I'm from Vancouver, Canada - I call it pop.
When I lived down in Portland they used to make fun of me for calling it that....They called it soda there.

To get totally off topic - YASMINE - i LOVE your cat and the color!! What kind of cat is it, or is it a mix?

I think (from research) that she may have Korat and siamese in her somewhere...she is a mixed kitty....she has MANY characteristics of a Korat-- so to be completly honest- I DONT KNOW LOL... when i picked her out, she was the only one with "attitude" and i liked it!!!
thx for all the sweet compliments on my "tubby"...yes...she does waddle when she walks!!!

I live in Wisconsin and I call soda... SODA! But some people here call it soda or soda pop. Just depends what town you live in.. in the bigger towns tehy call it soda, and in the small ones you see soda pop or pop.

I dont understand how people can call it coke though.

Though I bet the Pepsi companies are jealous.

If someone in the south asked me what kind of coke I wanted ( like at a mcdonalds) I would probably say "regular" and they would give mea funny look and say someting like "Sorry we dont serve that type of soda here" and then everyone would get confused and I would end up with a pepsi in the end and be even more confused.

I am originally from a small town about 80 miles north of Green Bay, all though I have lived in various parts of the entire state. I never heard any Wisconsin native refer to it as soda pop.

I have a friend from Arkansas who went to college here in WI and he apologized for spilling my "coke" on me as well as telling some of our other friends. I said "It wasn't a Coke, it was a Mountain Dew"...he said "Yeah, well it is all Coke to me!" LOL

Pretty much everyone here calls it Coke. When you say you want a coke, they do ask you what kind you want. We talked about it in my business class, it's called a master brand. When something is so dominant that it gets associated with the actual product. Think about Kleenex, it's a tissue but everyone just asks for a kleenex. Same with Xerox. It's a brand name but everyone says they have to xerox something instead of saying make a copy.

Maybe I'm too much a Big City girl, to me Coke can also mean the drug.
Or Coke-Cola.

We call it Soda here.

Coke.....Soda.......Pop???
Well to ME Soda means Soda - club soda! Pop is a popping noise and coke is coke. I have always just called them soft drinks!

And here I am living in a place with such a small yard if I stand at the patio door and start to run I will run smack dab into the back fence!

In Australia it's fizzy drink or soft drink. Here in Montreal they seem to say pop and soda, or even soda pop

I mostly say pop, but I do say soda a lot as well. It's pretty well mixed in central and northern Indiana.

I'd call it either a fizzy drink or a fizzy pop! Although, thinking about it, I would probably just call it by it's name!

Gosh, I'm so out of the fizzy drinks market that i can't remember what i call them!!
