What do you call soda/pop?

[Inky Noodles]

Here in Aus... it usually just means a carbonated drink.

To a twisted mind, it can mean just about anything you can make fizz in a cup or bottle.

Like carbonated water?

[Desperate Measures]

Type II Diabetes Fizzy Drink.

[Esternial]

Yeah, it just makes you weight more, gives you less energy. You know, cause that isn't bad at all.

Sex also gives you less energy.

[Arumdaum]

i guess its a south thing, we call it that here in florida as well.

Nope

Weird...

[Kota land]

I'm from Tenn. if I'm ordering at a restaurant i say the name. but in general i say coke

[New East Ireland]

Yeah, it just makes you weight more, gives you less energy. You know, cause that isn't bad at all.

I'm also pretty sure that it is necessary for human life.

You are confusing over-consumption of sugars (especially refined) with... sugar in general.

I meant the sugars that are used in soda, but I was at first referring to soda being bad for you. A can a day isn't so bad, but still.

[Alevuss]

I call it by the name of the product.

^This, unless I'm speaking of soda/coke/pop/other in general. Then, I call it soda. I've never heard it called coke. I think I've heard it called pop a few times, but only by the elderly.

Yep. All soda causes heart attacks. Especially that bacon flavored one.

Is two a day bad?

I don't need sarcasm. As long as Coca Cola can take the rust off of a car, I'm not drinking it.

You're not in danger of dying, but I'd cut back.

Better than five a day.

[Ovisterra]

Better than five a day.

But still a lot.

[Derpusherpus]

Soda or coke. Usually I say soda in writing and coke orally, depends a bit on how formal the setting is. Carbonated drink when I want to be really formal.
English is not my mother tongue.

true... but its coke...

I've never heard it being called coke either. And I've only seen soda referred to as "pop" in really old books and stuff, but not in real life.

[Mr Bananagrabber]

We normally call products by their brand name. Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Fanta, Solo. Also use generic names like, cola (very uncommon), lemonade, lemon squash, sarsaparilla, ginger ale. We only ever say soda in the context of soda water or baking soda. Never say pop. Pop is a ridiculous thing to call it.

[New East Ireland]

true... but its coke...

I'd cut back.

But still a lot.

True.

[Jagalonia]

Mix.

[Arkinesia]

I call each one by their brand name. I thought that option would be pretty obvious.

If I want a Fanta, I ask for a Fanta.

Well I never ask for a Fanta because Fanta's nasty. Except the blueberry kind but they don't sell that here because Coca-Cola are dicks.

Excuse me? Soda is filled with sugar. Sugar is bad. Heart attacks are bad.

Soda = Heart attack in a can.

Sugar =/= bad.

No, but corn syrup is.

[Esternial]

Oh, I do sometimes use the term "frisdrank"

[Vyttoria]

people from the midwest call it pop, thats the only people that have a different way of saying soda, coke and soda are just personal preferences

[Wiztopia]

You have ignorance. So you need sarcasm.

[Der Teutoniker]

I tend to place them in the liquids category.

So you do not differentiate soft drinks from any other liquid? Wow... everyone around you must be pretty confused.

Edit: I also never inquired what state of matter you classified it as.

No, but corn syrup is.

Everything is ok in small enough amounts (except obviously poisonous/toxic things). Certain things, like sugar and corn syrup, only have to be consumed a little before they start being bad.

Basically, sugar is not bad if you consume it in moderation.
