Soda, Pop, or Coke? Generic Names for Soft Drinks

[loaches r cool]

Were I grew up... soda
Were I am now... pop
My grandma who always has strange sayings calls it soda-pop like it was one word, which has become a bad habit I've picked up lol. So my option wasnt available.

I say soda but I also have those grandparents that call it soda-pop.

We call it "soft drinks" here. No idea why tho.

I think we call it that because it's non-alcoholic, hence 'soft'. I actually call it fizzy drink or soft drink... or carbonated non-alcoholic beverage!

pop...soda is ados, backwards

 

[Slappy*McFish]

I normally call it by name. A coke is a coke, a pepsi is a pepsi, a mountain dew is a mountain dew...you get the idea. I guess I would generalize them all as sodas, however. (ie, "I'm gonna go grab a soda"). Though in that reference, I would probably just say "I'm gonna go grab a drink." :drool:

Why is 'Cola' included in the list... Ive heard that one tossed around alot.


I usually only call it mix, as in where is the mix for my rum. Don't drink to much of it besides when it is used as a mix.
