Coke? Soda? Pop? What is it?

[Guy Fawkes]

Its time for another Soda Vs. Pop Vs. Coke poll.
->For the record, its Coke.

[qnr]

1. Soda, and considering I've

lived in or been in all 50 states and on all seven continents and still think it's "soda" - it must be the one true name!

[JohnKleeb]

2. soda

For christ sakes, it is soda, pop is your father, coke is a type of soda.

[terrya]

3. It is the all encompassing "pop"

Coke, 7-Up, Dr. Pepper...it's all pop! :-)

[UpsideDownFlag]

7. 'pop's is a horrible blasphemy. it's 'soda'. nt

[St. Jarvitude]

17. You're wasting your time with that extra syllable

In the extra time you would have if you said "pop" instead of "soda", you could easily write several dozen short stories.

It's all about ze German efficiency! Notice how "pop" suddenly becomes popular west of central Pennsylvania - bastion of the German immigrants. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

[JohnKleeb]

20. frankly fuck Germany

:D.

[Kellanved]

24. hey, we say neither

It's "Limo" (short for "Limonade", Lemonade), unless it is is brown; in that case it's "Cola".

Yeah, there are a few dozens other terms (Brause,...), but the above is pretty much the usual terminology.

:D

[JohnKleeb]

26. ok fuck German Americans sans my relatives

:D

[stellanoir]

4. a sugar riddled concoction that will

invariably rot your teeth & gut and turn you into a diabetic.

But it's great for you. Drink up. No I'm not a purist, just don't like soda.

[samplegirl]

5. i never call it soda

Dont here many people here in Ohio call it soda either.....they
usually just say pepsi or coke.

[NYC Liberal]

6. I just say Coke, myself.

[Inland]

8. Coke's a tradename for Coca-Cola. And its either soda or pop

most often soda in the south and pop in the north.

[flowomo]

18. yeah, well, around Everett....

[AlCzervik]

[flowomo]

25. ah.... Meffa.... I never lived there.... closest I got was Melrose....

but I knew the old Wellington Circle Drive In before they tore it down.

[AlCzervik]

27. I went back for a visit in March, i was shocked by all the changes

we left in 97, what a difference 8 years makes. I could only tell i was in wellington by seeing the Kappy's mothership.

[flowomo]

here in PA (where we live now), you can only buy booze in state-run boutiques.

[AlCzervik]
