What do you call it? Also, put down where you are from. I think it would be interesting to see what areas call it what.

I call everything Coke. If I'm getting a Dr. Pepper, I say "I'm gonna go get a coke." Stupid Coca-cola... I've been brain-washed!

Despite what you heard from Edge and Christian, we call it pop in Canada.

I'm Canadian and I call it soda...because pop sounds dumb. Actually, I just said the type of soda or brand.

Like: "I'll have a Coke/Pepsi/Root Beer/Dr.Pepper/ etc.

I grew up where it's called Soda, I moved to where we call it pop... mainly the middle of the country uses pop or coke...

 

 

I still use soda.

I do the same thing. At a restaurant I'll ask for a "Coke" and the waitress will say, "Sorry we have Pepsi." And I say, "ok, what's your point?"

 

It's is generally called soda here in Boston. From my travels I haev determines through and intricate study that here in the northeast it's "soda" and the mid-west and south it's "pop." I've never been further west than Chicago, so I don't know about that but it's probably "pop." People are so stupid everywhere else. :)

I call it by name; if I want a Mountain Dew, I say "Mountain Dew."

 

To the people who say "pop," what do you call cream soda?

For Cream Soda, we always institute the "recognition by name" postulate. I mean, you couldn't call it "cream pop", could you?

"Cream Pop"? That sounds funny.

 

I call it soda. I live on Long Island. I have never met a fellow LI'er or NYC resident call it pop. I went to Niagra Falls and I think they called it soda to.

We call it pop in Pittsburgh.

 

And the rest of PA (pretty much) calls it soda.

Pop, Vancouver, BC Canada.

Not every Canadian says Soda, some Canadians like Edge, Christian and Tom Green say soda.
