Do you call your carbonated beverage a Soda or a Pop?

Doc, everything down here is Coke.

Typical conversation between the waitress and customer.



Waitress: "Welcome to 'so and so's family diner' can I get you something to drink?"



Customer: "Sure, I'll have a Coke"



Waitress: "What kind?"



Customer: " Dr. Pepper would be fine"



Unless, they ask me, then of course it's a cold Miller Lite.

I'm with gitchesum on this one.

Down here, it's "coke". This can be a Coke, Dr. Pepper, or just about anything.

Gotta love the South

It doesn't matter what you have. As long as it is sweet and carbonated, it's a COKE.

For this former Connecticut Yankee it's always been SODA!

 

[KatDiesel]

I have always called it by what it was, I want a Dr. Pepper! Pop annoys me. It leads to unesscary talking. If I wanted a coke, I would say coke. If I wanted a Pepsi I would say Pepsi. But all I drink is Dr. Pepper and tea and an ocasionally Mr Pipp when the Dr is "out".

If its carbonated and it tastes good its BEER. lol

Huh. Not too far from there, in NE MA, the stuff is called 'tonic'. How they got that from moving or losing the r's, I'll never know!

fest3er - I was going to add tonic to the poll, but thought it wouldn't rate enough to consider. You proved me wrong.

Well here in Central Texas I have heard it called a "soda water" more than several times but for me its Coke cause thats what I drink

 

[B.G. Smith]

Soda pop

Well, in the Oklahoma hills where I was born it was "soda pop". bg

 

[Bill Lins]

Soda water. Soda is a white powder that comes in a box. Pop is the sound a soda water makes when you open it. Do I have to teach y'all EVERYTHING?

Sody Water

Even Grape NeHi bellywashers are called sody waters in some areas. All ya need with a bellywasher is some saltine crackers and mustard sardines to make it a perfect meal.



Then git some of that popskull whiskey for a chaser.

Coke, around here any soft drink or cola is called coke. Some of the older country folks call 'em "dopes".
