Comment on Pop vs Soda vs… Coke? by Diesel

I’m from Southern Maryland, been to FL, RI, PA, CA and others. I’ve always heard soda. I’m in the military and soda is the common word used - people who grew up in other areas that call it pop just call it soda. I agree that there is a perception of a lack of education when calling it pop, as someone will correct you. “Hey when I open this here fizzy drink it goes pop and then fizzies in my mouth making my mouth all tingly, so I calls it pop.” I’ve never seen a movie or show where they call a coke or a root beer a pop. If someone asks for a coke, I always here well we don’t have coke but we got pepsi. If you ask for a coke, you get a coca-cola or a pepsi. I just think pop sounds childish IMHO.

I’ve lived in Boston, SF, L.A., and now MInnesota, and have always used soda, except now in the MN, they say pop. This isgoing to siund strange, but growing upo in Boston inthe 60’s-70’s, I grew up calling it “tonic”. I dont know if it was something in my family, or Italian Amreicans in Boston, but Ive never heard that anywhere else.

Well, I guess I’m the first Bostonian to reply.

When I was a kid everyone called it “tonic”, and many people still do. Now that there are so many from other parts of the country here, I hear that less and less.

Whenever we heard someone say “pop” or “soda pop”, we thought they were hillbillies, the kind of people who called their aunts “ants” (not that there are any hillbillies within about 500 miles of Boston).

Now I’m in a quandary about what to call it. Nothing really sounds right anymore. I usually say “soft drink” today, but it sounds awkward. When a friend of mine says “tonic”, his teenage kids (who’ve never lived anywhere but Boston) groan.

What I find humorous is that if you look at the Iowa-based food store chain Hy-Vee’s packaging, they call it soda.

Take a look at Sprite, Sunkist, Welch’s, Michigan favorite Vernor’s or any other mass produced package… it says “soda.”

Pop is Snap & Crackle’s little yellow hat-wearing buddy. Carbonated beverages are soda.

I love to play online games but I don’t involve in these games deeply. I know I have to live with the realities of life and I can’t escape from them.
