dr. Pepper."

"Mr Pibb?"

"Nope."

"Sprite?"

"Nope."

"Mountain Dew?"

"Nope."

"Big Red?"

"Nope."

*Pause*

"Water."

My girlfriend says pop. Everytime she does, I feel like punching her in the mouth. But if I did that, I wouldn't really be able to make out with her because her mouth would be all bloody.

So...I guess what I'm trying to say is, soda.

I'll bet you grew up east of Centre County, and are excited about January 3.

BTW, did you hear anything about Dan Connor being suspended/inactive for the game?

If you are interested in this type of stuff, look here. Check it out, its really neat. Scroll down do the 60s+ and it gets more interesting.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

Since your name is "IlliniLou" and your loc is "University of Illinois" you really should be calling it pop.

Yeah, I hate when people say "What kind of Coke do you want" or "What flavor of Coke do you want?"

Say soda you tool! Even pop is acceptable.

I'm convinced that these people are mildly retarded.

I think calling "sweetened carbonated beverages" all coke is a hispanic thing.

I refuse to label Pepsi a soda, its sugary water. Furthermore, I do not drink Pepsi, its Coke or Coca-Cola.

who the hell calls it "dope" ??

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

Here in Wisconsin, we have several facebook groups existing for the sole purpose of proclaiming that it is indeed soda, not pop. Same for bubbler.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

Everyone in the south says Coke. Everything is a Coke no matter what brand of variety.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

All pop in Canada. Only hear people say soda on TV.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

I've never seen this poll posted on OOT before, or any other message board for that matter!

The map already posted answers everything about this question.

Just because Milwaukee calls it soda does not make it so. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Oh, and it's not a bubbler. Nor is it a water fountain. It is a drinking fountain, please spread the goddamn word.

What is the difference between Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb? Aren't they essentially the same?

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

I thought that saying "pop" was an affectation afflicted upon those who grew up shoveling out from under lake-effect snow.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

Whelp, not entirely but yes, they are both a Coca Cola brand but Mr Pibb has a more "cherry" flavor so they say...

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

I've never seen Mr. Pibb sold above, say, Georgia. They certainly do not sell it in the NY/NJ area. The few times I've had it I've enjoyed it, though.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

The guy that invented carbonated beverages is buried about half a mile from here. I think he called it soda.

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

YOu can find it upstate sometimes, above Albany, platssburg area's etc. Rare though . I've also seen it in Buffalo/Niagara Falls on occasion

As a long time connoisseur of Dr Pepper, I indignantly submit they are not even close to the same thing. Pibb has a different finish.

Is coke and pepsi the same thing?

Re: Soda or Pop ???
 

Certainly not. Again, I haven't had the Pibb in years (since they do not sell it in NYC), so I by no means can speak authoritatively on it.
