http://strawpoll.me/6171678/
It's Thursday, everyone. Time for this thread again.
carbonated beverage
I've never actually heard anyone use "coke" as a general term for soda. General term for colas, sure.
soda 70% of the time
soda pop 30% of the time.
from utah.
Delicious nectar of Monsanto
>>7135623
It is a south thing. Especially Georgia.
I call a soft drink "soda"
I call a cola "coke"
I am from Atlanta, Georgia.
>>7135648
Well because they invented it so, it's a given they would use the brand as a generic term.
>>7135652
>I am from Atlanta, Georgia.
sorry
>>7135648
I'm from the south though....the coke thing eludes me completely.
>>7135653
That's fucking retarded, even if coke was invented there.
>>7135604
I've only ever heard one person call soda anything other than soda, and he called it pop, that map is a lie.

Forgot teh link,im low on hfcs
>>7135609
this is the first time i've seen this poll
>>7135604
I call anything like Coca-cola, "coke" (pepsi, rc, etc.)
And every other beverage by it's brand name. If I had to say anything, I guess it would be soda. But I'd never say "Hey, can I have a soda?" because that lacks detail...
>>7135671
Maybe if you are black. I don't really feel like getting mugged every day.
>>7135604
If you can't tell the difference between coke and every other drink, what are you doing on this board? Can you not tell the difference between lemon and lime? Turkey and Chicken? Fish and Shrimp?
Illinois.
Pop.
>>7135690
Anon please, I'm sorry your family vacation didn't go well, but don't blame the city.
>>7135604
I'm from Idaho and we say soda
>>7135604
This has always confused me, I usually call the drinks by their name themselves.
If I ever call them as a collective drink I just say carbonated beverage.
>>7135763
>This has always confused me, I usually call the drinks by their name themselves.
Literally everyone does.
This is why the whole "lol they call everything coke? how do they know what people want?" is silly.
These are just names people give when they're talking about soda in general, if you're going to order you naturally say what you want.
I'm from the UK, we call it semen over here
Ohiofag here, we call it pop here in flyoverland. I've always called it "soda pop" though.
I am from PA.
Everyone around here (center state) says soda. I know weirdo Pittsburgians say pop, but I refuse to believe more people say pop over soda.
>tfw upstate NY
>tfw you're lumped with the downstaters who call it "soda"
Pop.
Better map.
Should have made two polls, OP; one for Amerifats, and one for non-Amerifats. You're just going to end up with skewed results.
>>7135811
I moved from east of the Appalachians to Pgh and I went from saying soda to saying pop in less than 3 months. Idk what the fuck happened. I hate saying pop, but it stuck with me. It sucks.
>>7135820
you sound like a faggoty ass long island faggot. go back to jersey
>>7135835
Long Island is downstate.
In Australia Coke is a general catch-all for colas or other soft drinks. But you also hear fizzy, cordial, lemonade/sprite etc
>>7135829
most of the other is statistic vandalism FYI, I've seen the source

Didn't start calling it Coke until I discovered it triggered non-Southeners. Always grew up calling it soda, now I call it Coke.
Grew up in MO, can confirm they call it soda 99% of the time. Excluding a decent chunk of KCfags.
Every time I see these survey maps I can never figure out why they share the same word as the coasts and not their surroundings.
>>7135892
>i changed a significant portion of my dialect solely to become less likable
uh huh...
>Live in Tennessee.
>Never heard anybody call it coke.
>Generic term is soda.
>Every map shows the state heavily for coke.
Maybe it's an older person thing. A lot of younger people, especially in the cities, have lost the Southern accent along with most of its mannerisms.
>all those southern states that refer to all types of soda as "coke"
>>7135604
fizzy drinks
sugar water
>>7135991
it's the only good soda, anon
>>7136004
and yet they have sodas that aren't coke
>>7135604
I live in PA, near Philly, and everyone I know says soda.
I think it's a region thing. People from Pittsburgh probably say pop, while near Philly they say soda. Western and Eastern PA may as well be two different states.
>>7135954
I'm younger and in TN and I still call it coke.
>>7136008
>they have sodas that aren't coke
Blasphemy!
>Washington
>pop
I'm from Washington and I've never known a single person who called it pop.
Iowa here, I call it pop. I don't know why the Hell you would refer to all pop as coke though, that is just confusing
>>7136027
Washington here as well. Me neither. What the fuck?
>>7135604
I live in KY, we call it pop around here
>>7136591
>I live in KY
I'm so sorry
>>7135604

