No, Coke is Coke. That's like calling all cars Fords.

Another Ohioan for Pop.

tsolomon · 01-21-2009, 11:56 AM

No such thing as a brand called "Coke". There is Coca-cola, Diet Coke, New Coke (hope to God that stuff is gone),etc. Growing up in Atlanta, where Coca-cola is headquartered, it is as Cigary said, soft drinks are referred to as cokes. Now I understand the confusion it can cause but it is not wrong what we say just different than up there. If someone asked me if I wanted a "pop" I'd probably throw up my dukes thinking they were about to swing

It's soda for me, all the way. Pop sounds ugly.

I can remember listening to a southern comedian, Lewis Grizzard with my dad, (who is also very southern), and the joke was, "What's pop? If you don't stop saying pop, I'll pop you upside the head with this coca cola bottle!"

DrDubzz · 01-21-2009, 01:52 PM

I call it soda

however I don't disagree with the other choices (assuming it's a cola being called a cola)

the only thing that gets on my nerves is when drinks other than coca-cola classic get called coke. they have names unique to themselves, please use them

Willygt · 01-21-2009, 02:05 PM

Soda for me!

but I do know people who call it coke.

In Mexico the diference is in the north they call it Soda ( I am guessing for the U.S. influence), but in the south they call it "refresco" (which would be something as "refreshment").

Another southern boy

Coke

SmokeyJoe · 01-21-2009, 02:30 PM

Grew up saying Pop.... usually say Soda now.

Bruzee · 01-21-2009, 09:34 PM

Soda......

ghostrider · 01-21-2009, 09:42 PM

Nother vote for pop here. I've traveled all up and down the East coast, and now on the West coast. Now I call it pop just to see what kind of reaction I get.

Here is a link to a company that was huge when I was growing up. They went away for a while and are now back. The name of the company says it all!

We had one of those (or at least the same name) in the Chicago area years ago.

Soda for me, dislike the word "pop"

but Hell, I also refer to what most call a drinking or water fountain as a "bubbler"

Who told you to dislike the word "pop"? I didn't tell you to dislike the word "pop". Suzy, get me the NAFDATWP people on the phone.....

Nick · 01-22-2009, 10:56 AM

Soda or coke, had a teacher from montana who called it pop and hated when some one said soda.

RC Cola > Coca Cola

01-22-2009, 11:02 AM

We always called it coke.
Ie:"Hey dale can you get me a coke?"

"What kind of coke do you want?"

"Dr. Pepper sounds good"

Ahhh, God bless Tx

Lumpold · 01-22-2009, 11:39 AM

Same deal -

I ask for a tissue. Why confuse the issue with brand names. And before you start, I call my Dyson a Dyson, not a hoover.

Coke and Pepsi are COLAs. Cola is a type of POP.

SODA is a tasteless/colourless fizzy liquid that some people mix with their scotch. I drink SODA with a slice of lime.

Substitute 'Fizzy Drink' for 'POP' and I'm with you. I never understood why soda is called Club Soda in the US....

Isn't that strange - I call our Dyson a vacuum.

I also call the Hoover, Panasonic and Dirt Devil vacuum also - don't want to confuse the issue with brand names -

But I do call the Shop Vac a shop vac -
