I say all three.

 

Soda, Pop and Coke.

coke

I say soda...my home county 80-100%

Coke.

Pop.

 

I say Soda occassionally, but usually pop.

Interesting.

 

By "Generic soft drinks", do they mean that folks in the red areas refer to Sprite or Crush as "coke"?

Pop.

 

Goes right along with that map.

Very Interesting article.....but Mississippi says coke....

Give me a liter of cola.

I say coke no matter what it is. I can't stand "Pop".

Soda for me..

soda when i want something other than pepsi or coca-cola...but since i usually want either one of those i usually say coke...and i agree with chewie pop sounds wierd...i guess its what your used to.

Pop.

 

I used to have Southern roomies and that Coke sh*t was just weird and funny to me as an outsider looking in. Especially when they used it in resteraunts and the waitress would say "We have Pepsi products..."

 

Wonder what qualifies as "Other," just calling the drink by it's name?

I use Coke or soda.

Coke, unless it's been made clear that it's Pepsi only.

Christ, people, it's called a soda.

That map is only based on 120,000 respondants, though. I'm not sure that's a fair gauge in a country this big.

OK, I have a dumb question:

 

For the context of this, are we using this as "hey, let's go get ____" or (to the waiter/waitress) "yes, may I have a _____"

 

If it's the former, then it's soda, if it's the latter, coke...I mean, you can't order 'soda,' you have to specify.

The first one.

Hmmmmm...

 

See I was under the impression you say "I'd like a pop." and they say, "What kind?" My roommates said when they ordered Coke from their neck of the woods that they'd ask what kind and you either said "Regular." Or order the preferred nomenclature of.

If it was random sampling, 120000 is ridiculously way more than enough. Most national polls have only about 1000.

Yuh, that's why I hate those stupid "USA Today" polls as I call them.

A soft drink is soda to me. My county (Lee County, FL) is 50-80% soda as well. Coke is a specific soda (aka Coca-Cola). Pop is what northerners say.

Soda, Coke

I rarely hear anyone say "Soda" or "Pop," it always "Coke"

 

Silly survey
