Do you say Soda, Pop, or Soder?

[Darknight]

It's softdrink.
Since its not hard and dont get you wasted.

But if I say "soft drink", everyone understands that term, right?

In Australia its just called Soft Drink
Soda is generally an American name for it.

Soda here usually refers to Soda Water (carbonated water). Pop we never use.

It's softdrink.

Soft drink

I always call it by what the drinks called, never use a generic term like "soda"

A non-carbonated non-alcoholic drink is either "juice" or "water".

I usually say soda. I feel uncomfortable with pop or soft drinks.

Soda (central Indiana, most people around here say "pop" though). If you look at the label of most soft drinks, they say "x flavored soda" on them. Why call it anything else?

As for those who say they only say the brand name, how do you ask someone what kind of soda is their favorite? Or at a restaurant, what kinds of soda they serve? I think most people (except people who call everything Coke) call most sodas by their brand names, when they're referring to them individually.

Hey Oates, where in NJ are you? Soda all the way here. Pop makes me laugh though.

 

[foo2thabar]

In general I say 'Soda'.

Otherwise the brand name.

Benglish In A Nutshell. If I'm drunk it's "(color)/(juice name) drank". Ex: Grape fanta = "purple drank". Orange Juice or Orange fanta = "orange drank".

Atlanta, GA

 

[Namepad]

The general term I use as well as most of the people around me call it pop; short for soda pop.

 

[Nick]

I usually say soft drinks; however, I've been known to use the "<color> drank" method on occasion.

 

[Tree]

I've recently started calling anything carbonated Sizzurp.
