Agreed.👍

When I lived in Oklahoma I called it pop because everybody acted like they didn't know what the hell a soda was. Now that I'm back in South Carolina it's soda, and I'll never call it pop again no matter where I live.

Anyone who calls it soda pop needs punched in the face.

Pop is the stupidest word ever for a drink. Here in Pittsburgh everybody calls it pop, I can't stand it. It's soda.

 

[Jpec07]

I call it by its name. if the bottle says "Sprite", I'll say "hey, give me a sprite". the only exception to this is Coca-Cola, which I call coke...

 

[Acidman]

Your all crazy, it's pop!

 

[MuddinPede]

Down here is Tennessee, everything is called ''coke'', with the exeption of beer.

Soda.

"Soda pop" is redundant, and "pop" is just too old-fashioned...it's a colloquial thang, my peeps.

Understandable, but if you ask somebody if they want something, and you have a variety, what do you end up calling the subject?

"Do you want something to drink?"

Duh?

Yes, duh. I suppose you aren't smart enough to make that a period.



I know that Doug realizes this, but to anyone else, this is a joke, and should not be taken literally...

 

[Cobraboy]

I call it drink.

Pop and Soda just sound dumb.

That's pretty well the rule here, although they're generically referred to as soft drink (as opposed to 'hard' drinks, which are alcholic, such as beer, wine, spirits)

 

[Viper_Maniac]

Pop.

That sounds like a gay-bar nickname...

 

[KosmikFool]

Oh, and I call it soda but it actually is meant to be called Soda Pop. Just so you know.
