ZandraJoi Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Going off of the Coke vs Pepsi thread. What do you call them- Pop or Soda? I’m in Michigan, USA & we call it pop. When I visited a penpal in Tennessee years ago, she had asked me if I wanted a Coke. But she offered Pepsi lol It was funny how they referred to “Coke” as generic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Yeah, there are loads of terms for them. Here in the UK, the generic term is "fizzy drink" 😛 ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncrowned Guard Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 We always used Soda as the term for it up here and it seems to massively outweigh the alternative "pop" term.

So getting a Pepsi, Coke, RC, etc. is all good for "I'll like a coke" most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
