Soda or Coke are correct. People who say Pop are lizzid people.

How the fuck is coke correct? That's a specific type of soda.

This explains a lot about tc. Anyone that sees the change shown by these maps as a bad thing was raised in a shitty place. No wonder he's such an awful dude.

Because I was born in Virginia, grew up in Florida, and currently live in Tennessee. Coke is king. Pepsi is still Coke here. Cheerwine is Coke.

Soda's fine too.

I still call it pop or soda. Fight me.

Super easy when I like getting polar pops from circle k. Rolls off the tongue nicely.

I've lived in the south my whole life and coke as a generic form of soda has never been a thing. I don't even know why that's always on these things.

I'm on the pop border in Indiana. I call it soda or, if I'm being fancy, "carbonated beverages."

I've only ever heard it called pop.

Coke is a specific drink and I can't remember soda being referred to as a general label.

"Soft drink" where?

I never said that. And I'm pretty sure I have heard people online say it's the latter.

Regardless, we're discussing the general term for fizzy drinks and coke still doesn't make sense.
How quaint.

When was coke meant to mean Coca-Cola? Maybe people back then used the term Coca-Cola to refer to Coca-Cola and the term coke was used for any carbonated beverage and then maybe people over time merged the two together because Coca-Cola is the most popular carbonated beverage and it was just simpler to say coke when people knew that Coca-Cola was the one you wanted?

Like imagine in the future if the terms Sprite and soda merged together so whenever you say that you wanted a soda the people will take it that you want a Sprite? Could it be possible something like that happened here with Coca-Cola and coke? Idk

The second that it started being used? Coke is the brand, Cola is the type of drink. It was in part because of Coke's high popularity that it was like how "Google" is used for searching something online, "Band-Aid" is used in place of bandage, or "Nintendo" is used in place of video game console: there is a portion of the population of extreme brand reverence that they use a particular, usually the most popular one (and almost assuredly the particular one they use/consume), in place of the name of the thing that they are dealing with.

I've been calling them "carbonated beverages" because it sounds bad and encourages me to not drink them.

The brand is Coca-Cola, as is the drink.

Coke has been trademarked since 1945. It is a brand name for Coca-Cola.

Is there any measurable citation for this?

Also, as an advocate for soda that lives near Chicago, no way in hell has Chicago lost its status as a pop town.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

If you simplify every carbonated beverage to "Coke" and get pissed when you get a Coke instead of a Pepsi, you should instead learn to be thankful, because Pepsi is awful.
Without truth, there is nothing.
