Still like those eggcreams.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-12-2002 06:24 PM                        In Montana, the terms appear to be interchangeable. Hear them both all the time. I hear the slang-ish "sode" (rhymes with road) occasionally too.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spencer Film Handler Posts: 6 From: North Charleston, SC, USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 09-12-2002 06:42 PM                     In W.Va. it was POP and in Jersy it was SODA.. Having lived in both places.... I now live in South Carolina it also called soda in my area...  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-12-2002 06:54 PM                     There is a story running on the AP wire about just this topic, complete with a map of the results. I've been in so many places, I just called it "a beverage" so at least I know why people look at me funny.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 09-12-2002 07:14 PM                    Faucet or tap?

Sometimes I have heard people say "Coke" as a generic name for all the sodas. The term "Pop" is not used in the South. I believe that it is primarily Northern.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I usually only hear soda when refering to fountain pop.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-12-2002 07:34 PM                     Most people around here (Oklahoma) refer to the drinks by their brand names. I have heard "soda", "pop" and "soda-pop" all used from time to time. I remember some radio commercial for some kind of beverage where some people with extreme-exaggerated southern accents were using "sod-ee pop". Can't remember what the hell that drink was, but I do remember someone going, "woooweeee! that shaure doo gotta bite!"  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Sorry, Bob, couldn't resist) Down here we call it Soda. No one here says "pop"  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-12-2002 07:53 PM                       I heard the news story, too. I've often wondered about the breakdown across regions. I'm from KY originally, and it was "pop" there - I grew up saying it. When I lived in Texas and Oklahoma, the terms seemed to be 50-50, as Bobby noted. In IL, Chicago specifically, it was "pop". However, for the past 4 years, I've been in S. FL (little New York) and now MA. Since my wife is from PA, and because our kids are growing up in the East... it's "soda" in our family. Mostly, though, I just say "something to drink". ------------------ Better Projection Pays!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-12-2002 08:00 PM                     It's soda here in Manhattan and soda or coke in Los Angeles. Only the bartender, knows for sure.  |  IP: Logged
