I call it pop in the UK. It does vary but I don't think it gets called soda anywhere.

oh god not this again, I'm hiding this out in the bunker. It has to be a northern/Midlands thing. My only frame of reference for it was The Beano, which again firmly places in my mind an idea of it being a mid-20th century colloquialism. It's definitely always been "fizzy drink" or the brand name for us Devonshire folk during my time on this Earth. Well I'm only 21, but my parents were born in the 60s so maybe it's a term that's been passed down generation to generation, and that's why it seems like an "old" term. Down South you're usually a bit posher which is probably why it seems fine to say "fizzy drink" even colloquially, while up North and in the Midlands it just sounds weird because we're more working class with stronger accents. always called it pop. or irn bru. |

IT IS POP  AND THIS IS POP/MEDICINE  *POINTS TO HAND*
MAPSoda is acceptable, but weird. Calling everything coke is just wrong. I like that the Vernor's can has Soda written on it. |

I grew up saying pop, but I don't get annoyed if someone calls it soda.

I have never ever heard anyone in the north or the south call it "pop". Maybe it's just a midwestern thing.

I call it pop because I'm not a goddamn animal. I live in the Midwest.
Can't believe people just call all pop "Coke." HOW DO YOU PEOPLE LIVE!?

I use soda, but I'm cool with pop. I have two opinions on the coke thing. Cola is coke (Except Pepsi and RC; like generic store brand cola) but everything else is not

Drank is universal around here. When you get into kool aid drank you add the flavor in front so people know it's kool aid and not soda, grape drank, orange drank, etc.. |

Pop when I lived in Minnesota, soda when I moved to San Antonio. Sometimes when i'm feeling extra northern, I will say pop all I want.
