What do you call soft drinks?

[Psyfira]

I call them "fizzy" drinks. But of course, you ask for them by name. And I very rarely have any carbonated drinks except the occasional coke or Dr. Pepper.

oh you

Dice what the hell?!

That's what everyone in the UK calls them, Right?... (right?)

 

[Sstew]

Around here it is Soda, unless you address it by the real name "Mountain Dew,Pepsi ect."

 

[Tanas]

Lemmo

 

[Holaitsme]

I say soda.

 

[Densetsu]

I'm in California and according to the nifty graphic, we say "soda."

Yep, I say "soda."

 

[Sc0rpion]

It's almost always "a glass of pop" (Any Squash) "a glass of fizzy pop" (Any Carbonated) if I'm at home, If I'm down the Pub or Club it's ordered by the brand name and what alcoholic drink it best mixes with.

At home I don't give a sh#t what flavour/brand it is when I'm thirsty so "pop/fizzy pop" works well

Now can we have a real man's poll like "What's your favourite word for BREASTS

 

[da_head]

i call it pop. coke is a specific brand, and soda is a specific kind of drink

 

[NeSchn]

Everyone that I know says Soda. Thats what I use too.

Here in the UK we dont use the word soda. When i was growing up we used to call it Fizzy Pop.

I was poking fun at him for the fact that he usually avoids fizzy drinks.

Soda or gaseosa which is the same thing except Spanish.

 

[JPH]

"I'ma get me somethin' to drank"

I usually just call them drinks, 'soda' sounds weird.

 

[ZyberMaster]

When I was a kid it was coke, to my knowledge that was my first soft drink. Later on I moved and made some black friends and they introduce me to orange soda and I adopted soda into my lexicon. Eventually I grew up and started drinking juice and rarely ordering soft drinking but when I do it by brand name. I pass the soft drink and juice phase and had enter the beer bong and Jello shots

Coke is a brand, and pop is what old people call it. Like most people, I call soft drinks "soda".

 

[ball2012003]

soda is what i say

 

[Gwendall]

Soda, but Coke was the dominant brand in the household. So it would get referred to as Coke occasionally.

 

[Ducky]

I just call it "something to drink"... For example.. "Hey ben , bring something to drink"

 

[dice]

Speaking personally, saying that you want a "drink" could be applied to any type of drink, be it water, beer or orange juice. This is why I don't normallt use the term unless I don't care what I'm getting or there's only one type of drink available.

 

[WildWon]

Central PA and east (where i am) is called Soda. Pittsburgh and west (i don't know how far) has the "Pop" moniker. And Georgia (where Wife® is from) apparently like to call ALL soft-drinks Coke. No matter if its Pepsi, Sprite, Mt. Dew, etc etc.

With all that info, Soda is the proper term, and everyone else is wrong

 

[Trulen]

I r from down south.

And I've grown up with "Coke".

It's really used when there's nothing specific to be chosen.

Like so:

"You want a coke?"
"Oh, thanks."
"What kind you want?"
"-insert name brand-"


Kinda like naming your dog.
S/he's a dog, but s/he has a name that you say when referring to your dog. But if you're talking about dogs in general (nonspecific), then you just say, "dog".

 

[UltraMagnus]

I just call it Pepsi....
