    It’s just a regional dialect thing. Where I grew up, we called it “coke,” even if it was a Dr. Pepper. That’s the only one that is truly irredeemably wrong.

    I had to train myself to call them something else. (I chose “sodas” because that was the only alternative I knew.)

      Coke makes more sense than pop, since coca cola was literally named after the term.

  I live on the edge of the soda / pop line in western NY. I grew up firmly in soda land, and that’s what I call it.

  What is pop? That’s your daddy. Or music. Or goes the weasel. Certainly not your beverage, man.

  At least we don’t call everything coke, I guess.

  And then there’s the weirdos who call everything Coke.

    Who would win: people who call every soda “Coke” or moms who call every console “Nintendo”?

    I’ll accept either “soda” or “pop”, but I will never accept those “everything is a coke” freaks

    Still less weird than all those bourgeois that call everything by the brand name.

    “Ooh, but it’s a different chemical compound, look at me, I’m so important!” I DON’T CARE! If it’s a powder and it’s white, it gets the same name as everything else.

    I’ll die on this hill - no one calls everything Coke and those who claim so haven’t been in the South especially the area around Atlanta. “Coke” is used as an example - for instance, “Hey, can I get you anything? Coke, beer, water, or something?” Yes, they mean they have soda one of which is coke. No one would say, “hey, can you get me a coke” and mean Sprite / etc. At most, they may use it to mean coca-cola products but usually you’ll get a list of which sodas they have and are offering

      It’s the whole “Is Pepsi fine?” Thing.

      You ask if they have coke and they will say “is Pepsi fine?” Then you can say “Yes I’ll take a Sprite” and get Starry.

      Like you can’t order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like “I’ll take a soda” and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.

      You could ask for a “coke” and accept any soda. But you’re not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.

  I grew up in a “pop” part of the country. Then moved to a “soda” part of the country for a while and not only did I change my word usage, but I decided I liked “soda” better because it was a more accurate description of the beverage.

  I have since moved back to my old “pop” area and I still use “soda” and I get weird looks. One of my friends even called me a traitor.

    Modern carbonated beverages do not use soda, and they haven’t since the 1800s.

    “Pop” is from the sound you get when opening a bottle.

    I’d say one is much more applicable than the other.

      As a can drinker, that’s the reason I call them “Crrrsppppclick glug glug glug”.

      It’s not champagne. I’d probably be ok with calling it “fizz” or something though.

      I don’t know the onomatopoeia for opening a can, but I wouldn’t call that a “pop” either.

  If you’re in, what was it, Atlanta? The city where Coca-Cola was invented. They’re all called “Coke” there.

    “What type of coke would you like?”

    “I’ll take a Pepsi”
