The Great Debate: Pop vs. Soda

what do u call those sweet fizzy drinks?

it's always been "pop" for me. pop can, pop bottle, drinking pop.

pop. pop. pop.

it just sounds more fun. :)

stop calling it soda. it's pop u guys. calling it soda makes u sound crazy. and generically referring all pop as "coke" makes u sound foolish.

anyway here's a cool map that shows what peeps call those fizzy drinks. What do u call it?

oh that's silly!
'Pop' is what you do to zits or bubble wrap
Soda is the delicious sugary carbonated beverage that you drink
:P


While back had a coworker visiting from the east coast asking me to take him by the MAC machine. I was so confused until I realized he wanted an ATM.

Wow, with half of the country using the very old fashioned term, Pop, I wonder if they follow suit and call the refrigerator an Ice Box as well.

generically referring all pop as "coke" makes u sound foolish.

I'm originally from Texas and growing up EVERYONE said coke.
"Hey can I get a coke?"
"Sure, what kind?"
"Sprite."
That was how it was and if you said pop everyone would die laughing at you. Haha to each their own though!

It is POP. I HATE the word Soda. when I was a kid everyone said pop. I am in Western Wa (seattle) now since everyone has moved here....people are saying Soda. Sucks big time. Its pop damn it! lol

And we are from the same place so YES i totally agree with you!!!

Just do the healthy thing and drink water, then it doesn't matter what you call it. :P But seriously, it's soda. :pepsi:

I must be foolish because around here we call it coke, ya'll. :D I'm in one of those little red counties in southern Indiana btw lol

If I have to differentiate, I'll say pop (like for that decade I lived in Ohio and got strange glances for saying I was getting a Coke and would come back with a Sprite). Never soda. What the heck is that, anyway??

My parents just call it a soft drink. No other terms. But I grew up in a soda area, moved to a Coke area and then moved again to another Coke area. I thought soda was just an abbreviation for soda pop.

​I'm from northwestern Pa, we say pop and
MAC. When I lived in Virginia Beach, we said
soda and ATM. :gj:
