I\'f I\'m talking about one specific kind, I\'ll call it by its name. But if I\'m talking about several kinds, I call it pop. That\'s what we call it here in Alberta, and probably the rest of Canada.

"Soda" sounds gay to me, so I guess it all depends on which one you use

I don\'t really call it anything. I just go and get something to drink. I don\'t announce that I\'m going to get it.

Sometimes. But I usually prefer to just hit the table until they give me what I want.

well I dont really use the word soda. I just say Hey you want a pepsi? or Hey you want a coke? or Hey get me a pepsi etc you get the picture. But I never used the word pop. It just sounds wierd. When I hear the word pop, I think of pop stars like Britney Speared or NStink.

This thread should have been a poll with Soda, Pop, Coke, and Pepsi as the choices (and maybe an "other" choice too).

Here in Utah, everyone calls it pop. But I call it Soda because I like the attention that I get when I say a word that isn\'t used very often here.

The only reason they call it Pop in Utah is because everyone in that state came from the midwest. Utah really isn\'t a western state since it\'s completely populated by midwesterners.

On Guam we say... "Gimmie drink".. Someone replies with... "What kind?"... replies back with a Pepsi or Coke.

Hmmm. I didn\'t know that they had Soda/Pop back in the 1800s when the pioneers settled in Utah.

And actually, the people started to come from New York, so there goes that "midwest" theory.

Pop for sure...Soda just sounds dumb.

*goes back to watching NASCAR with hand in my pants* Err...I\'m not a Hick...
