What do you call your bubbly beverage?

[Ginger's Mom]

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!

It's called pop, no doubt about that!

It's pop here.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Almost everyone (including myself) calls it pop here.

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