I've always called it soda, when referring to soft drinks in general...Jersey girl here Of course, if I want a COKE, I ask for a COKE. If they say "is Pepsi OK?" usually I'll say yes because fountain Pepsi is about the only kind I like...then again, these days I usually just order an unsweetened iced tea anyway.

I grew up in NYC, which is definitely Soda territory. When I was 14, I went to camp/summer school in the Chicago area, which is where I first heard about Pop. If you asked for a soda there, you'd get a frappe, or something of the kind. There was a fellow there (hell, why can I remember his Ham call sign when I can't remember his name???) from Texas; where he came from, asking for a Soda got you Alka-Seltzer...
(It's "pop" in Buffalo as well. They consider themselves the easternmost part of the Midwest.)

I grew up (at least until age 11) in Texas, and back then it was all called Coke. You would order a Coke and they would say "what kind?" Then you would say Coke or Dr. Pepper or Pepsi, whatever. It took me forever to learn to say soda if I didn't want a Coke!

Quoth EricKei View PostWriting to you from "hardcore coke" country here, as well...Where "Pepsi" is a valid response to the question "What kind of coke would you like today?"Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
