Pop or soda?

Take the big survey here: http://www.popvssoda.com/

The Midwest is definitely pop country, but the Northwest? I lived in WA state for a year, and I didn't hear pop there.
What do you native NWers say?

sorry, lol

:D

I say coke whether its coke, pepsi, or diet RC (whcih is what I drink because it has NO nutrasweet).

and " It's Cott to be Good " if you live in Buostin ya go down the storah to bu-eye sum tooahnic.....damn i miss that town.

It was all "Tooahnic", unless it was Coke.

i'm from a suburb outside of chicago (midwestern country and BLUE STATE) and have always said "pop" when referring to a bubbly soft drink (preferably diet coke). one thing i have noticed is that, in my experience, people in wheaton (a highly conservative town complete with religious colleges and home of one of bush's speech writers) have a tendency to say "soda".
....hummmmmm

Please

It got too expensive.

What makes you ever go to Wheaton... that place is hell on Earth.

I'm from Arlington Heights, and I thought some of the neighborhoods around here were bad... and then I went to Wheaton.

:puke:

my husband used to stock the tonic aisle at johnnies foodmaster in the square.

if you live in Southern Illinois.

..

George W. Bush calls it "pop". ;-)

I Dare You.

Your libel and smearing of the pop crowd is disgusting!!! :silly:

Don't know what Dubya actually calls it, though I still insist it's soda. :evilgrin:

. . . visiting relatives in New York City, my cousins found dozens of reasons to laugh at me--including the time when I answered Aunt Anne's question with, "Yes, thank you. I'd like some pop." . . . only to learn that "some pop" meant half of a "Popsickle"! Talk about confusion: Didn't I know--nyah, nyah!--that the fizzy stuff in a bottle was "soda" and that "pop" comes on a stick? Well, now . . .

(Hrmph!) . . . maybe they didn't have any better sense than to call a small hick-town bottle of pop a "soda" in the BIG city; but, back home? Well . . . back home, a REAL soda was a special concoction served in a tall glass (at the Kandy Kitchen's soda fountain)--served in a tall glass with a straw and a lon-n-ng-handled spoon and, yes, a few soda crackers on the side--but, in addition to being fizzy, a REAL "soda" contained ice cream and fruit. So, there!

;)

Ice cream and fruit! Love 'em!

better learn to say "POP". ;-)

My spouse says that's what they called them in her locale, growing up near Green Bay.

Unless it's Dr. Pepper, of course.

Except for Creme Soda. Coke, 7-Up, Root Beer, Lemon-Lime, etc. were "soda pop".

I dont care what it is, as long as its carbonated.

I actually do use the term carbonated beverage. No joke.

I guess I'm split. Usually it's pop.

We smack people around here who ask for a pop!:evilgrin:

The bubbles give me gas
