This site stresses me out, so I rarely come on here anymore. I'll try to be civil and respectful towards those I'm debating on here. If you don't extend the same courtesy then I'll probably just ignore you.

As a by and large term I refer to soft drinks as ''juice''.
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

It's obvious those in New York colloquially refer to soda as "Pepsi".

Interesting. Pity few contain real juice, as it as many health benefits and a lot of people don't get enough fruit. Hmm. Maybe I should start selling smoothies as soda to improve the national average vitamin intake.

Smoothies taste terrible.

Suit yourself. I recently went through a phase of smoothie addiction, drinking 2-3 a day.

I don't ever use them and I hate the term. I guess a soft drink is the closest phrase that I use.

Soda. I said pop when I was younger, but now that word just sounds weird to me. Don't know why.

I say "soda," for no reason that anybody can figure out, because I grew up in Minnesota and everyone I knew said "pop." Nobody can figure out where I got it from, not even me, but I was doing it as young as 3 years old. Fortunately, I moved out to the East Coast for college, and "soda" is the norm out here.

I call it soda. I'm from western Canada and the people around me often called it soda, but I heard pop as well. Three years after I moved to the U.S., I had a southern classmate and he called it 'Coke'. If he wanted orange-flavored soda, he would call it 'Orange Coke', and would proceed to put the type of flavor or drink in front of Coke to refer to what specific kind of soda he wanted. Since then, my family has gone on some trips down south (mainly to Florida) and we've passed through very rural parts of Kentucky/Tennessee and they often called it Coke as well, but they understood soda/pop and everything. However, I have heard some stories from friends when they went down south, and their waitresses/waiters didn't know what pop/soda was; they only called it Coke.

What about you?

Carbonated soft drinks are called soda in the Mid Atlantic.
