Pop is such an antiquated Midwestern word that I usually only hear it from people who say they worsh themselves in a crick with all their cousins. There's a whole dialect attached to that word.

π I say pop, but also "creek" and "wash"
I have been swimming in a creek with my cousins to get clean enough to be allowed into the house after playing in a pasture
starting to suspect I am antiquated π€
We need to recognize Pop and roll back these Soda colonizer settlements to the 1947 border.
From the 48th parallel to the Rio grande,
and sea to shining sea,
we'll liberate this sweet soda land from pop and coke,
you'll see!
POP AM BYTH!
Interesting that in both cases the regions with greater wealth and power won the majority. Control the spice control the universe π

Patriot Punch!
those aren't based patriots... they're woke coastal elites π
i moved to the upper midwest and started saying pop purely as a gesture against cultural homogenization
We thank you for that.
I can understand calling it βpopβ but calling all soda βcokeβ seems really strange to me but maybe I just havenβt hung around enough southerners?
I agree, coke is either the brand, or the nose candy
My paternal family is all southern. Iβve never heard anyone use coke as a generic term.
My grandma did it. βDo you want a coke?ββSureββWhat would you like, weβve got Dr Pepper and Spriteβ was a normal conversation. Absolutely absurd.
I think we need to compromise and all agree on 'sodypop'
I've noticed this shift personally. Lived my whole life in PNW, grew up calling it pop and thought soda was a weird word.
Now my friends and I all call it soda or sodie but my parents still call it pop.
I love that the Coke blob is most of Georgia with a huge cutout around Atlanta, where Coca-Cola is headquartered
Weβve divided the theater, secured our transcontinental supply lines, and now weβre just mopping up.
We live in a pop zone, I am a proud popper... And yet my partner, born and raised here, calls it soda. We are a family at war.
the linguists are lying about the Coke thing. As someone who has lived in a solid Coke zone according to this map but use soda as the generic term, I have never noticed it or had a misunderstanding based on Coke used in a generic way.
I think whatβs true is that there is not a consensus on the term for soda (youβll see soda, fountain drink, soft drink, canned drink, etc) and that Coke and itβs variants (diet, cherry etc) have a large market share, so people end up using the specific name instead of a generic term.
I checked a non chain restaurant in small town Minnesota, and saw pop on the menu. Same for soda in NJ. I looked at a couple dozen restaurants in MS, GA, TN, and AL and couldnβt find one using Coke to refer to anything other than Coca Cola.
I say sodey pop
As a pop drinker, it never made sense to me that people in the south call all soda "coke".
It's kinda like calling all tissues Kleenex except I don't get asked "what kind of Kleenex would you like" at the cash register
Brand hogs
Iβve literally never encountered this outside Atlanta (one guess as to why).
Smh my head, COASTAL ELITES engaging in COLONIALISM and CULTURAL GENOCIDE
"Pop"? Howsabout I POP you on the nose for not calling it SODA like a real PATRIOT, smartass?
"I'M GONNA POP YOU RIGHT IN THE KISSER FOR THAT!"
"I'M GONNA CONK YOU RIGHT IN THE COKE SNIFFER IF YOU KEEP CALLING EVERYTHING COKE"
Come now 'merica. It's time to admit that these are all "fizzy drinks".
I'm gonna start calling it "bruce" after the Norwegian word
The only thing I call "fizzy drinks" are those carbonated, artificially sweetened fruit flavored, clear drinks.

SODA!
April 2075.
Soda is the master of linguistics.
Only North Dakota stands before it.
Vending machines are now battlefields.
See, Missouri was always terrible
where I come from they call all soda 'pepsi' lol
fucked up
Now we need to eradicate the last vestiges of the use of "on accident" and the positive anymore.
Must have said this on accident because you know people who didn't before will use it against you anymore
ha, just start that sentence with "Must of" to really rustle my jimmies.
Positive anymore: "I eat meat anymore" β "I didn't eat meat before, and (but) I do now"
So the genocide carbonators of sodastream clearly believe the proper term is soda. Apply BDS to your vocabulary and replace it soda with with pop, fizzy drink, ect.
