pop is getting smaller and towards the midwest, eventually it will just be minisoda.
Don’t ya know now
Take my upvote damnit!
As a French, I find pop really endearing and might even include it in my vocabulary.

As inconsequential as it is, it makes me mildly sad to see things like this become more homogeneous.

Maybe the Pop and Soda users can at least band together to get Coke removed forever before returning to their own fight. I don’t know really know which of those two I prefer, but it is insane to refer to a Mountain Dew as a Coke.
Not at all surprised where it’s concentrated though. The poorest, least educated, least healthful States in the country, where corporate branding has superceded basic terminology.
I’ll never forget my horror when I asked for a medium coke and the lady just handed me some random beverage. She didn’t even ask what kind of coke I wanted.
Though nowadays the only coke I drink is la croix.
Would you like a Coke?
hands you an orange crush
I’m from GA, and I never understood people calling all soda a coke. Giving someone a Pepsi when they asked for a coke is enough to start an altercation around here – they are not at all considered interchangeable
I mean, I assume part of that standoffishness is simply local pride since Coca Cola is headquartered there.
It’s pop and I will die on this hill
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. I prefer the word soda. Prepare to die.
Can you show me any other examples of when people use the latter part of the word when shortening it? Or is this somehow the only acceptable one for you?

Soda is carbonated water.
Pop is dad.
It’s petty popular to pop open a pop with your pop. You should pop in some time and give it a try.
Soda is carbonated water made with sodium bicarbonate and citric acid (as opposed to natural carbonated water and modern injected carbonation). Pop is something that goes pop.
Dr Pepper is king either way
The Dr’s less educated, libertine cousin Mr Pibb is even slightly better IMO.
Mr. Pibb, may he rest in peace, is no longer with us… only his edgy gamer brother.
Born in a pop stronghold, and it is still holding. Coke is a brand, not all pop!

sodi pops
But we buried you grandpa. How can you be on lemmy?

I grew up almost exclusively hearing “pop,” and use it in casual situations, but I prefer to use “soda” in public. Asking a server what kind of “pop” they have seems odd to me, but at the same time asking a friend if I can grab a “soda” seems odd as well.
Pass me a fizzy beverage, my good sir.
