[jabumbo]

click it (http://www.popvssoda.com/countystats/total-county.html)

[TurdBerglar]

[jabumbo]

so people in the south call all soda coke?


i wonder if the south is the whole reason why coke is still around. everyone i know prefers pepsi, unless they are drinking it with jack daniels or bacardi...

[TurdBerglar]

i don't even like soda anymore


give me some oj

[cosmo105]

uggh pepsi is disgusting.

i snicker if i hear someone call it "pop."

[zorra_chiflada]

a lot of people call it "fizzy"

like, "would you like some raspberry fizzy?"

[jabumbo]

its interesting to see how pennsylvania is pretty much divided right down the middle, and in the end, they almost balance out in the total


and then you look at north carolina, and think what the hell is wrong with those people?

[Chicka B]

I call it soda. Alright this is funny, my older half brother's a retard and he says to my mom "hey, do you have any pop?" and my mom says "popcorn? :confused: " HAHAH!!!

[ET]

they are drinking it with jack daniels or bacardi...

Duh.

[marsdaddy]

Alright this is funny, my older half brother's a retard...I'd think you'd be more sensitive with a brother who's special.

[Chicka B]

I'd think you'd be more sensitive with a brother who's special.

NOOO! Not literally!!! sheesh. :D

[QueenAdrock]

Soda. Pop sounds way too 1950's. And retarded. And not all soda is coke, so that's stupid too.

Soda, bitches.

[marsdaddy]

I usually call it "liquid death".

[Documad]

Yeah, everyone here says "pop". I usually say "Dew" though. :o

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

You cant come to Chicago and say "soda" we all say Pop. The people in Chicago have the worst slang next to New York and Tri-Chester County :rolleyes:

[monkey]

melanie and i have had this conversation. i told her she needs to start using the term soda more. like.. always.

[cookiepuss]

well, call me crazy but most of the time when I ask for a carbonated drink, I just call it by name, "coke", "dr. Pepper", "hey could I have a sip of your Mountain Do?", "yes I will have another glass of Champange."

However when I lived in Eastern Washington it was "pop". even the champage. most of the time we'd mix it with coke or sprite. NOOOOO! I'm kidding. come on, that's gross!

[jabumbo]

soda is that tasteless shit with bubbles that you use as a mixer

[cookiepuss]

real men don't need a mixer. ;) :D :D :D :D

[Chicka B]

You say pop?

[jabumbo]

i cant stand that stuff or tonic water

[marsdaddy]

Whenever I order a coke -- rarely -- and they say, "is Pepsi okay?" I always ask if they have root beer.

[Documad]

Whenever I order a coke -- rarely -- and they say, "is Pepsi okay?" I always ask if they have root beer.
I always ask "do you have coke or pepsi products" and if they have pepsi products the waiter will look all sheepish and say "pepsi" in a small voice. And my eyes will lock with my lunch pal and I say "GREAT! We'll have some Dew!"

TWO restaurants I go to have the audacity to have neither coke nor pepsi products. Their cola is foul but I forget what it's called.

[Chicka B]

I either like moutain dew, or root beer. I don't drink too much soda though.

i should have known that you were a caffeine hound :rolleyes:

[Chicka B]

OK I lied, I drink ALOT of soda mostly moutain dew. I know it's bad for me but whatever you know.

[gaselite]

wow, that's... quite interesting actually :P

down here we just call it 'soft drink'

or like, call it by its actual name, like coke or lemonade or fanta or whatever D:

[Documad]

i should have known that you were a caffeine hound :rolleyes:
:D

I've been putting in long hours lately. So when the cleaning lady emptied the 4 large/venti coffee containers out of my trash at work this afternoon, she gave me a pitiful look. But do you know what? I've been sleeping fine! (y) Apparently more caffeine and more stress was the answer.

[HEIRESS]

pop

I cant say soda, sometimes Ill say "yeah can I have a soder" if im drunk though

[Lindsey_1535]

pop mostly.
soda only at tiome

[TurdBerglar]

[Lindsey_1535]

[TurdBerglar]

[Lindsey_1535]

I WISH I had abirthday fuck .ophh mos def not happened yet though.

[TurdBerglar]

[Lindsey_1535]

you jnow what, we should punch him right in daaaa ballls and be all WHOO INYO FACEEEE

[DroppinScience]

It's pop, dammit! :mad:

It's funny, QueenAdrock felt that "pop" was too 1950s. As a matter of fact, *I* find "soda" too 1950s.

Go figure...

[Medellia]

Oh no! Droppin, you say "pop"?! :(

[Sandinista!]

I found a state called "Montana," clicked on it, went back to the main map, and now I can't find it.

Has anyone else heard of this unremarkable, previously unknown, vanishing state?

[DroppinScience]

Oh no! Droppin, you say "pop"?! :(

I think Canadians all call it "pop." It seems a lot of the North of the United States does the same. Once you go south, you hillbillies start calling it "soda."
:mad:

[pip07]

You cant come to Chicago and say "soda" we all say Pop. The people in Chicago have the worst slang next to New York and Tri-Chester County :rolleyes:

I disagree. Soda it is.

[Medellia]

:mad:
Actually, I think most people here call it "pop" too. I'm one of the few that calls it "soda". :o

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Pop.

I've never said "soda" in my entire life, unless I am referring to our soda stream which produces foul cheap and nasty pop.

