Soda? Pop? Coke?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Soda? Pop? Coke?

Post by DanP740 »

Do you call carbonated beverages in general Pop, Soda, Coke, or something else?

We call it "coke" and occasionally "soda", but we see "pop" as being somewhat ludicrous.

Of those 3 options, soda. More often just "drink," shortened from soft drink. \:D/

Mostly soda, we never call soda in general coke, only the drink itself. Pop is common here to though.

Calling it "coke" is evil since Coke is a specific type from a specific brand. :noway:

"Pop" is most common around here, but soda is fine. I usually specify specific type (Mountain Dew, Pepsi Max, etc) rather than call it "pop". Or I just say soft drink.

Top has represented the northern Midwest (Indiana, Michigan) quite well. Everything said in the above post applies for me.

Except Pepsi Max stinks. :x

It's pop around here, but just two counties over it's soda, apparently.

There’s already a thread on this.
To quote myself,
bookworm wrote:Coke is a brand, so it is thoroughly incorrect and inconsiderate to label all carbonated beverages ‘coke’, I can’t stand when people do that. :x
I personally call them ‘soda’, but that’s a shortening of ‘soda pop’ which ‘pop’ also is, so I would accept either of those.

haha, I had forgotten about the Jonathan option.

And it's called pop here. If someone calls it soda in this state it's a pretty good bet they're from Wisconsin.

I'm not a huge soda fan myself, I'm good with sprite, but that's about it. Like coke, pepsi, root beer, stuff like that I can't stand.
