Pop,Soda,Coke

Yes. Isn't it funny how people have different names for it? What does your family call it?

I grew up in the north east mainly in NY and we called it soda. My dad grew up around TX and calls all soda, Coke even if it isn't the brand of coke. My mom grew up in Canada and later NY calls it pop. I had a great aunt who grew up in TX and called all drinks Coke Cola. Not just coke. But the most unique name for I've heard is tonic. My mom's cousins called it tonic. They lived in NH.

This thread reminded me of a quiz from New York Times that can tell where your from based on the words you use and the names you have for things.

I'm always surprised at how many names there are for potato bugs and fireflies.

I am a Michigan transplant to Pennsylvania. Michigan it was pop, Pennsylvania it is soda. That is one thing I refused to give up; calling it pop. Most of the time people don't know what I'm talking about. Anyway, it's a thrill to hear it called pop on TV again since I don't get to hear it anymore.

Now I just need them to have a card party and play Euchre and that would be perfect. I never get to play that anymore because it takes four and nobody has a clue what it is here.

I grew in the south east and always called it soda. But I know a lot of people who call it coke no matter what brand or drink. My dads side of the family is from the north east mainly CT and call it pop.

I'm from KY, and its either called pop or Coke.
Since my immediate family drinks Pepsi products we never developed calling it Coke we always say "We're out of pop", but I have aunts and uncles that will ask "What kind of Coke you want" Plus depending on what part of the state, most rural areas its coke, but you get into Lexington, or Louisville its generally pop, but soft drink is becoming very common place in areas with universities.

Is this Idaho? Because I will not limbo in Idaho.

I have always called it soda. Living on the east coast all of my life, I have never heard anyone refer to it as anything but soda.

I've always called it all 3 myself.

Although, most frequently call it pop.

I doubt they THE MIDDLE can reference either pop/soda as "Coke" for legal reasons.

I live in Texas. Regardless of what kind of soda you want, we always refer to it as getting a Coke.
