So what is it? Pop, Soda, Coke, or something else?

Question

I call it pop. it's funny cause when i leave the midwest and order "pop" somewhere people will be like...WTF are you talking about?? haha

Answer 1

its cola

Answer 2

It's pop in the Midwest. Soda in the South (or a Coke...even if it is NOT Coca-Cola)???

Too funny you ask. I grew up in Illinois and have lived in Texas for 16 years. Pop irks me now when I go home. That's stupid isn't it :)

Good question.

Answer 3

I call it Pop. I have a friend in TX that calls it Coke.. doesn't matter what kind of pop it is, it's still called Coke. Also heard it called Soda water... weird...

Answer 4

I am from the South, and down here it is all Coke, even if it is something else. The possible exception Dr. Pepper. Also we drink our iced tea sweet, and order it that way, as "sweet tea". We expect the server to sweeten it for us, not just bring us iced tea with a packet of sugar on the side.

Answer 5

Well, I'm from the south, and when I was younger, I would say,"Mom, I want a coke." And she would ask me what kind. Now, I just say which ever drink I want by name so there is no confusion. Other than that, people around here usually refer to soft drinks as a cold drink.

Answer 6

Soda pop.
