SODA vs. POP: The Endless War!

[Incrediblejeff]

Does anyone here call it soda water?I think I heard that in a movie or Tv Show.

 

[Havok83]

Its SODA. I get pop but dont understand why people call it coke. Coke is a BRAND, not the name of the substance

And we come full circle....lol

"Soda". Pop is a verb, Coke is a brand.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I have never heard anyone call any other brand of soda other than Coke "Coke".

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Anyone who calls it "pop" should be popped in the mouth.

I may treat Canada as a bratty little brother, but they know to call pop pop.

I am curious about those respondents who actually said "other." What else can it be called?

 

[Manic]

The fact that Canadians also call it pop lets you know that it's so very wrong.

 

[Drizzle]

Soda for life. If someone asks me for pop, they get nothing.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

Pepsi or Coke

I agree with you there.
