Frankly, I think all you "pop" people are lunatics....

anyone got any clue what "other" might be?
 
the other is "Foul tooth rotting crap!"
 
I'm always careful to call it 'soda' here, but in real life I call it 'pop', because... uh... that's what everyone does where I live.
 
The majority of the USA calls it Pop, so its pop. Deal with it.
 
I have never once heard it called soda in real life, so I don't know where the "Pop" hate comes from.:confused:

no, compare that map above with a popualtion chart
 
I just think pop sounds stupid. Pop is a noise not a drink
 
I've never been able to say pop in the context of - "do you want a can of pop" - while keeping a straight face - therefore i don't, i refer to it as the brand name or not at all....i.e. coke, 7-up, sprite etc...

I'd much rather Soda became an everyday word for it here.
 
Not once in real life have I hear it called soda. And pop is still not used a lot either, generally you just call it by brand name.

I think it's sort of a regional thing. Where I've come from, it's always Pop. So this thread is sorta pointless.

And I ****ing hate the idiots who call them fizzy drinks.
