What do you call your bubbly beverage?

[Husky_mom]

I think (even being from other country and speaking other language) I refer to is as Soda.........but when I was a kid it was Coke........even if it was Sprite or any other brand it was still Coke........

I think it´s like Kleenex.........with zillion brands out there, you refer to them as if the actual name was a certain brand.......at least in my case LOL

I usually call it by the brand name, but basically down here, everything is Coke.

I thought about it and came to that conclusion. I have always been aware of that whole thing, too...like calling all tissue "Kleenex" or all cotton swabs "Q-Tips", etc. I have always tried not to do that, I'm a Virgo, I sometimes can't help it.

Soda.

My husband, like most of the people in their teens and twenties that I know, refers to all caffeinated sodas as 'caffeine'. Pepsi, Coke, Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper... it's all 'caffeine'. Anything without is called soda. I don't have that habit, but maybe it is because I avoid caffeine. Dunno.

call it soda here

[krazyaboutkatz]

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.

We tease my husband from he's from New York, and says "soda."

We say "pop"out here in these parts.

I ask him if wants vanilla or chocolate ice cream with that, because to us a "soda" is a fizzy ice cream drink ... not a pop! LOL

I call it soda. But, over here on the east coast we call those fizzy ice cream drinks a "float."

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.

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!

[Suki Wingy]

It's called pop, no doubt about that!

[Kfamr]

I call them by their brand names, usually, if not it's soda.

[Husky15]

I call it by its brand name, or I call it pop.

[cassiesmom]

It's a Coke. Whether diet or regular, Pepsi or some other brand, it's a Coke.

[Almita]

I call it Coka because that's what you call coke in spanish so i'm pretty much call it Coka or Soda.

[cocker_luva]
