Pop indeed. I have cousins in Pennsylvania who say soda, and we are always getting into arguments about the right word.

I say soda. Pop seems so old fashioned for me. And no, I'm not poor and uneducated. Down here everybody says soda or coke. It really doesn't matter much to me.

It's called pop. I wonder where that comes from, though... I always thought that perhaps the very first pop was by name Pop! or something like that... Anyone really know? Just curious...

if you're not saying pop, then you're part of that weird majority of americans who basically include everyone outside of michigan....thus, if you say soda you probably cant spell euchre. or give me money...

"Jone's Pop" just sounds weird...
Anyways, when I went down to Tenessee a few years ago, everyone called any carbonated drink "coke." I heard some beatnik order a "Pepsi Coke." I was going to give them the ol' "Brand Name Product Association" speach from Clerks (Bandaids vs. Adhesive Strips,) but he probably wouldn't have understood my complex Northern language.

I lived up North about half of my life, but I never said Pop. All of my cousins from up there do though. When I came down here, everyone assumed I would say pop even though I didn't, and so they made fun of me always. Like my friend would say "you want a soda-pop guys?". (Guys being another northern word, ya'll being the one used down here in SC).
But i say it doesn't matter. But if someone used carbonated beverage, or even pepsi-coke, i would slap them.
