Stop Calling Soda Pop

I hate it when people call it pop instead of soda, it makes me want to cringe when people say it but I try hard to not to because they would be wondering what its wrong with me. I'm not the only one who hates this?

They're called soft drinks.:evil:

I'm pretty sure they're called fizzy drinks! :x

Pop, man.

I call soda, soda...or Coke.

I call it Dr Pepper

But it is pop :|

Mostly everyone in Canada says 'pop'.

At least, I haven't heard anyone say Soda here in the past 15 years that I've been here.

I hate it when I go to a resturaunt and I say "Can I get a coke" and they say "Is a pepsi ok?" That annoys me.

No, pop is a verb. A drink is not a verb.

If some one caught them selling Pepsi under the name coke, both companies could get them in a lot of trouble.

It's bad enough they call it pop, but they also have to go as far to hate people who use the term that actually sounds right? That is just sickening. Those people need some help

[QUOTE="majoras_wrath"][QUOTE="BuryMe"]Why?

I call it pop. People who call it soda annoy me, but i don't hate those people...Nick3306

How do I block this person?

In my area it is soda. I've never really like when people use "pop". It sounds so.... kiddy.

Pop rolls of the tongue easier, so I prefer it.

Still, I mostly just refer to it by the brand

RE: this 'can't serve you pepsi if you ask for coke without asking' debate, does that apply to other beverages as well? I've heard of multiple people who serve in restaurants where people ask for ginger ale and they mix sprite with a small splash of either coke or pepsi, and people can't tell the difference. Is that illegal too, or would it only be illegal if they asked for one specific brand of ginger ale? Does that also apply if I just go in asking for a cola-type beverage, do they have to tell me what brands they have? XilePrincess

If they asked for a specific brand of gingerale, then yes, that is the only brand they can serve, unless the customer approves another one after the waiter suggests it.

If you ask a waiter for "cola," then they can serve you any company's cola. Because like ginger ale, it's a generic term to describe the flavour.

Also, here is this since it fits the thread

Though from experience N. Kentucky should be blue as like Cincinnati ohio(which is deply blue)pop is the more popular phrase, defiantly not "coke"

i call it by whatever the brand name is lol.

Soda, or the name of the specific drink.

Personally I would be quite worried about your priorities if you became upset about the name used for soda...
