When I was a child, my grandparents in Michigan would offer me a "soda-pop". In Oklahoma the fizzy beverage seemed to be known simply as "pop". My brother-in-law from Washington, D.C. refers to the drink as "soda", and my husband, who is from Texas, calls it "coke" - as in "What kind of coke would you like?" "I'll have a Dr. Pepper, thank you".
So ladies, what do YOU call the popular carbonated beverage, and what part of the country or world do you attribute to your preferred cola name?
Report Abusecoke is a name how can i say this like people i tryed

Report AbuseGrowing up in rural MS we said pop. But when we moved to a bigger town, everyone there and eventually said coke. I wonder if saying coke is a Southern thing? Isn't coke a Southern company?
Report Abuseusually i call it soda but my dad also from texas calls it coke
Report AbuseIn Florida, it's coke. In Chicago, it's pop.
Either way, I prefer beer. :)
Report Abusei am from ohio this is my take on it..
pop is from a can or bottle..soda is from a fountain, when my husband and i go get soda's its a polar pop from citgo with lots of ice. i guess i came up with that conclusion b/c of the whole "soda fountian" thing.
Report AbuseRaised in Il. it was soda or soda-pop I live in Arkansas now and its coke whatever it all tastes good but I dont buy it for our house it is reserved as a treat for when we go out.
Report AbuseI call it soda and I'm from NY, I recently moved to Utah and people call it pop... it's kinda confusing.
Report AbuseIn the San Francisco area its all "soda". You rarely hear "pop" and "coke" is just another brand of soda, along with 7-up, dr. pepper, root, beer, etc.
Report AbuseWhen I lived in Texas it was a "coke". Now I live in the Pacific NW and I hear "soda" and use the term "soda".

I’ve heard the phrase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” more times than I care to count. But being the science nerd I am, I won’t believe it until I see it—the scientific evidence, that is.
