Pop Vs Soda!!

I thought this was really interesting. It seems that a **** load of people call the same thing different things. Even within the same states/cities. Sorry UK, but this map only features Canada and US de A. Oh and by the way of you vote Pop your not a normal human being. Recent studies show this.

soda sounds natrual to me.. or coke.

Soda.

When I say 'pop,' it sounds like 'pot,' and I hate having to clarify everytime I talk.

No, I don't have a lisp, I just say soda instead of pop.

Phonetics is serious business.

i always call any kind of soda drink, coke.blooddog28

Why does such a detailed study exist! :cry:Locke562

That's why I thought it was interesting lol. What scares me is that there are still many empty spots. Have they not developed a name of the drink yet? Only time will tell. BTW this would make an excellent Supreme Court case. We need one word instead of 6. :P

I think I obsess because 'pop' has so many meanings in our language, like it's a type of music and has many verb meanings to, wheras 'soda' just means one thing.

That's why I try to avoid confusion.

I have no speech problems.

I would just rather use 'soda' when I mean to talk about that.

I prefer the more pretentious term chilled carbonated liquid beverage. Roles right off the ol' tongue.

In Canada absolutely nobody says Soda, everyone here says pop,I thought that was an american thing? like how they say sofa and we say couch, they say candy bar and we say chocolate bar..no?ProtestTheJOEL

Pop. Soda doesn't sound right to me, and Coke is just unnecessarily complicated imo.

I live in Michigan so it's pop for me. :D
