Controlled Chaos Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 If I'm offering it to someone...I say pop. You want a can of pop? You want a glass of pop? If I'm ordering at a restuarant or something I always say coke and by coke I don't mean coca cola I just mean coke. Then they almost always say...is Pepsi ok??

Actually, that's exactly how I do it too. That would classify as calling it pop though, because at least in my case i'm offering a drink to somebody or hanging out with people and being offered a pop more often than I am ordering it at a restaurant.

kjshoe04 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I used to say pop, now I say soda. Not sure why, all my friends call it pop. I just like the way soda sounds more than pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 15, 2008 -> 02:57 PM) meh, there are places that mess up the fountain mix so bad that the drink is unrecognizable. Glass bottles are the best I agree with that. And I nearly got laughed out of the state of Florida when i came down here calling pop pop like the Good Lord intended so I tend to just call a Coke Coke now.

Anyways, it's fine if you think that. Your completely wrong and misinformed, but we all have things which we are wrong about. Yep and no, it's soda.

MEANS Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 i'm originally from Easton, PA (which borders NJ) and I still remember being at a BMX race when I was seven in Pittsburgh and asking for a soda, they said "ya want Pop?" i was like huh? no i want a soda. pretty strange as you can see from the map that PA is divided pretty much down the middle. Now I live in Indianapolis and I hear "pop" a lot out here and it makes me cringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer tamarindo but my family usually buys both the mandarina and tararindo ones. Dr. Pepper, that spicy cola product, should have been listed. For soda, I drink Coke.

EvilMonkey Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Gotta be pop. Although as a kid, when I got back from summers by Carbondale, I was calling it sodie with a slight southern twang for a few weeks. And Diet pepsi is my choice. I used to drink the Diet Pepsi Twist with the lemon, until they stopped making it and instead went to lime. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooftop Shots Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 15, 2008 -> 12:43 PM) Glass bottle might actually be the best, but I have no idea where to find it. As far as glass bottles go, there are quite a few stores in latino neighborhoods that carry the 16 ounce sizes of coke and pepsi. A frend said that here it's made with corn syrup as the sugar source, whereas the latnno stores have it shipped in from Mexco where real sugar is used, like coke used to be made. Can't verify these claims. It's just what someone told me. Also, Sam's Club has cases of the little glass 12 ounce bottles of coke only.

Jack Parkman Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I call it pop, and I drink Coke. I also have preferential treatment for other pop. I like Barq's for can root beer. I'd rather drink Goose Island or Roundhouse, but it costs too much to drink on a regular basis. I can't stand A&W or Mug. I really like Jones as well, but again it is very expensive. On the Jarritos topic, I really like the guava, pineapple and mandarin orange flavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
