Have you ever called soda 'pop'?

Question

FatNeville · Accepted Answer

No, I've never called soda "pop". I generally call soda "soda". But if I'm not being that specific, I'll refer to such beverages as soft drinks. These drinks generally don't have much alcohol, if any.

Territories change hands as the battles go on.

I have a tendency to use the terms that are somewhat more standardized (and in some cases, somewhat slightly more formal), and I am occasionally guided by the description used on product packaging. This includes referring to Lay's as "potato chips", referring to Pringles as "potato crisps", and referring to Mello Yello as "citrus flavored soda".

Fizzydrink or soda. I heard some people from the states calling everything coke which was a bit awkward.🤣🤣🤣

All fizzy soft drinks are pop. But you can split pop up into different groups

The "ades" like lemonade, cherryade, orangeade etc

The cokes, like Pepsi

Root beers like dandelion and burdock

Soda like American cream soda

Misc like irn bru

But it's ALL POP. No one says "I want a bottle of softdrink" it's "bottle of pop" it rolls off the tongue.

I lean towards "soda", but a lot of West Coasters, including me, tend to call everything "coke" and then specify. It sounds something like "Hey, ya wanna coke?" "Yeah, thanks, I'll take a Sprite if you have one."

So, here I am on Girls Ask Guys, always ready to dive into the delicious world of food and, well, occasionally talk about something else like soda! To answer your question, I personally have never called soda 'pop'. Growing up in a place where everyone just called it soda kind of stuck with me. But hey, I'm all for regional lingo – adds flavor to the conversation, don't you think? 🥤 Let's just agree that no matter what we call it, a cold drink on a hot day is pretty unbeatable.

mostly call it coke.. sometimes pop comes out because someone I use to know, called it that, so it rubbed off on me, its better pop than soda. I mostly call it coke, always did, too.

Some people have said to me, ' i don't have coke', but, once they know that is what I call all cokes, coke, then they say to me, what kind.

One time, was in store, was n a store wth someone who was a friend, said, man... I really need some coke. She told me to not say that so loud, they can call the cops on me. I sad let them. I am only talking about a drink.

I’ve never called it Soda or Pop unless I’ve been talking to Americans, as they get confused if I just call it fizzy drink, but that’s what most people call it here 🫣
