Pop

[*julez* 124]

If I were at a party at your house, and you asked me what I'd like to drink and I, in turn, ask you what kind of pop you have, would you know what I was referring to?

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

I am from Detroit, so yes.

[Jenn! 918]

Of course!

But I'd know you're not originally from around here!

Yeah... soda pop! i.e. Coke or something like it!

Yes

[Dr. Obvious 49]

Yep.

I think that most people from the US would know what I meant, but another VJer disagreed with me, so it really piqued my curiosity to try to find out if pop is as well-known as I think it is.

[Bootylicious!! 2]

Yep, sure would.

[pedroh 21]

It is...

Now tell us who it was and we'll gang up on them!!!

Me too but I was originally brought up in NJ and later in Pennsylvania...it took me years to get the whole pop thing...

Not necessary. I was really just curious since I've been to a fair few states in the US and have always been understood when I ask about pop.

I'd know what you were talking about but most people around here call everything coke

my hubby used to look at me funny when I said pop.. but somewhere down the line I started calling it soda...

I guess it is easy to do when that is what you hear it called all the time... *shrugs*

It used to be a pretty regional thing...in the mid-west they'd say "pop" and in the South they'd say "coke," and everywhere else they'd say soda. When I was a kid, we moved from Florida to Colorado and I got the strangest looks when I said "pop." Now I think most everyone everywhere would know what you're talking about.

Here's a cool "Soda vs Pop" map:
