>a drink
or whatever i need if I'm being specific

We don't actually call it coke in Georgia. We reap the profits from our aggressive advertising on the other southern retards who can't speak proper english, and call it soda like God intended.

>>17714543
Basically the Yellow part is an advanced first world liberal democracy, the blue part is basically a post-soviet kleptocracy and the green part is a China with racism.

No way that many people call it "pop." It's called soda almost everywhere. The calling soda "coke" thing also doesn't count and is just southerners being cheeky with surveys.

>>17715437
The only place where I saw the word "soft drink" is on legal-speak areas such as the news or scientific studies. Also menus of giant chain restaurants.

Also from old times when some people used to call alcohols hard-drinks (and when a lot of things people drank were alcohols because water was dirty), so they had to differentiate by saying "soft drinks."

>>17714543
"Fizzy drink" or by its name.

Soda. You're inbred if you refer to all carbonated soft drinks as "Coke".

>>17716292
>muh inbreeding is bad XD
Inbreeding leading to a larger likelihood of genetic defects is a myth perpetuated by the jews to speed up the process of eradicating the white race. You're literally retarded if you still buy into this shit in the modern age.

>>17714543
Where I live, soda means plain, sparkling water, like seltzer, or a powder you use for pancakes. Pop means a fizzy sweetened beverage. Coke is a company brand name for a type of cola flavored pop.

If I want e.g. a sprite I say a sprite, but I might say at someone's house, "Do you have any coke?" and it doesn't mean just Coca-Cola it means any brand or flavor of carbonated flavored water
it's like saying band-aid instead of "adhesive bandage" even if I'm talking about store brand band-aids

I lived in the south until I was 10 and everything was coke whether it was coke or not. I moved to NJ and it became soda. I live out west now and I think it's soda out here. No one seems confused when I say it. Man, I do miss Cheerwine but I bet it would be too sweet now since I haven't drank sodas regularly in 20 years.

soda because I'm from somewhere that matters

>>17714543
Soda = civilization
Coke = the south
Pop = flyoverville
If you want good food go to anywhere that calls it "soda", only BBQ places that call it "coke" (or NO) and nowhere that calls it "pop".

>>17714543
calling it anything other than soda is subhuman-tier.

>>17714543
I usually refer it by it's brand. If it's brand doesn't determine the flavour I just call it (flavour) soft drink.

I grew up hearing that, and saying it, and while it does seem retarded, I think it's like xerox and kleenex, to a degree. It just sorta falls apart when you say "I'll get some cokes; what kind do you want?", and the answer might be "Dr. Pepper", "Mtn Dew", etc.

>>17721253
no , it's entirely different because xerox is used as a verb and kleenex's are almost a commodity. coke is one brand of drink among a whole category of them.

it would be like asking you what kind of orange juice you want and you answer with 'cranberry juice'. it's pure retardation

Not at all. I think it's dumb as hell to call the whole category coke, but given the ubiquity of it it at least kind of makes sense. What you're describing doesn't track as an actual example to refute the point.

Just cause one calls itself communist and one hates labor unions people get triggered. Well the South and China are very much alike and what people call themselves politically is a stupid and surface level assessment of how society functions.

Had a friend that called it 'Fizz' we mocked him relentlessly for this.

What do you actually get if they ask what you want to drink and you say "soda/pop/coke"?
Does it require the mandatory follow up "what kind?" so you can say "pepsi" or whatever you prefer rather than say "pepsi" at the first question? Do you say "pop/soda/coke pepsi" instead? Like there would be some kind of confusion if you just said "pepsi" without the soft drink category added?

>>17714555
Weird, I lived in Georgia for 6 years and no matter where I went, if you asked for a coke at a fast food place they person would respond "What kind?" because they thought you meant any kind of soda.

The "Coke" thing is a meme that people who arent actually from the south propagate. Like if someone from NC wants a Cheerwine, they dont ask for a Coke, then get confused when the waitress doesnt bring a Cheerwine.

I unfortunately live in Seattle, and I've never heard anyone call it pop here. Maybe they call it that in eastern Washington, but definitely not in Seattle.

>>17714543
Nobody in the south calls soda a coke. Nobody calls it pop. The map lied to us.

>>17737644
They call it pop in West Virginia

>Coca (coke) refers to coca leaves, and cola refers to kola nuts, two of the original ingredients of coca-cola; not the fact that it's carbonated
>Refers to all carbonated sweet drinks as coke
Absolute fucking retards. What do you say when they say 'no, but we have fanta?' 'w-well, coke includes fanta...'

