pop is getting smaller and towards the midwest, eventually it will just be minisoda.

Maybe the Pop and Soda users can at least band together to get Coke removed forever before returning to their own fight. I don't know really know which of those two I prefer, but it is insane to refer to a Mountain Dew as a Coke.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

Not at all surprised where it's concentrated though. The poorest, least educated, least healthful States in the country, where corporate branding has superceded basic terminology.

Would you like a Coke?

hands you an orange crush

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I'll never forget my horror when I asked for a medium coke and the lady just handed me some random beverage. She didn't even ask what kind of coke I wanted.

Though nowadays the only coke I drink is la croix.

I'm from GA, and I never understood people calling all soda a coke. Giving someone a Pepsi when they asked for a coke is enough to start an altercation around here -- they are not at all considered interchangeable

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

I mean, I assume part of that standoffishness is simply local pride since Coca Cola is headquartered there.

It's pop and I will die on this hill

[-] Dhar@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. I prefer the word soda. Prepare to die.

I stopped needing to refer to carbonated beverages in everyday language like decades ago

Soda is carbonated water.

Pop is dad.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

It's petty popular to pop open a pop with your pop. You should pop in some time and give it a try.

Born in a pop stronghold, and it is still holding. Coke is a brand, not all pop!

I grew up almost exclusively hearing "pop," and use it in casual situations, but I prefer to use "soda" in public. Asking a server what kind of "pop" they have seems odd to me, but at the same time asking a friend if I can grab a "soda" seems odd as well.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

Pass me a fizzy beverage, my good sir.

Had to scroll all the way to the bottom to find a fellow soda pop enjoyer. Shame.

I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda S O D A, soda

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda". Y O D A, Yoda

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

I say 'Soda' but with a Midwestern accent to compromise.

I mean, I moved to Michigan from one of the soda areas, and I give people shit when they say pop so. Am I the baddie, no it is they who are wrong.

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

As a Coke, I have to say I never soda this coming

[-] bcgm3@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Question for the folks in the gray area... Are you all referring to all brands and flavors of carbonated soft drinks as 'Coke,' or has Coca-Cola beat out all competitors there, or how does that work?

[-] xanu@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

All brown sodas are Coke. Sprite and it's equivalents were separate at least where I grew up. you ask for a coke and the person taking your order asks "what kind?" and you clarify "Pepsi" or "root beer" or "coke coke".

I make it a point to intentionally dead name soft drinks based on the region I am currently in.

Forcing servers to engage in neuron activation is my hobby.

[-] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 months ago

I'm doing my part to fight back, moved to California from Michigan and my girlfriend used to say pop ironically but she's said it so much now she uses it too.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

THE SODA HAS OVERTAKEN THE POP FRONT! COKE HEADS, FALL BACK!!

Grew up as a Pop but switched to Soda in adulthood. Saying "pop" sounds bizarre and crass now.

New Mexico is still a Coke state.
