What do you call your bubbly beverage?

When I was younger, I referred to it generally as Coke. With Houston, becoming such a melting pot though, over the years I've gotten in the habit of saying the specific brand name, when ordering at restaurants.

I still use Coke with family though, if I'm speaking in general terms, such as requesting somebody bring "Cokes" to the party. Meaning an assortment of drinks, not just Cokes. With people I'm not as familar with, I use either soft drinks or soda water. I don't think I've ever called it pop.

Par...

I call it Coke. Every brand or type or whatever, it's all Coke. If you go to a restaurant here and say "I would like a Coke" the waiter usually asks "What kind?" instead of actually getting a Coke brand. That's how I grew up and it's how all my family says it!

It's called pop, no doubt about that!

It's pop here. :)

Almost everyone (including myself) calls it pop here.

Well, when I think of bubbly beverage I associate it with beer :o , but I know the intent of the poll and everyone around her calls is soda. :)

its quite funny! (and there is a story behind it)

but i call everything, unless its water, JUICE

call it soda here :)

I call it soda.:) My mom used to always call it pop and I always thought that was funny. She also still refers to jeans as dungarees and the beach as the shore. She's from Butler,PA.;)

Ditto I call it fizzy drinks or minerals if I said pop or soda to my husband or some of my friends they would look at me and ask if I was ok because pop is an ice pop or ice lolly or soda is soda bread or soda cake in my house....
