Poll: Do you call it SODA, POP, or COKE? (am I missing any?)

[Aceman]

In Minnesota it's POP.

In East River South Dakota it's POP

In West River South Dakota it's SODA

In Nebraska it was POP

When I was living in SouthWestern Pennsylvania my now wife from the area never heard of POP. It was soda.

 

[LAUST]

customer: May I have a Coke please?
service: Yes, what kind would you like...
customer: Coke


LOL

 

[tinneric]

I live in Portland, OR and call it Soda

 

[Sephiroth_IX]

<< Arizona, California, Washington, and pretty much any thing on that side of the world calls it SODA. >>

Uhm, Ive lived in each of those states. Arizona and California call it soda, Northern California through Washington State and into Canada it is Pop. Period.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

born and raised in Oregon calling it Soda.

lol - I'm still laughing at &quot;Pop&quot;

Another southerner (Texas)--COKE is the correct term. Soda is mildly weird but would be acceptable. Pop is just plain gay.

 

[konichiwa]

Coke! In the A-T-L!

I call everything besides Sprite &quot;coke.&quot; I point and laugh at people who say pahp or sodah Hahahaha!

 

[BoberFett]

What kind of sense does it make to call it Coke like it's a generic term?

You want to call it Kleenex? OK, but there isn't much difference from one facial tissue to another.

QTips? Fine, cotton swabs are all alike.

But Coke? Ask me for a Coke, and you get a Coca-Cola. It just sounds stupid when somebody asks for a Coke down south, and the stupid waitress asks &quot;What kind?&quot;

 

[nateholtrop]

they call it pop in MI but I call it soda.


Nate

P.S. I like to be different word-wise.

 

[SSP]

Here in Toronto, we either call it Pop or Coke.

 

[Sephy]

In MD..
We call Pepsi or Coke, Coke, and anything else generic soda. But we do say Dr Pepper and 7-Up etc
