If I want sprite.....I call it sprite....
If I want mtn dew.....I call it mtn dew etc etc etc lol But if I had to call it "pop" or "soda" I would go w/ soda, I'm from California & everyone there (northern cali) calls it soda. Then when I moved up to Washington state.... I noticed everyone here calls it "pop". My sister & I use to make fun of it cause "pop" just sounded so funny hehe...im a little more use to it now but still wouldnt use it -------------------- |

I'm from northern West Virginia, which I thought was considered east coast. I know I'm not on the coastline, but I close to it, and I call it pop. Everyone I know calls it pop. You sound like an old person from one of those 50s-60s movies when you ask for a "Soda." At least that's the way it is around here.

Exact opposite, i've never heard or seen a movie in the 50's/60's that they call it soda, its always pop or soda-pop. Around here, its soda. Pop sounds so old-fashioned.

it's soda i tell you. My friend and i have had long arguments about this. but we always agree that location has very little to do with it since we live only a few hours from each other and i call it soda and he calls it pop then corrects himself and says " soda." then i smile and say good job.

A true soda is that. Thats where the real word came from, ppl just started using it to refer to soft drinks later. A soda is milk, carbonated water, flavoring, and a scoop of ice cream. I worked at a soda shop for over four years. And soft drink came about 'cause its soft compared to hard liq. |

QUOTE(Supersprynt @ Dec 6, 2004 - 11:59 AM) no soda is just a sprite, or a pepsi or a mt. dew. A float has ice-cream, theres no other name. [right][snapback]217566[/snapback][/right] similiar to a float not a float |

But soda is just soda, theres nothing in it, straight outta the can or bottle. Regardless of what it USED to be, soda is just plain old Coke or Pepsi now.

from what i understand... people think that pop/soda is a east/west/midwest thing to say. Ive lived in all and have heard people in every area think that what they say is from thier area and the other is from another area. In my experience its not a regional thing though everyone claims otherwise. It might have been a regional thing at one point, but with the advent of mass media such as radio and television i tihnk it has blended to the point where people on every coast and in the middle both say pop or soda. Its just what you grew up with or are more comfortable saying.
I personally either say soft drink or soda simply because i remember the Sunny D commercial... "Soda, Oj, purple stuff... Ohhh!! Sunny D!" -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |
