  1. In the UK you either say pop so like, "ooh get us a bottle of pop" or Coke. A restaurant in the town I live sells Pepsi, so when you ask for a Coke, they say is Pepsi okay? And of course, it isn't. Also! The words fizzy-drink or soft-drink is used a lot to just say anything which is carbonated.



    jk, I love whatever really. Pepsi or Coke.

  5. Being from Ohio originally I say pop, they started selling flavored (mostly fruit flavored), artificially sweetened, carbonated water, I told my offspring it was "Kids Pop" so they would rot their teeth out with the "real" one.

  9. The difference:

    Hey, can I have some soda please?
    Papa, can I drink this soda?
    How much calories does this soda have?

    The nemesis:

    Hey, can I have some pop please?
    Papa, can I drink this pop?
    How much calories does this pop have?

    xD I think soda won. Pop is an outdated word, like ill. No one says, "I'm so ill right now!" ;)

  10. Can't say I have ever said Papa, can I drink this pop? Its usually can I have a pop, at least in my family. The first and third one make sense with either. People still say ill.... also pop is widely used in northern/midwest regions of America, wouldn't say outdated. Now you are gonna tell me chips are called crisps not chips. Tisk.
    In the end no one can really dislike any way of saying it, both are correct, wouldn't say anything is outdated. Also its suckers not lollipops.

  14. "Pop," isn't outdated, nor is "soda"; "soda pop," on the other hand, has come to sound quite old-fashioned. Usage of soda or pop depends more on location than time.

    And style, of course. The really classy ones use "pop." :cool:

  19. Do you mean to say that you wreak a good Whiskey by putting stuff in it? :eek:
    As one of the older ones (age wise) on the server and being Canadian, I call it pop. ;)

  20. In the soda vs pop debate, I'm a "soda" man. However, I actually just call them by their actual names, Coke, Dr Pepper, Sprite, etc.

    Side note: I haven't drank any carbonated beverage in over 2 years. I only drink water, tea, and the occasional glass of orange juice.
