What do you call a carbonated cold beverage?

[popcornbird]

I call it cough syrup. He he he! Seriously though.....I don't like most sodas at all, and I think Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper.......all of those DARK sodas taste like cough syrup. I don't touch any black/brown soda. I can drink sprite, orange soda, cream soda, etc. if there's nothing else available, but Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Root Beer, etc. is stuff I won't ever put in my mouth. I can't stand their taste and sweetness and bubbles. Yuck.

As to what we call them, I have called them *soda* throughout my life, and NEVER knew there were people that call ALL sodas *Coke*. How wierd! I've heard people calling soda *pop*, but never *coke*. Coke for me is just *Coke*, as in Coca-cola. Any other soda is *soda*.

"Coke" and "Pepsi" ONLY came as COKE or Pepsi...

"Orange Chush"...

"Dad's" and "A&W" ROOT BEERS...

and when they ALL came in real GLASS Bottles? -
with Bottle CAPS that needed an *Opener* to get the darn thing off??

Then along came CANS - STEEL Cans withOUT "snap-tops"...
so you had to find a Church Key to get into the dang CAN!

"Those were the Daze..."

When we went to South Dakota, we went to an "old time" Western town. They had some different little shops. At the outside of one shop, you could buy pop. They came in glass bottles. Of course they weren't from your time but I thought it was kind of neat.

At our grocery store, we can still get "Crush" and "Dad's" pop in the glass bottle, too.

I call it soda if I'm talking about it in general.

If I want something, I call it by product name...Pepsi, Sprite, etc.

Me too

[heinz57_79]

I call it soda... my cousins, being from the midwest, call it pop, but with their accents it kinda sounds like PAP.

[Sirrahsim]

I call it soda. None of this southern stuff like caling everything "Coke" for me!

Sheesh, both of my parents are from the south, but I find most things about the south annoying and slow... Where did I come from? Lol

Shopping carts in CT are called Buggies in Michigan.

lol I'm from Michigan... and I've NEVER heard anyone call a shopping cart a buggy! Maybe this is because I'm from Amish country and buggies are rampant. If you said "A buggy ran into my car in the parking lot" it would be too confusing!

[sirrahved]

Dad-

Every time I've EVER heard you talk about pop, you call it a beer! Or aren't you willing to own up to this?

[dappledoxie]

I call any of them coke. Even weirder b/c I don't care for coke, the actuall drink. I'm a Pepsi person, lol!

I am a little confused, but in NZ all carbonated drinks would be anything ranging from coke to sprite, to fanta,lemon and paeroa, all sweet fizzy drinks, we don't call them pop, or even sodas, we have ice cream sodas, which are usually sprite and ice cream mixed together.

Ok Carole - if you are going to the store to buy an assortment of things like Coke, Sprite and Fanta - collectively, what is it you are buying?? Cold drinks? Carbonated drinks? Soft drinks? If *I* am going, I am buying an assortment of cokes!!
