Soda or Pop? Where are you from?
« on: January 23, 2013, 07:56:10 pm »
I'm from Minnesota, and we call it "pop"... I live in Tennessee where my husbands family is, and boy, I definitely stick out in public when we go out and I order a pop to drink!

I've always called it pop although I have heard others call it soda. To me that just sounds weird.

 :cat: I am from the South(FL) and we always called it soda. Then I moved up north (WV/OH/KY) and they call it pop up here. I think in my mind, the term soda better describes the drink. Pop is like candy, which most soda's are as sweet has but the orginal soda was flavored syrup combined with soda water, so - soda wins. :peace:

I'm from Puerto Rico and when I moved to the states and heard the word "pop" I had the "deer in the headlight" look! Funny how everyone is so different even when speaking the same language.  :)

I call this soda. I am familiar with the term soda pop, but if you were only going to say "pop" only I think of music by default.

I am familiar with all the different ways to call soda.  I have used pop myself on occasion and soda or sometimes, soda pop.  I very rarely call it soft drink.
