It seems that everywhere I go here in the US, it is called a different name. I was taught that it was soda or soda pop. However, just a few miles form me they call it tonic!!

We call coca-cola 'coke' but other ones 'soft drink'
I prefer the hard drink myself.

Coke. It's always Coke. It doesn't matter what kind of drink you are actually ordering, you're ordering a Coke. Unless it's a Pepsi, and that's only because saying you want a flat, recarbonated Coke is a mouthful.

I call it by it's flavour or brand name depending on if I'm in a pub or a supermarket. However whilst living in Stromness Orkney as a kid the local people called all fizzy drinks lemonade so if you were in a cafe and asked for a lemonade they would ask you "which flavour?" :)

Pop. For each flavor of course I am brand specific. All carbonated soda drinks are "pop". If I want Pepsi, Root Beer, Creme Soda, Fresca, etc. I say so, but I call it pop in general.

In general, it is all pop, but if I want a Pepsi, I will ask for it, and be told they only serve Coke products...lol

I usually just call it soda until someone asks me what specific "brand" (Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, etc.) I would like

What else would I call cocacola besides coke?



pepsi is a vile witches brew, no kick, no carbonation.. just sugar and brown sewage water.

Who would have guessed that my little tale, the very First one I ever submitted to Lush would be read by so many?
It shocks me a little to realize that it has now served over 20,000!

Exactly!

"I'll have a Coke."

"Will Pepsi be okay?"

It has changed over time. When I was a kid, I knew it as pop, and seldom was allowed to have it. When I joined the navy, most people just referred to it as coke. Somewhere along the line, I took to calling it soda. My favorite flavor / brand is Coca Cola.
