Pop vs everything else - what do you call it?

[jeffy777]

I live in one of the dark red spots in Tennessee. It's coke people, it all started in Atlanta, GA with Coca-Cola, or Coke for short.

As for the "idiots in the South" comment. It was made here, it's named here.

Carbonated beverages have been around long before Coke, so people can call it whatever they want

I really don't care. I'm an idiot, I'm in the South. It works.

EDIT: Maybe I should've added a smiley to my last post, as I wasn't being serious. I just call it coke, most people here call it coke. Or maybe I should just leave and go to bed.

I knew you weren't serious. I was acknowledging myself as one of those idiots :lol:

Here it's called 'sodavand', so that would translate to 'soda water' or something like that, I've always been confused by all those wierd names for it that doesn't make sence.

coke and cola are specific to one brand - coca cola. In general, we call such drinks soda.

I always call it pop or fizzy pop, and I always have.

Pop
Though as I am originally from Scotland I would also call it Juice or Ginger. I know, I know it's not juice but that is the Scottish (or at least Edinburgh) generic term for any soft drink.

Brus.

I'm more of an alt. rock fan myself.

Oh, wait. Sorry

I used to call it pop, but now I'll just call it coke, pepsi, cola or lemonade or whatever.
