What do you call soft drinks?

[Cam's iconCam]

What do you call soft drinks where you live? Some people living in northern United States call soft drinks pop. I live in Tennessee, and I'm pretty sure we call it soda. What about you?

I call it flavored carbonated drink.

No, just kidding. I'm in Iowa, and it seems like most people here call it pop.

I tend to call it pop for the most part, but I usually correct myself because I feel like I sound funky.

Pop sounds too old fashioned. I just say "soft drink" or "soda"

 

[Homerunsox2005]

I refer to it as pop. Sometimes I just say coke though.

What we call soft drinks is basically just the drinks that you can get from the soda dispensers at fast food places. Lol.

I found this the other day in an article about regional vocabulary.

And then there's this, which is a lot more specific.

It varies, pop soda or soda pop. I think its pop mainly but i use multiple things

Pop is what people up north seem to call it, and some rednecks seems to call it soda pop.

Down here it's soda though.

I call them soda, and so do most of my friends. I was surprised to see that the majority of Kansan City folks call it pop. I don't hear pop too often around here. I was also surprised to see on the map that a majority of southerners call it coke. That doesn't even make sense to me, since Coke is a brand of soda. I'd understand Cola more than Coke.

I call them soda if you mean just Pepsi and such. I'm a big fan of soda and am tryin' to cut it from my diet. lol

 

[wasi90lk]

I call them soft drinks or soda. I rarely call them pop.

 

[Guardian]

Just Sodas, and I come from the South where everyone calls them 'Cokes' regardless of brand.

"What kind of coke do you want?" "I'll take the Dr. Pepper."

A drink that goes down your throat softly.

We call soft drinks those that have a fizz
