What do you call carbonated drinks?

[Comrade]

So after a recent journey to the north, I discovered that northerners call carbonated beverages "Pop." I found this to be absurd. Even when I went to get a drink at a snack bar on lake michigan, the sign said "Pop." I asked people about this phenomena, but their answers couldn't suffice. As we all know, carbonated beverages are to be referred to as soda. However, I am Atlantian, and a lot of Georgians refer to soda as "Coke," because they don't fucking know better.

So Newgrounds I ask you, what do you call carbonated beverages?

we call it pop because of the bubbles popping

Contrary to your wrds, I come from Florida and call them sodas. It's just the way I roll.

[billowillo]

I call them soda, so does everyone else here.

[MoriChax]

Pop in a can, soda from a foutian or bottle.

[Captain]

I flip flop between the two. Everyone in Pittsburgh says soda, but my whole family in Ohio says pop.

[Ranchero]

Where I am from (B.C.) it is most commonly refered to as pop. It's funny because first time I heard someone refer to it as soda I found it absurd. Calling it soda seems like something they did in the 50's.

[XxXGameFreakXxX]

I live in Northern California and call it soda.

[JacksRage]

I use coke and soda, never really use pop. But my parents do, they are from ohio.

[o0-0o]

Soft drinks.

[greenblade1]

all are accepted, but here in montreal most ppl call em soft drinks.

Club Soda / Soda Water is referred to here as soda. Everything else is usually pop.

I don't think I've said pop in a very long time though, because I haven't had a can of pop since I was about 13, and I usually get "fountain drinks". There's more than just pop in fountains, like orange juice and margarita lime.

I find myself ordering lime soda all the time, which is margarita lime and soda water, but not actually a Lime-flavored pop.

I do have friends who call it soda, especially when talking about vending machines, but they do it just to be different. I think I prefer the word soda though.

[fahrenheit]

here in the northwest we like to think of ourselves as a little bit more progressive, a little more ahead of the curve...
we prefer the term fizzy dizzy drink

is mostly pop, soda pop, or the brand name

[LolHi]

I call carbonated drinks 'soda', except for carbonated water. I call that carbonated water.

[MyGuitarSticks]

Soda.

[iamgrimreaper]

I call it nuts. I mean, CARBONATED beverages? That's just impossible.

[6r0undZ3r0]

Everyone I know calls them soda.

[Psil0]

Here in Ohio almost everyone calls it pop. I know when I was living in Virginia I called everything coke.

So I propose a new one, fizzy shit.

[HungarianSupermarket]

Soft drink. Because in Australia if you aren't an alcoholic you are fucking soft.

[alucardxmeow]

Just...Soda...

[sushi13]

Either soft drinks or fizzy drinks.

[Prinzy2]

We call them by their real names, Coke, Ginger Ale, Club Soda, Tonic Water. As a whole though, pop is the norm.

I wonder why Americans call it soda though.

[142201]

I usually say pop. I didn't think it was any different in the south. I always thought that soda was just an older term that was dying out.

[TheBlackDahliaMurder]

Pop. But this is a stupid argument.

[Goldfire64]

i refer to it as soda. Getting a soda can or a soda bottle. I will say pop sometimes but it sounds silly.

This is Australia in a nutshell.

[Mecha-Bear]

Like most, I call them soda.

[Mikifune]

It's either called a "Coke" or the more acceptable term "Soda". When i was still a bartender "Soda" is the acceptable term for carbonated liquids

[Raab]

I think I flip flop.
Orange Soda...
Grape Pop...

hmmm..... or is it...

Orange Pop...
Grape Soda...

[Rawter]

I call them fizzy drinks :)
