SODA vs. POP: The Endless War!

[Gamma Ray]

I call it sodypop.

 

[JP]

I call it sodypop.

I say that when I'm feeling frisky.

 

[CrashNburn]

So many have the notion that southerners do that, but I can honestly say having lived my 28 years in Georgia, I have never heard such a thing.

Maybe some say it, but I have never had someone say "Want a Coke?", I say Yes and they bring me a Dr. Pepper

I don't get it either.

Maybe it was meant to be a game

You ask for a "coke" and then you get a surprise drink every time. You'll never know what someone will bring you.

"Hey can you please get me a coke?"......"Dr Pepper! Sweet! You read my mind!" lol

 

[CrashNburn]

Im from Georgia and have only heard carbonated beverages referred to as "Coke" except from those who were from other areas.
But, no, I have NEVER heard someone say "orange coke" or root beer coke" or anything similar.

Its more like "Hey, you want a Coke or something?"
Response: "Sure, what do you have?"
Answer: "Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite."

But why would it be referred to as a "coke" and one of the flavors is Coke

It just seems odd is all.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

But no, I call it "pop". When people say "What the Sprite, why are you calling it 'pop' when it's Soda". I say "NO YOU ".

 

[CrashNburn]

Congrats! You managed to confuse the entire interwebz! Nice work Aesop...you've accomplished your goal. I'm proud of you.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Well that's what happens?

Almost everyone I know says "Hey while you're at the store, can you grab me a soda".

I'm like "What the frick, who says soda?". I was born on saying "pop".

 

[Lord Valumart]

I use the name of whatever drink I'm talking about. What the hell is it with you american and yer sodiepop? I've never heard it said by real people ever...

 

[Immortalfire]

But no, I call it "pop". When people say "What the Sprite, why are you calling it 'pop' when it's Soda". I say "NO YOU ".

So where are your friends and yourself originally from if all of them are referring to it as "soda" and you use "pop"?

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Ones from Texas, moved here when he was like 15. The other is from Cali, moved here when he was 10. We're all broing it up in Missouri.

 

[enterthemadness]

Branching off from a discussion in the Things You Hate Thread, which do you prefer: The far superior and correct "Soda" or the silly little "pop"? Or are you one of those stinking hippies that calls all soda "Coke"? I hate you the most, btw.

Sound off Hypesters! Join a side in this, the most important of debates!

As for me, if you haven't figured it out already, I have this to say:

Screw "pop", this weasel goes "soda".

Coke. If not, I call it by it's name like Mt Dew or Pepsi, etc.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I call it ''Soda."

I've heard from my time growing up in the south, most people call it ''Coke." Never once heard it called a ''pop."

 

[Aesop Rocks]

 

[enterthemadness]

I'm orry, fter rading all of page 1, I just remembered...I always say Coke at places, even when the waitress or waiter says 'We have Pepsi.'

Yeah, hate on me. And I live 30 minutes away from New Bern, NC...where PEPSI was made at in 1898 and New Bern Still sucks.

 

[katie_girl09]

It's pop, darnit.

Actually, the correct term is "soft drink".

 

[Immortalfire]

Like others have said, I too call them by their proper name.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

A pop is something you put in the freezer and eat or by on a stick in the candy isle.
