ChAiNz.2da Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Been awhile since I started a frivolous poll.... but I saw this one on Eatocracy and thought it was pretty amusing (reading the comments). Thought it could be especially interesting amongst our worldwide demographic. Being from Michigan.. it was always referred to as 'pop' however after moving down here to the South (TN).. it seems every carbonated drink seems to be 'coke' For me personally however.. I've always called it "soda". Yeah, I roll like that... While we're at it.. if you do drink this poison (literally ).. what's your fave? I've pretty much abandoned the elixir.. except for the occasional mixer that involves the ingredient (Cap'n and Coke, yum) but in the hayday, Pepsi was my fav, followed by Mello Yello.

mimartin Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 At least around this area of Texas we use the term soft drink, but 'coke' still is used quite a bit (not by me). I usually say Dr. Pepper and if they don’t have that I want sweet tea (and around here that does mean iced tea). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Soft drink.... but since I only really drink Coke, that's the only word I need to remember XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totenkopf Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Soda. Cherry Coke (just coke when w/rum). Have preferred Pepsi to Coke, but kind of sick of both by now. Dr Pepper has been tolerable......but only when really cold. Rootbeer is ok, but best in a float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawathehutt Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I usually use soda but its not a big deal to me. People calling water/drinking fountains bubblers, now there's an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Avlectus Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I like most anything that is carbonated. Hence I am always passing gas. I used to be an energy drink aficionado until some of the negative side effects were affecting my health...I usually take 2 days to down a Bawls g33k b33r. Love Crush strawberry, Snake River and Sioux City Sarsparillas, Jones' cream/green apple/blueberry lemonade, Teddy's root beer, Go2 Cola (yeah, that's right generic because coke and especially pepsi both SUCK), Orange soda (Watched Keenan and Kel--it's true-uuu I do I do I do-ooo), and homemade sodas are the bomb. Root beer of all kinds, actually. Faygo brand sodas (LOOOONG before ICP made it famous), Rock'n'Rye and some others...really it's all just like safeway generic brand but in a glass bottle. Bubble up lemon lime and any other "Pure Cane Sugar" sodas. Lastly, I call fizzy stuff Martinelli's or any other bubbly cider...and I call white champagne "Fizzy-Piss" because I picked it up from watching the Osbournes. Blame Sharon.
