***** "Pop" - fracktica, on 08/07/2008, -4/+105I call it "Captain Morgan"
- Crazysticks, on 08/07/2008, -4/+792002. But dugg for anyone who hasn't seen it.

People who say "Pop" are much, much cooler"
Oh, really? - vinibinini, on 08/07/2008, -0/+39I call it both
when I'm feeling classy Soft Drink - adamclif, on 08/07/2008, -1/+36Mirror? Or a link to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".
- UncleCrapper, on 08/07/2008, -1/+35According to the map, more than half the country geographically says "pop."
- Rekbert, on 08/07/2008, -2/+34*****.

- barfnugget, on 08/07/2008, -0/+31ha, Look under California "other" category.
Something suspicious going on there....

Soda "*****" - ccm1120, on 08/07/2008, -37/+66Who the ***** says "pop"?
- DeviateSeptum, on 08/07/2008, -2/+30You know who could settle this once and for all??? Soda Popinski. No doubt.
- ostracize, on 08/07/2008, -0/+26Dugg for including Canada. Finally there isn't some invisible nothingness north of the border.
- crash331, on 08/07/2008, -0/+26People don't understand this, do they? Coke is really only interchangable with Pepsi. If you want a ***** Dr. Pepper you ask for it, if you want a Sprite, you ask for it. If someone called a sprite a coke, I'd laugh in their face and I live 30 miles from Atlanta, which is Coke country.
If I go to someone's house and ask if they have any Coke, they don't say yes and hand me a Dr. Pepper. They say "No, but we have Dr. Pepper, Sprite and Mountain Dew." - scott12087, on 08/07/2008, -1/+25What if you actually want a coke?
"What would you like?"
"Coke"
"What flavor?"
"Coke" - GoatMonkey2112, on 08/07/2008, -2/+25It is always Coke in Atlanta. If you ask for a Coke, they will say "what kind?".
On menus its listed as "Soft drinks" though. - GoatMonkey2112, on 08/07/2008, -3/+25No, we just gather a possy and have a lynchin. cuz, you ain't from around here are you son.
- lumaga, on 08/07/2008, -14/+35And all batteries are Energizer. And all beers are Bud. And all cars are Ford.
Your world must be boring. - inactive, on 08/07/2008, -1/+22Carbonated softdrink.
- sUGArDawg, on 08/07/2008, -31/+51It's all Coke
- inactive, on 08/07/2008, -6/+25zero nutritional value
- Rolamoto, on 08/07/2008, -3/+21I call it soda, but my state is a "pop" state.
- pinchduck, on 08/07/2008, -1/+18It's a geography joke.
- kelchm, on 08/07/2008, -0/+16good man.
- lordtyros, on 08/07/2008, -1/+16So you call chips "crunch"? Only babies name things after the sound they make.
- ploke, on 08/07/2008, -1/+16Canadians say pop
- LucerinRed, on 08/07/2008, -2/+17I always said "Soda Pop". At least we're not in Kentucky where EVERYTHING is called a "Coke".
"Can I get you a Coke"
"Sure"
"What Kind? Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Sprite? " - mockupscaledown, on 08/07/2008, -0/+15Yup, in the South, all soft drinks are Cokes. And usually asking for a "tea" means you get a glass of iced sweet tea with lemon.
- shotgunefx, on 08/07/2008, -4/+19In New England, "tonic" is not uncommon.
- SonicNirvana, on 08/07/2008, -1/+15You wouldn't know how many people over here order a "www.4chan.org" as a drink.
- WombleSlayer, on 08/07/2008, -6/+20They're called 'fizzy drinks'!
Damned Yankees... - Yareking, on 08/07/2008, -1/+15dugg for being Old
- longbomberz, on 08/07/2008, -4/+18I call it "pop" but soda is acceptable too. I cannot stand people who say "Coke".
- sysop073, on 08/07/2008, -1/+14Clearly you should move
- eggsovereasy, on 08/07/2008, -0/+12I need a liter of cola
- theragu40, on 08/08/2008, -5/+17That's ridiculous. Soda is fine. Pop is fine. Coke is a brand of soft drink, one that is easily distinguishable from other brands of soft drink. It's alright to call all tissues Kleenex because if you sit a non-Kleenex brand tissue next to Kleenex brand tissue, you couldn't tell the difference. But give me a sip of Coke and then a sip of Pepsi, and I can immediately tell the difference.
A: I drive a Ferrari.
B: I also drive a Ferrari.
A: No you don't, that's a Geo Metro.
B: It's ok, I'm from the south, so I call it a Ferrari anyway.
A: ....... - Lucifugerising, on 08/07/2008, -1/+13I call it by the brands name...
- nick2, on 08/07/2008, -5/+15Everybody knows it's soda, duh!
- ZenMojo, on 08/07/2008, -0/+10So that explains why your rum and cokes are so strong....
- JlmAWP, on 08/07/2008, -122/+132Pop.
***** "Soda" - AYork, on 08/07/2008, -2/+12Yeah, it's like calling a photocopy a Xerox, a refillable flint lighter a Zippo, a tissue a Kleenex, a cotton swab a Q-tip, or using a search engine "Googling". Hell, I've had people call my iRiver flash mp3 player an I-Pod.
"Everybody not like me is a dumbass" only applies while driving. - cowman80i9, on 08/07/2008, -0/+10yeah its not a POKEMON, you dont call it by the noise it makes
- greensky, on 08/07/2008, -0/+10I've always called it soda if it's from a fountain and pop if it's in a can.
- wonderbriefs, on 08/07/2008, -0/+9I take it Pepsi is a type of coke to you?
- bassoondux, on 08/07/2008, -0/+9That simply does not make sense. That's like saying "What kind of tee-shirt do you want? Button-down, wife-beater, tee-shirt, Polo?"
Why not just call it a shirt unless the kind you want is actually a tee-shirt?
If someone ever asked me for a Coke, all he's going to get is a Coke. - shaka999, on 08/07/2008, -17/+26Saying pop makes you sound like a hick.
- Kral, on 08/07/2008, -4/+13More than half the country geographically re-elected Bush, so in matters as important as what to call carbonated soft drinks, they're tainted.