>>7135703
Oh gosh, I am so sorry your family has to live with a retard, perhaps we can send them a gift basket of adult diapers so you will be less of a burden?
>>7135652
>I am from Atlanta, Georgia.
My condolences.
>visiting there about a decade and a half ago because of a working vacation for Dad
>brother and I troll everyone by constantly asking for Pepsi-brand products, knowing full well we were in the birthplace of Coke
>parents not amused in the least, tell us to stop acting like idiots
>threatened to sue one spot because the server went full retard and actually slapped my brother who was all of ten years old for asking for a Pepsi
>got entire meal for free
>another place threatened to kick us out
Had we had currently technology back then (this was well before most social media in general, for example), I'm pretty sure the slap would've gone viral. Also, pretty sure the server was immediately fired.
I have to say that giant room of "Coke products from around the world" thing was awesome. Why don't American companies bring international flavors over here?
I like how they colored in the subhuman states yellow so you know to avoid them
It's soda. "Coke" is a shortened term for the specific brand "Coca-Cola", and "pop" is a slang term for father.
>>7135682
Welcome to 4chan. Here's your complimentary /ck/ meal.

Soda. Alabama.
Fizzy drinks
Soft drinks
>>7135604
In the heart of "pop" country here. Everyone says "soda." Saying "pop" is a complete myth.
>>7135604
It's 50/50 in Wisconsin for pop and soda.
Calling every fizzy drink coke is just plain retarded.
>>7135796
I dont know what it is about NM but we call all sodas "coke", all tissue "kleenex", crayons "crayolas" etc. *shrugs*

All the natives say pop. It's even printed on local stores' advertising banners / signs.

Everyone I know calls it soda. Popfags are dumb and cokefags are probably dumb black folk
>>7136836
No thanks, I already have a burger and fries
I call it "soda pop" just to be antiquated about it.

I'm from Ohio, and everyone makes such a big deal about calling it pop. It's incredibly annoying considering the fact I call it soda or pop (because it's the same fucking thing) and everyone has to point out that Ohio calls it pop and act like it is their thing and they are right about it. So much that if someone calls it soda, they get triggered and correct them that it is called pop.
What I don't get is their argument for it. I understand that people who call it soda can argue that pop is an onomanpea and doesn't serve as a proper word for the drink, but when retarded Ohioans try to correct people, they have nothing to back up why it should be called pop other than "that's what we call it". Apparently in their terms "soda" isn't a word and serves no definition. It really fucking stupid. I hate how everyone in Ohio thinks everything about hem is special.
>>7135624
Also from Utah.
I have yet to hear anybody call it pop
>>7136613
>things that never happened
1/10 for getting me to respond

Soda pop is the whole name. Call it what you want.
>not calling them sodie pops
>>7137398
>everyone has to point out that Ohio calls it pop and act like it is their thing and they are right about it
No surprise there, these are the fags that make sure everyone knows about the article in front of their shitty state uni.
>>7137454
Pretty much, yup.
NC here, the folk around here call Goka Gola fugging "Co-Coler" lol XD
I call it the title on the product.
>>7137802
>Hand me a title on the product, will you?
That's rather odd.
From Texas.
I grew up using coke as a catch all term for carbonated soft drinks, but around high school I consciously decided to stop doing that and call them soda because calling Dr. Pepper and Pepsi 'coke' just started to seem retarded to me.
In retrospect, it's not that weird. Coca-cola was invented in Georgia, and dominated the southern market so much that it was considered an iconic southern beverage for decades. It's not that strange that it became a proprietary eponym like kleenex, jacuzzi, rollerblade, etc.
>>7136608
Hey I hate black people and Atlanta, Georgia just as much as the next guy but that was just uncalled for.
>>7135676
Here in Waukesha County/Milwaukee area I've never ever heard someone say pop, is it different elsewhere?
I could picture anywhere that isn't SE WI saying it (honestly we're just an extension of fucking Illinois, I love everywhere else though) but here I'd just look at someone blankly if they said it.
>>7136802
I think what you mean is "Literally the most important states" AKA the only parts of the country that matter.
fizzy drinks
>>7136027
>>7136579
It varies heavily by county, other parts of the state refer to it differently.
>>7139920
That would be California, Alaska and Wyoming then.
>>7135604
>http://strawpoll.me/6171678/

I live in Florida so we say soda like any civilized people would. I was once at a barbecue spot in inland FL where it actually feels pretty country. One of my friends asked for a Sprite and after a 2 minute exchange with the waitress, she finally figured out what he wanted was a "white coke"
