anyway Personly speaking its it Soda for you or is it Pop?
When out and about and you are asked "what kind of drink do you want?" how do you respond Coke or Pepsi? [ 12-11-2003: Message edited by: Somthor ]
So I ask for a fanta when I want a fanta, coke when I want a coke, pepsi if (god forbid) I ever wanted a pepsi...
Makes much more sense.

Somthor obviously shouldn't have said:
its a matter of regional dialect. Some areas prefer to use the term Soda and others Pop, both mean a soft drink.
Most midwestern states say pop. However: Missouri has always said soda. it's weird that way.
If the place only has Coca-cola products, only Cherry Coke.. 
As for what I actually ask for... Mountain Dew, Sprite, or lemonade mostly.

RIG dorve me nuts by calling every type of soft drink "Coke".
Coke's a brand, not a type of drink. (Cola is the flavor of stuff like RC, Pepsi, and Coke)
Soda is something you BAKE WITH!!

I know people who use Coke as a generic term for soda. Just like how people use Band-aid as a generic term for adhesive bandage strips.
But I always say what I want by name. Coke is Coke. Pepsi is Pepsi. Etc.

At Work everyone calls a reciprocating saw a "Sawzall", which is Milwaukee’s Brand name for it, Same thing happen with calling pliers and shit channel locks, It's a brand name. The only time I find this not a problem is for Vise-grips because usually locking pliers are Vise-grips, nobody else makes good ones ‘cept Vise-grip (Our Craftsmen version blows big ones with that laminated steel bullshit) [ 12-11-2003: Message edited by: Pyscho_Pike ]
I call it soda, as do both my parents. That's the general trend around here.
And for whoever it was up there who said soda is for baking... that's where the name "soda" on the beverage originated. Not sure of the details, though.
Like if I am hankerin' for a Mt. Dew I say so. Or if I want a Vanilla Pepsi I say that.

Ford Prefect was naked while typing this:
My dad's from Ohio. There, if you order a soda, you get a float (ice cream in soda-pop). Here, if you order a soda, you get just the substance itself, syrup mixed with carbonated water, courtesy of the Coke or Pepsi machine. Of course, if you really wanna go for political correctness, you'll call it a soft drink, because obviously orange juice and milk are rock solid.I call it soda, as do both my parents. That's the general trend around here.

I live in Ohio, and I have no idea what you are talking about. A float's a float. Soda's regular uhh.. soda. No ice cream included!
When someone asks me to get them a coke, I will ask "What kind". Most of the time the response is "Dr. Pepper", but if I hear "regular" you will recieve a Coke.
By the way, Karnaj, what's a boilermaker?
No, Really. Bite me.

Same here, except for the English part. I'm from Louisiana.
What I actually want varies depending on my mood and how I feel.
