Pop is the generic name for fizzy soft drinks here. But it's also slang for alcohol too. The only time you'll hear "soda" is when people are referring to "American cream soda". That dark liquid could be "coke" but just as likely dandelion and burdock so without knowing I'd just call it pop to be safe.

We usually say pop & soda. I know in some places they call every soda no matter what it is coke.

Liquid Diabetes? As for the beverage in the glass I call it soda & whoever filled it up with ice can go pound sand because that is like drinking a diet soda.

ArrowheadSW · Accepted Answer

A soft drink. A lot of people call it pop, depending on where they are from.

strateguy632 · Answer

None of the above!

The common part of the names Pepsi cola and coca cola is... cola that is the category and name as always called by the industry.

Soda can refer to any fizz, even fizz water. Soft drink can include orange soda... that is soda not cola.

WhiteSteve · Answer

Soda. Growing up, we’d sometimes call it tonic, too. But that fell off somewhere along the way and it just became soda.

I remember I had a girlfriend in 6th grade who had moved from the Buffalo area, and she called it “pop”, and we would always tease her about it, haha.

A glass of soda... coke, root beer, or dr. Pepper

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

If I didn't know specifically what's in the glass, "soda" is what I'd say.  There are occasions when "cola" was an alternative if the contents in the glass were colored like Coke, Pepsi, etc.

ShellyB · Answer

I feel like it is a trick question lol. It looks like probably Coke to me but my generic word for this type of thing is soda, so, I voted for soda.
