CrypticVillain Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I could have told you that most of the Midwest says pop. Here in DC we say "soda" as I am sure you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Soda comes from a fountain (although I call it soda a lot too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armstrong001 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Went from 4th grade to H.S. graduation in N. Virginia. I was in the habbit of saying "coke", but now I alternate between "coke" and "soda". Of course, I also actually mean COKE when I order it. If they have Pepsi, fine. But I'll always ask for Coke. I can't stand it when I hear "pop" here in Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrock Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm in the habit of slapping people that say "pop" Up here in the great white north, we say 'pop'. I've heard 'soda-pop' a few times from the older generation. Should I try to slap people who say 'soda'? Nah, that would be wrong. And why "Coke?" Don't people know what pepsi is? Or was that supposed to read 'cola'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah I say soda but I'm from WV and my entire family says pop. I went to WVU and everyone from there said pop. They also call knit hats toboggans, so I dont put any stock in their crazy ass dialect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm in the habit of slapping people that say "pop" Amen to that. Yeah, regional differences, what you grew up with, it's all relative, blah blah. "Pop" sounds ridiculous, particularly in places where few can pronounce the short "o" in a way that sounds natural to anyone from anywhere else... so it ends up sounding like "pap." That sounds so appetizing. I'll have one pap, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailinginSeattle Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm a soda guy. I've been out in Seattle a few years now and they say 'pop', still sounds funny and weird everytime I hear it, I make a comment everytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 And why "Coke?" Don't people know what pepsi is? Or was that supposed to read 'cola'? Simple, Pepsi is inferior. They also call knit hats toboggans, so I dont put any stock in their crazy ass dialect. :kungfu:A toboggan is a hat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toboggan_(hat) It's Appalachian American English boy don't chu know?

terrifNick21 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I just say the name of the drink..lol... If it's a Coke, I say "I'd like a Coke."....If it's a Dr. Pepper, say "I'd like a Dr. Pepper."...lol. Guess I'm a weirdo, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I went to WVU and everyone from there said pop.They also call knit hats toboggans, so I dont put any stock in their crazy ass dialect. My wife kills me on toboggan all the time..I learned to start calling them toques (sounds like tokes).... I use pop and soda interchangeably. It makes sense right? I mean it is soda pop, right? Another term that I grew up saying (since my parents were from WV) was calling shopping carts - buggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofMcboof Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I call them corn syrup ****tails. Yeah I'm one of those anti-HFCS people. Bite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I usually say "beer". That is a cool map, BTW. NoVA is soda territory, but I have extended family and friends in Iowa and Ohio, solid "pop" country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsBry Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 When I was in the Army, I made a soda run one day. Most of us drank Mountain Dew, including this one guy, but when I asked him if he wanted anything, he said a Coke. I brought him a Coke and he started ****in' up a storm. "Coke is a brand name" was my argument. I've had similar arguments about Crescent and adjustable wrenches. Crescent is a brand name, nobody backs me up on that one though. Nobody but the facts.

Bliz Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 And why "Coke?" Don't people know what pepsi is? Or was that supposed to read 'cola'? Not in Atlanta. It's not supposed to read cola. I've been asked (especially in more rural areas) "What kind of coke do you want?" And the answer could be sprite or whatever. It's weird. I grew up in Bethesda so definitely soda.