Yes we do you carpetbagger

>>17737913
That doesn't make any sense. Your scenario wouldn't be confusing at all. How often do you go into a place, ask for soda (specifically the generic term) and get mad when they misunderstand which one you want? Alternatively, how often do you go into a place, ask for soda (specifically the generic term) and care at all when they tell you which ones they do and don't have? Besides, southerners are an endangered species now, so we're used to dealing with carpetbaggers/spics/califags/foreignors that don't know what we're talking about, and we just roll with it. How about you shut the fuck up and leave us alone.

I'm from the South, and the only time I've heard someone call soft drinks "coke" generically would be in the context of asking someone if he wants a coke to drink at a social gathering.
>"Hey buddy, you look thirsty. We have coke in the fridge if you want some."
>"Thanks. Do you have Sprite?"
People do this because they just assume everyone likes Coca-Cola by default. If you have Sprite or Dr. Pepper on hand for a party, then you're obviously going to have Coca-Cola as well. If you go to a restaurant, the menu will always say "soft drinks" or "fountain drinks." If you go to a restaurant that only serves Pepsi, the waiter will tell you that they don't serve coke if you ask for it. If you go to a grocery store, the signs will always say "soft drinks" or "soda." The "coke=every soft drink" thing is overblown by people who don't live here.

>>17716830
>If I want e.g. a sprite I say a sprite, but I might say at someone's house, "Do you have any coke?" and it doesn't mean just Coca-Cola it means any brand or flavor of carbonated flavored water
>it's like saying band-aid instead of "adhesive bandage" even if I'm talking about store brand band-aids
This. If I go to the grocery store, I might ask the store attendant to direct me to the aisle with the coke, since obviously any brand of soft drink I could want is going to be right next to Coca-Cola. It's the same as asking the attendant to point me to the the Kleenex even if I actually buy Puffs or the store brand.

>>17738439
You're a carpetbagger pretending you're a local. Nigger.

>>17738439
>If you go to a grocery store, the signs will always say "soft drinks" or "soda."
Bro corporations don't exactly typically represent the local population...

>>17738502
Nope. I have lived my entire life in Tennessee. If I asked for a coke and somebody handed me Pepsi, I'd look at him like he's a retard. Keep seething nigger.
>>17738505
Locally-owned grocery stores still exist, you know.

Wait, there's people that call all soda coke?

>>17724015
Bullshit, I've lived in the green part my whole life and have never once heard coke used as a general term for soft drinks. Here it is called soda or soft drink.

>>17725102
you should know how uncommon it is for people to refer to parts of their state as a direction, but western kentucky here and i get it.

And now we see the typical Southernism of becoming irrationally angry because someone said you did something you literally did.

>>17738390
I'm not saying you are completely incorrect. Just perhaps it's not as common as the claim suggests. Maybe one day I'll hear enough people in Alabama call any soda, "coke", for it to leave a lasting impression on me like it has you. It's just been 32 years.
>>17738439
My experience as well.

>>17714543
usually I call it soda when referring to the drink, its pop cans. soda cans just sounds weird to me. Unless the drink is actually a coke or at least a cola you're idiot if you call it that. Dr Pepper, and Pepsi are both colas I never call them coke.

>>17714543
The use of the word Pop is almost entirely localized in the area touching lake Michigan. This map is stupid as fuck.

Bo's in da house!

>nobody is pissed that I compared the midwest to Belarus
Because you're right. The Midwest is a distorted reflection of post soviet states.

I'd say Ukraine=Michigan, Iowa=Belarus, Minnesota is the Baltics and Ohio is the Balkans but with less natural beauty.

Soda, pop can work but coke is just genericized smoothbrain babble.

WTF IS THIS SHIT BEBERAGE CALLED SODA. this is the true soda

It's pop, you fucking idiots.

>>17714543
MFW when all these philistines don’t realise it’s pronounced ‘soft drink’.

>root beer
In the rest of the world they use the same flavour for mouthwash. I get why Americans like it, but it just feels weird swallowing something you've been trained from childhood to spit in the sink.

>liberals adopt the most sophisticated name because they are hawty twats

Soft drinks are just drinks with sweeteners and flavoring, but no alcohol.
What we're talking about is specifically the carbonated variety.

If you ask for a soda they any reasonable person will obviously ask you to be more specific.
If you ask for a coke any reasonable person will think you want a coke, and give you a coke. It's truly schizophrenic to say something other than what you meant, and expect the other people to know you've done this.

Water isn't a soft drink.
Neither is juice.

They have to be mixed with sweeteners first.

The problem with coke is it sounds retarded, the problem with pop is it sounds gay, and the problem with soda is it has 2 syllables. So for me the winner is coke
