soda, pop, or coke? what do you use for carbonated beverages? (Pepsi, country)

[KittenSparkles]

I think this is a regional thing.

When I lived in San Diego, carbonated beverages were referred to as soda. Where I live now, its pop.

So, what do they say where you live?

Soda...if it's ANY kind of carbonated beverage....if it's a cola, then it's "Coke"!!! (Even if it's Pepsi, or RC!!!)

[CraigCreek]

None of the above, unless I'm being specific about Coke. They're all soft drinks around here! (Central Ky).

You forgot the soda pop option. I generally call it any of the 3.

We're fairly proper up here. We call all carbonated drinks "soda". Coca-cola is called "Coke". Pepsi is called "Pepsi" (although it should be called "Pepsi-cola")

If you ask for a "Coke" and they only serve Pepsi, they'll ask you whether Pepsi is okay before proceeding.

In North Carolina it's often called a drink or soft drink.

[Hopes]

It's pop in Pittsburgh. I've learned to say otherwise when I'm in soda country.

We're specific about our Coke. If we say Coke, we mean Coke.

Being a Texas girl, and coming from one of those "maroon" counties on the map, it's "coke" for me.
