Answer 9

We had long discussion about this subject when I was at camp. We went into the dinning hall and I asked one of my buddies, "Do you want to get some pop?"

He just gave me a funny look and asked, "What's pop?" (He was from New York; I'm from Colorado)

I said, "Ya, know, soda pop." The whole day we argued what was the right way to say "carbonated beverage.".

Answer 10

I'm from Minnesota and we always called it "pop."
Now I live in New England, and it's "soda" here.

p.s. A little aside, in Minnesota we called ice cream mixed together with a little milk and flavor a "shake" and a mostly milk with some flavor mixed up was a "frappe." Here it's exactly the opposite. go figure

Answer 11

Virginia, Southern, we call it a coke, but I have heard it called soda. In utah, where I lived, it was called soda. In Washington, where I was born, it was called pop. I never call it sodapop, because it reminds me of that movie, The Outsiders," where there was a chartacter named Sodapop.
