Hi, This week @ FIRST PLACE, we have staff from all around the country here. And we have realized that we call “Soda” all different names. And we where wondering what it is actually called!
Please help us settle this dispute!
i have traveled the country and have relatives all over the place and i have heard them all except tonic in reference to soda so i voted soda because that is what i call it
soda, duh
This is already being discussed in another thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=89584#post89584) that you started! Oi.
I sit down, I type in www.chiefdelphi.com. I glance to my right. I see a new series of topics from the last time I checked the site. I get excited. I read. I learn.
It’s the same question asked in 6 different ways.
I cry.
What about ham sandwiches?
(I didn’t vote, I call it Coke, no matter if it’s Pepsi)
we refer to it as “a carbonated type beverage” but i think thats just a U Tulsa/31 thing, as we have a love for frozen carbonated beverage

For some reason it has to do with the temperature of the region. In warm regions (like Florida) it’s called coke–no matter what it is. In temperate climates–soda, and in the cold, like here in Minnesota, it’s pop. I have never heard tonic from somebody less than 90 years old.
I’m with Foto on this one. No matter what the brand (Coca-Cola, Pepsi-cola, RC cola, etc.) it’s always called a “coke.”
pop is so much better than soda, you can’t even fight that

I agree with you Jim…Its Coke no matter what type of soda it is…
I used to live in California, and there, we all called it “soda.” Then, I moved to Michigan, where it’s called “pop.” I thought it was the weirdest thing for a long time, and still called it soda, but I’ve lived in Michigan so long now that I call it pop most of the time. Occasionally, I still find myself reverting to “soda”, but it doesn’t happen often.
vi VS emacs
perl VS python
linux VS windows
and now, the infamous
soda VS pop
coming tomorrow: red VS blue, and silverware VS fingers
On a more serious note: /me cries with Michael Krass
I can’t be the only one noticing the declining quality of posts at chief delphi. Why, I don’t think I’d even be surprised if I really saw a “do you like RED or BLUE better” thread anymore. Granted this is the off season, and this is the chit chat forum, but I just thought I’d say that I know of at least one person who has stopped reading the forums due to the (and I quote) “nonsense.”
Just something to think about … (i’m not singling out this thread or anyone who posted in it, i don’t mean to offend anyone)

You gotta remember, too, it’s the “off-season.” There just isn’t as much to talk about. A lot of the major topics have been beaten into the ground over the past few months, and so, we are left with threads about soda vs pop, Pepsi Blue, and caffeine. Plus, it’s the Chit-Chat section. It’s been like this (somewhat).
its gotta be soda really…
It’s definatley called soda, hence the title of the thread.

It’s soda.
Foolish northerners, when will they ever learn?
i’m from the north. hell, i’m from the middle of nowhere north (Woodstock, NY). now i’m on LI (moved when i was about 7 or so). i’ve called soda soda since i started drinking it. so, it’s not the silly northerners, it the silly mid-west people.
