Soda vs. Pop: The Results at last...

[awwchrist]

I say both.

[Bennett4prez]

I call it sodapop.

But that's just the kind of guy I am.

Although I would ridicule anyone who said "pizza pie".

Makes two of us...

Sometimes I will say just 'pop'. Never do I say soda.

Up here it's always been know as "Pop". Never heard it called anything else. But being on a penninsula is just about the same as being on an island, so we don't get much thru traffic, to hear it called anything else.

"Pop" is the term used by all the cool d00ds in the NW.

I must not be a cool d00d. I'll call it a coke before I ever call it a pop. Soda it is.

Here in Jersey, calling it 'pop' is like capping someone with a .22

You'll just get laughed at

I'm from New Jersey, and I was very surprised a few months ago when I found out that soda was not a common term throughout the country. "Pop" and "coke" are very strange indeed, I almost never hear these terms used. Pop just sounds dumb, and I don't see how you can use Coke to describe all types of soda.

It's actually all types of cola,not soda.You would still call a 7-UP
a 7-UP, and a Grape Nehi a Grape Nehi.Just brown pop like Pepsi,RC and Coca-Cola are called cokes.

By west coast, I do hope you mean the NW, and not Southern California. If someone said pop to me... like, say CC... I'd belt him with a hammer.

You'd be too busy recovering from a face to 2x4 meeting to swing any hammers.

''Pop'' is the term I use, used a lot in Madison, WI, where I am from. And we use bubbler a lot, unless the bubbler is warm, then it's a ''drinking fountain''.

[34=Sweetness]

Most people in SE Wisconsin, from what I've seen, say soda. I say soda, because saying pop sounds like you are 4 years old I have never heard a drinking fountain called a "bubbler".
