Sody Pop.
Like that Spumco character. ^_^
Pop is just.... wrong.
Here in Delaware, if you say "soda" nobody will confuse it with the clear flavorless stuff. The only place I've ever heard "pop" used is Indiana. They were confused when I asked for "soda" out there.
Soder!!
I definitely agree with soda..no one will know what the fuck you are talking about if you ask for pop here in NYC...I have gone to both Florida and South Dakota, and there they refer to it as pop..and, for some reason,it bothers me LOL I'm like "Its called soda dammit!!" odd.....odd indeed...
Everyone I know says pop... I just call it crap....
And she is! :DQuote:

She's sexier than you are, and she's within striking distance, so she must be right.
I've lived in the south (Dallas) all my life and I don't think I've EVER heard anyone call it pop. I've heard soda pop a few times, but more often than not, its just soda.
I've heard some northerners refer to it as pop, mebbe they emigrated from Canada, eh? ;)
I go by brand name normally, but it's totally incorrect to be calling things soda when they aren't clear and bubbly, so it's got to be pop. When my chums are over I don't ask them if they'd like a soda, I ask them if they want a pop.
Ok that was my lame attempt at being quietly indignant at hearing all you ignorant southerner's calling pop soda. (Yeah that's right, you're all rebels to us up here. Think about that.)

Err, I usually just call it by whatever it is... Rarely am I in a position where I have to call it by a vague grouping of like beverages. If so, I'd go with soft drink.
I'm pretty sure pop is a mostly Northern expression, I only hear it called that when I'm visiting relatives in PA.
I should just start calling 'em "fizzy drinks", and see what kinda looks I get. ;)
And as for the "Coke" as all-inclusive, I've never heard it used that way, and I live in the birthplace of Coke, fer chrissakes.
