K-Soda Demon Hunters.
I know more than one person that calls it “sodee pops”
Tell them I hate them
It’s just a regional dialect thing. Where I grew up, we called it “coke,” even if it was a Dr. Pepper. That’s the only one that is truly irredeemably wrong.
I had to train myself to call them something else. (I chose “sodas” because that was the only alternative I knew.)
Carolinas?
Edit: maybe Georgia?
Coke makes more sense than pop, since coca cola was literally named after the term.
I thought it was named after the coca in it
I think that’s what their saying, since coke/cocaine and coke/coca cola are both named coke because of the same chemical.
I dunno which came first tho, far as I can tell cocaine in both drug and drink form started getting called coke around 1900-1910. The coca-cola company didn’t like the nickname, they advertised you saying the name in full, they didn’t actually copyright “coke” for coca-cola it till the 1940’s.
I would also like them to know that I hate them
And then there’s the weirdos who call everything Coke.
I’ll die on this hill - no one calls everything Coke and those who claim so haven’t been in the South especially the area around Atlanta. “Coke” is used as an example - for instance, “Hey, can I get you anything? Coke, beer, water, or something?” Yes, they mean they have soda one of which is coke. No one would say, “hey, can you get me a coke” and mean Sprite / etc. At most, they may use it to mean coca-cola products but usually you’ll get a list of which sodas they have and are offering
Who would win: people who call every soda “Coke” or moms who call every console “Nintendo”?
I’ll accept either “soda” or “pop”, but I will never accept those “everything is a coke” freaks
I grew up in a “pop” part of the country. Then moved to a “soda” part of the country for a while and not only did I change my word usage, but I decided I liked “soda” better because it was a more accurate description of the beverage.
I have since moved back to my old “pop” area and I still use “soda” and I get weird looks. One of my friends even called me a traitor.
Modern carbonated beverages do not use soda, and they haven’t since the 1800s.
“Pop” is from the sound you get when opening a bottle.
I’d say one is much more applicable than the other.
As a can drinker, that’s the reason I call them “Crrrsppppclick glug glug glug”.
You’re my soda pop
My little soda pop
my little popinski
