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.

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.

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."
