I call generic soft drinks..







In Canada, everyone calls it Pop. In the UK they call it Soda or Soda Pop but in the US it VARIES..as some call everything COKE..

So what do you call a generic soft drink that's high in carb and sugar?

Here's a map that shows just what people call it in the United States..

Pop

So like how does this generally work in the south, they call every soft drink Coke as if it's a generic term? Like they call Pepsi "Coke?"

Wouldn't be too weird, a lot of people call Puffs' tissues "Kleenex" out of the same habit.

I spent half my life in WA and that map has always confused me. It says most people in WA say pop. But I never heard anyone call it pop. Nearly everyone I know said soda

I was going to say that there could be plenty of regional differences within each state, but the map is labelled by county which makes that explanation more difficult.

Maybe regional differences within a particular county that wouldn't necessarily swag the poll results?

I'm Canadian and I sure as hell don't call it "Pop". If I get a Pepsi product I call it Pepsi, same with Coke.
