YES

Saying "pop" instead of "soda" makes it sound like you're from the 1950's

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Other way around.

It isn't either, it's called coke

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I call it that too and everyone says "You mean POP!?" Freaking Michiganders.

It's called purple drink because there is no other than grape soda.

It depends on where you live, actually. In the Midwest it's usually called pop, and I know for a fact down South people call everything 'Coke' because my relatives from Oklahoma say it for everything. >.>

You beat me to that post :/ just to add all of the Canadians I know say pop, so farther north also uses pop.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Oklahoma isn't south; everybody I know there calls it pop. Now where i live, Louisiana which is south, we most definitely call everything coke.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Technically, Oklahoma is in the south, but i don't really consider it "Southern" either. I live in Louisiana too.

If anything I'd call it midwest but not south.

Cool story bro. I don't really care what you consider it, I was stating what I know from my experiences. "HURR DURR LET'S GET TECHNICAL ABOUT WHAT OKLAHOMA IS CONSIDERED, DERP!1!1"

It's not so much a story but being able to actually read a map or have basic knowledge of geography.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know, I'm not four. I was just using a meme to imply that I don't care. Also, I do have basic knowledge of geography, thanks. I think it's South, you think it's Midwest. Not that big of a deal.

I'm just letting you know that way for future reference you wont actually sound like you're 4.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

OH WOW THANKS. Without that, my life would never be complete! By the way, it's grammatically incorrect to type/write '4' as a number, you're supposed to spell it out. I'm just letting you know for future reference so you look educated.

I believe its called the Internet for a reason. When I am in my college classes I do use correct grammar. When I'm on the internet and don't particularly care what a bunch of kids think then I don't worry as much. What's the worst that can happen, a whiny teenager acts like they're the shit because i typed "4"??? Not a big issue to me when said whiny kid doesn't even know basic geography. Thanks anyway though.

yeah, that makes more sense..

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know, right! I live in Louisiana too and if I ask someone if they want a Coke I start saying all the kinds I have, like Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Root beer.

When I lived in Ohio everybody called it pop. I live in Arizona now and everybody calls it soda and I had to get it right because I would get a lot of weird looks when I said pop.

Why'd you move to Arizona? Too many restraining orders?

I live in Florida and we either call it a coke or a soda:)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Ugh, I call it soda, and I'm in the Midwest so I am like the only person who does...but I'm still right! ;)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'm in the Midwest too and it's SODA. We're totally right.

To my knowledge the whole of England says Pop :)

Then your knowledge is wrong, sorry mate. We tend to call it 'fizzy drink' in the South..

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I dunno why, but "pop" sounds horribly unintelligent.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Actually, it's called Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, etc. No one I know calls it soda or pop. And, I live in GA.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

in canada we call it pop

by Anonymous 14 years ago

montana=pop :)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Illinois= pop. You get a scolding and a funny look if you call it anything else. "Soda" sounds unappealing...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I have a friend who moved down here to Louisiana from Illinois and she said pop too. But it's been about 4 years since she moved here and she says soda or coke like a real southerner. :)

Pop is a drink. Soda is a baking ingredient.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

pop is a noise. Soda is a delicious fizzy drink.

I say a mix because of the east coast of the midwest. It just depends on where you learned it.
