Soda or Pop ???

[OtisTheMarsupial]

Soda.
West coast.

However, I'll often order "diet" because there is usually only one diet soda on the menu and I don't care if it's coke or pepsi or RC...

first of all i found it humerous when people for the north were speaking for people in the south, "i think the people in the south call it soda?" haha. second i think this poll is borderlind polltard if you don't include "coke" b/c an entire region of our country calls it that.

at home in texas its "coke," when i lived and went to the school in the midwest it was "pop," when i lived in the northeast it was "soda" and when my grandmother speaks its "soda-pop." then if you get into the really thick country i have heard it called "soda-water." yet you include two options...polltard.

Reason I didn't put coke was because I had no idea idiots just called it Coke. It is not Coke, Coca Cola is Coke damnit. When you say Coke, i refer to the days of when Coca Cola used to make Coke II. anyone remember that? or Clear Pepsi? Also Mr.Pibb will never out taste Dr.Pepper, clear distinction, Dr.Pepper is awesome and Mr.Pibb sucks

be careful with the name calling fella, i am not the one that has apparently never been outside of my one domain.

there is no reason to get hasty with me b/c i pointed out the ignorance of your poll, i am sorry that you are oblivious the other regions and their ways/cultures...you may think they are "idiotic" thats fine, notice that in my post i did not call any of the names for the product wrong. since you have reverted to name calling in your post further proves that you are not open enough to make a promising poll with the correct options...like the guy that put two weezer albums on a poll for "best weezer album."

i am actually laughing at how you are calling people idiots that call the product "coke" yet you did not know maybe 2/5th's of our entire nation calls it this. good stuff.

Calling pop "coke" is akin to picking Make Believe as the best Weezer album, by the way. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Well, not entirely true. having grown up in NJ, I call it soda, but I live in New England, where the generic name is "tonic."

There are also parts of the country where the generic name is "coke" as in "What kind of coke do you want?" "I'll have a ginger ale."

I just find this whole thing to be silly. Was I the only one taught that people say different things to mean the same thing? I had a college roommate make fun of someone else for calling a certain cooking utensil a "pan." WTF?

For what it's worth, I generally just call it a "soft drink", sometimes "soda", almost never "pop" (but I certainly know what it's referring to).

I never say "Coke" unless I'm specifically referring to Coca-Cola and I think it's funny that people do. It's like saying:

"I'm going to McDonalds."

"Which one?"

"Burger King."

Oh well, more power to the Coke marketing machine.

Then who would we make fun of? I think we should take all the tolerant people out back and shoot them.