[insertnamehere]

pop sounds stupid. calling ANYTHING soda-ish "coke" that isnt is completely stupid. if you have to use something generic, say "soda".

when we write things on our grocery list, we just put "drinks" and thats assumed to be coke for me and whatever the hell my dad drinks for him.

i despise pepsi, and thats the most popular one as far as i can tell where i live (north carolina)


and yes, what the hell IS wrong with these people?

[HEIRESS]

how about we all just start calling it "soda pop" and be done with it

[Beth]

i say coke, regardless of what it is. it's like how tissues became known by the brand name kleenex, or cotton swabs being called q-tips. i don't think it's that odd.

i do clarify at a restaurant by asking for diet coke.

[g-mile7]

so people in the south call all soda coke?


last time I check we (from Baton Rouge, La and have family in Missp.) they call it pop the older folks (40-up)

[CiaoBella]

I call it pop. . .

[Rancid_Beasties]

Pop?? Thats a sound (not your dad, not coke or pepsi!!). Soda?? Thats basically fizzy water...somewhat like sparkling mineral water. Coke?? Thats acceptable for cola products but you can't call a lift, fanta, sprite or lemonade (the australian form) coke. Thats just rediculous.

Soft Drinks is where its at. Or fizzy drinks like Zorra said.

Another term for coke here is gut-rotter.

[beastieangel01]

pop

I cant say soda, sometimes Ill say "yeah can I have a soder" if im drunk though

I say soda, sometimes I say soder just cause.

Crazy that someone even looked in to this whole thing and made a MAP even!

[redhead]

seeing as i basically only drink coke, all is usually say is coke.
but if i was referring to some other brand in general terms, i would say pop...

it goes like this
"i want a coke" <---- as that is all i want
"there some pop in the fridge" <------if its anything other than coke

[jabumbo]

I say soda, sometimes I say soder just cause.

Crazy that someone even looked in to this whole thing and made a MAP even!


the map would be really easy to make if you had all your data in an excel sheet. you just have to know how to use GIS. i could make that map in about 20 minutes if i had the data...

[beastieangel01]

who would put this information in an excel spreadsheet even.

I can't imagine putting any work in to knowing this information.

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

You say pop?

Yes i do, Infact, i dont think i know anyone from the Chicago area who calls it Soda. I remember they used to call it Soda Pop in Ft. Lauderdale and that was annoying as fuck.

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

I disagree. Soda it is.

ok, basically everyone exspet for this dude, but hes a cubs fan, so we must forgive him. :)

[adam_f]

I call it 'A party in my mouth, and you carbonated bubbles are invited! OH, YEAH! HIGH FIVE!'

[jabumbo]

who would put this information in an excel spreadsheet even.

I can't imagine putting any work in to knowing this information.


well, imagine if you conducted this over the net, and just had people plug in their location and choice. then you could have those results just plug into a sheet, or pay some scrap on a work study to type them in for you. its probably the laziest phd study ever

[Documad]

Coke?? Thats acceptable for cola products but you can't call a lift, fanta, sprite or lemonade (the australian form) coke.
:confused:

[zorra_chiflada]

:confused:

you don't have lift in america?
it's like lemon squash.

[Documad]

:confused: :confused:

[zorra_chiflada]

:confused: :confused:

like lemonade but more lemony.
like mountain dew

[Documad]

like mountain dew
Then I'm sure I'd like it!

[zorra_chiflada]

Then I'm sure I'd like it!

i like mountain dew too!

all the skater kids drink it because tony hawk is sponsored by mountain dew.

[Documad]

I think I started drinking Mountain Dew when I was a kid because my parents hated its color and so of course I insisted on drinking it and got hooked.

I was eating with a bunch of people my age and mentioned that Tony Hawk had a cameo in the Lords of Dogtown movie and they all went "who's Tony Hawk?"

[enree erzweglle]

A year or so ago, a friend of mine was diagnosed with MS. :(
To prepare for the diagnosis (which is long and arduous), she had to have a couple of spinal taps. :( :(

I researched bunches of things for her on the Web about this and found out that after you have a spinal tap, you should drink Mountain Dew to avoid the bad headache that usually follows those tests.

After her first ST, she didn't do the dew and had the bad headache; the second time, she did and didn't (she did do the dew and didn't get the bad headache).

It could have been a placebo or just the caffeine from MD or some other factor, but she was happy not to have had that headache, which Kim said was pretty bad.

[avignon]

that's a cool map. I noticed the term changed when I moved south. I also noticed that a housing addition became a sub-division. There were some other ones but I can't remember them all right now.

[Rancid_Beasties]

like lemonade but more lemony.
like mountain dew
Its not really like mountain dew at all....Its basically like lemonade, as the Americans know it, mixed with lemonade, as we know it. If that makes any sense. But yeah I dont get the mountain dew comparison :confused:

[beastieangel01]

well, imagine if you conducted this over the net, and just had people plug in their location and choice. then you could have those results just plug into a sheet, or pay some scrap on a work study to type them in for you. its probably the laziest phd study ever

I still would not do it.

Unless I was paid to.

[Documad]

After her first ST, she didn't do the dew and had the bad headache; the second time, she did and didn't (she did do the dew and didn't get the bad headache).
:eek:

I just KNEW that it had magical qualities all these years! Whenever I'm sick, it's the only thing I want.
Sadly, I have to save it for sort of special occassions because of all the sugar. :(

[jackrock]

i think most- if not all canadians call it 'pop'. why? why? BECAUSE IT IS POP!! :D

[jabumbo]

I still would not do it.

Unless I was paid to.


come on....best work study, ever??

i would kill to get soemthing that easy, yet so entertaining at the same time
