What do you call Pepsi or Coke?

Question

I was just wondering what people call Pepsi or Coke, whether it is pop, cola, soda, Pepsi, Coke, or whatever you use.

Answer 1

North-pop, South-Soda, Texas-Coke

Answer 2

I travel regularly in over 35 major US markets and find Coke/Pepsi is most commonly referred to as "soda". In the Midwest I appease the locals by using "soda pop". In the South, "coke" refers generally to carbonated beverage drinks (i.e. "coke" is Coca-Cola, but "orange coke" is an orange drink like Fanta Orange.

Answer 3

I grew up in the midwest calling it pop. Until I was about 16 and I started calling it soda just to be different. Now that's all I use.

My husband was only stationed in the south for a few years, but he says Coke for any soda. Drives me nuts!

Fanta, 7UP, Sprite, Gingerale, L& P etc etc - if we want the diet type we say Diet before which drink, little kids ask for a "Fizzy Drink" hoping they will get it hahaha.
