I call them caffeinated beverages.

Actually, I call them "Ed"s. No, I will not explain why.

edit: sigh, Blaze has ruined my image macro surprise without knowing it. Curse my metal body!

This is only the 47 millionth time we've done this.

Around here we just call everything a drink. "Hay, go to a drink machine and get me something."

If I want a coke/pepsi I ask for a cola.

Here (as in my house) we generally say coke, even if we mean pepsi. Or we just say "get a can". Other than that its fizz.

Damn, I just realised I am out of pop.

I hate it when people call it pop. That's so ridiculous. Soda is OK. For some reason, around here it's all "Coke". "Oh, hey, grab me a coke." "OK, what kind?" "Big Red."

Soda...as in soda fountain. If I want something specific, I'll ask by for it by name or type (cola, lemon/lime, grape, orange); if ordering at a place where you get your own (free refills for teh win), I say soda (ie "I'll have a big mac with a regular soda please").

My area, the Midwest, is clearly in the 'pop' region. I was raised to know that fizzy drinks were 'pop'. In recent years I moved out of Iowa and closer to Chicago. The closer you are to Chicago, the more 'soda' there is.

I have recently switched to saying 'soda' more often because I like the sound of it better. A couple of my friends also use the word 'soda'.

Ultimately, it's best to refer to the drink by its brand name. "Grab me a Dew, will ya?"

It's pop or soda pop. Or if it's a cola (Coke, Pepsi, RC), cola is acceptable. Soda is unflavored seltzer water.

[quote="Shyknight";p="560815"]http://www.popvssoda.com/[/quote]Try reading some of the "other" results. Fucking stupid.

Some of them are actual terms used in some places. Some are just idiots trying to be funny. And others are idiots expaining which term they use, why they use it and a brief family history yet still expect it to know what their vote was...
