Do you say dinner or supper for the evening meal? (Pepsi, pepper)

I grew up in Calif and its Supper and Pop for me. We drink Dr Pepper not Coke and in emergency.... its Pepsi

It's dinner and soda, grew up in Nebraska. In WA now, like in OR, they call soda "pop" but they still call dinner dinner.

Dinner here.

I also say pop. It drives my southern friends crazy, so I do say soda a bit.

Always grew up hearing, dinner is ready

Supper and Pop in South Dakota but we moved to Denver where it was Dinner and Soda so eventhough we moved back to SD we still call it Dinner and Soda and it irritates the heck out of my family

They are also SUPER irritated when someone calls their pick-up or SUV a "Truck"

I've only once in my life heard someone actually say "soda." It was in Myrtle Beach and the girl who said it was from Phillidephia. So obviously it would sound very weird to me.

Even the restaurants have "Pop" printed on menus. (if they didn't call it a soft drink)

There are some here who call the evening meal "supper," but mostly it's called "dinner."

I grew up in the South and we say supper, but when I use what I was taught in school as proper English, I say dinner.

Either way, just don't forget to call me when it is ready!!

NOVA didn't used to be like that. When I grew up there, we called it "coke" or "soft drink".

Soda is something you bake with.

From California, always called dinner and soda. Supper always sounded very old fashioned to me, kind of like Grandma and Grandpa would say.

Growing up in the Boston area we always said "Suppah"
