What do you call fizzy sugar water?

I call everything coke.. I hear it's a Southern thang...

 

Delicious, if it's root beer!

 

Soda, but my wife calls it pop.

 

from the old school always heard " get yourself a pop out of the frig" and it did not mean the small brown bottles of Busch Bavarian beer either.. I tried that stunt, didn't make it to my lips even

 

I call it soda pop.

When I was too young to open the fridge myself, my stepfather gave me beer. For a long time my favorite was Blatz. I just liked the name. And I think it might have been the brand I was raised on.

 

Diet Dr. Pepper is my soda of choice.

I'd much rather have a soda out than a soda at home too. There's something about the fountain fizziness and crushed ice that makes it even better.

Coke is something you snort when you have too much money and not enough brains.

You must be from Massachusetts- they call any kind of soda "tonic". To me. "tonic" is for mixing with gin!

 

If I don't call the drink by name, then I either say soda or soft drink.

That is what I will say if I don't say "coke" or call it by name.

 

Subs, french fries, fizzy sugar water....don't you people eat food? :blink:

 

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that my grandfather, who I ironically have called "Pop" ever since I could talk, calls it soda water....

yes, it is a southern thing, and if you want to get real southern: CoCola!

 

I don't drink sodas (but that's what I call them).

I said soda when I lived back east, and picked up pop in the west. Now you tell me I said soda when I was young, say pop because I'm old? Crap. Busted. <_<

Whatever, Royal Crown Cola ruled.

Nope. Just flavored corn syrup (not even old-fashioned cane sugar any more) and chemical brews that make modified corn starch look like food. Read a food label in the store. It's hard to find anything that actually has food in it any more, except in the produce aisle or the canned and frozen vegetable aisles. A good rule (which I don't follow myself) is never eat anything you cannot pronounce, or anything with more than one kind of sweetener (they use multiple types to disguise the fact that sweeteners compose 3/4 of the total calories of the product).
