Do you say soda or pop or coke???

I grew up in north Missouri - I said Pop.

Then I went to school with a lot of guys from St. Louis and now by being around them, I say Soda.

If it is name brand type stuff it is Pop. If it is like cream sodas, the grape, orange, etc stuff it is soda.

need a bigger map so I can see where "tonic" is.

Not sure where they got it from, but if you can't read, the main delineators are:

Soda = reddish

Pop = Greenish

Coke = Purplish

Other = yellow/blue

grew up in atlanta, so its either coke or water

I grew up in Michigan so it was Pop for me. But I haven't lived there in over 10 years so its usually soda or sodapop now. I've even caught myself saying Coke once or twice because I lived in Atlanta for 4 years.

Soda... everything else just sounds funny.

I grew up in Virginia and NC and I've always said Coke. I hear soda every once in a while, but I never hear pop around here.

We have always called it soda... granted my 5 year old calls my beer 'daddy sodas'...

Paul S · Jul 20, 2010

daddy sodas are yummy

Everything around here is a Coke, unless it's a Dr. Pepper, especially a Dublin Dr. Pepper.

How 'bout "drink", pronounced: dra-ank?

OSUguy98 · Jul 21, 2010

Most everyone around here says "pop"... Here at work, at least, I use the brand name (at least in my head) - "I need a Coke", as opposed to "I need a coke".... since we only have a Coke machine outside....

Soda. Always has been, always will be.

If I ask for a Coke, I **** well better get a Coca Cola!

Soda, and I grew up in NE Missouri. My Granny used to call it pop, but they were originally from the Wyoming area, so it makes sense.

You can also get other flavors of Coke, if you like. Coke comes in Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, Mountain Dew, and other popular flavors. Take your pick.

I'll never forgive the writers of the TV show "8 Simple Rules" for repeatedly using "soda." The show was set in Detroit.

I moved to Tallahassee in 1999 and my first lunch was at Blimpy's Subs. I asked the clerk for my sub and a "large pop." The girl didn't punch anything any at first, just looked at me and asked, "Where you from?"
