1. This could all be avoided if people would just call it what it is. |
|
Is it Pepsi? RC? Coke? Call it Pepsi. RC. Coke.
Sheesh!

8. Coke spends $1 Billion on advertising every year, so does Pepsi |
|
When I am ordering a "soft drink" I say "Coke" and the kid at the register sometimes says to me "Is Pepsi okay?" and I say "Yeah whatever"

But I'll even tolerate soda.
Coke, however, is dumb. It's a company name. I don't call all cars "toyotas" or all computers "IBM's"

17. Don't drink any of them |
|
But if you're looking for names, I would definitely use pop or just call it a soft-drink.
Coke is coke and means the brand-name cola produced by the Coca-Cola company.
Soda means soda water (sometimes called club soda).

20. People who say Coke are hicks.... |
|
People who say 'Pop' sound like 5 year olds, and people who say 'Soda' are pretentious.
:popcorn: I think I need a big tub.

If soda is capable of taking corrosion off your car battery, just imagine what it does to your stomach.

31. In the South, every soft drink can be referred to as a Coke or a cola |
|
as in I'm gonna have an RC Cola and a Moopnpie for lunch. Those of us who are native Southerners never say pop or soda. The term soft drink is used.

Tonic=any carbonated beverage.
"Pop" is a verb and "soda" comes in a yellow "Arm & Hammer" box.
Geez, people.
