Cookies. And cheese.And potato chips. It's all good. And if drinking counts, I drink way too much soda. I actually have four empty cans on my desk from a few hours ago. I only remember drinking two.
And, Captain Lunch Box, what about Pusspuss? |

I say soda. Because I say pop wierd. And it's a stupid name. Even though soda is usually stuff like old fountain sodas or something and pop is like Pepsi and Dew and shiite.
What about sodapop? It's all the same. |

I think alot of it has to do with where in the country you are... for instance in the north, or specifically in michigan we all say pop. If you go down to florida they say soda.
I wonder what started this though.. why some people say pop and why some soda. Why wasn't everyone saying the same term since the beginning of "soft drinks"? |

Nathan you are correct it has everything to do with where you are from. Here in Indiana majority of the people say pop, while down in South Carolina I asked a hotel receptionist where the pop machine was and he didn't know what I was talking about. The other receptionist knew what I was talking about, and he informed his dim-witted coworker that I was looking for the soda machine.

I'm from Indiana and I say soda, but here's the thing...I learned it from spending a lot of time down south. Mostly Houston, but also Tampa and Gulf Shore. When I would ask for a pop, they would have no idea what I was talking about, so I adapted. When I say soda here people know what I'm talking about, but when I say pop there they have no idea. Pop is just some hillbilly/hick word. They couldn't pronounce soda so they looked at eachother and said, "Hey Earl. This here drink's makin' some kinda popin' sound." "You're right Hank. We should call it pop, since I can't read this word on the side of the bottle. What's it say? Sssss...aw...day?"
------------------------ VOL Dumb-down: "Sssss...aw...day?" = idiots trying to pronounce soda. |

Wow thanks, that explains why where I grew up in SE michigan, and where all my family is at in NE michigan call it pop. It seems like pop is a more of a midwest term then specifically north.
