Just a curious question,
Do you call it soda or pop? It's a constant battle with me calling it soda and my northern cousins calling pop.
I thought it might be interesting to see everyone else's preferences!
Have a great day!!

Soda

First time I hear someone calling it pop. I had always heard soda or coke.

Pop.

I always have called it soda because well that's what it's called in the south. Sometimes I will here 'pop' come from my mom. She was born in the north but the south has gotten to her! LOL
But my cousins in Buffalo call it pop... It kind of annoys me in a sense but I have no clue why.

Wow, do we have the same mom? I've always just called them soft drinks.

Coke! It's all coke. Now what kind of coke would you like? Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet Coke w/lime for me, please.


Nobody says pop around here, and soda is rarely heard as well. When I hear the word pop, I think of old movies.



Edit: After reading GC's post above, yeah... people do say soft drinks as well, but mostly just coke.

I hope when I move to Buffalo that they don't convert me!!!!! LOL

Soda 'round here.

Soda! I used to live in New York and it was soda there too.

Soda pop or soft drinks and as SG said, what kind of coke would you like?

Coke is the generic term for soft drinks here too.

Me too! I'm from the south (south LA) and never in 52 years have I used the words "soda' or "pop". Gimme a Coke!

When I grew up in New York we used to say soda. "Pop" meant Dad.

That's a great map!
