I'm not sure if this has been asked here or not, but I don't see a thread.

What do you call carbonated beverages? Coke? Pop? Cola? Soda? etc.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To me, it's a Coke. Most of them, anyways. A lot of people say that it's ignorant because Coke is not all carbonated beverages, but it's not that I don't know the difference, it's just what I'm used to saying. Lots of people in the American South grew up with this.

coke, is coke to me. i usually call them by what they are... like sprite. 7-up. etc..
other than that, soda.

I usually call them by their names as well. And I refer to carbonated water as soda. I think that's just how it's done where I'm from. Most of the people I know do it the same way.

Fizzy!
Unless I call them by their names.

I call them "pop"

By their brand name. However, anything that distinctly tastes like Coke (Pepsi, Sam's Club, anything generic), is Coke. Same with all of the other bigger brand names (Sprite, Dr. Pepper, etc.)

"A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance".- T.S. Eliot

I sometimes call them by their names, I usually just call them "Fizzy Pop".
Anything that tastes like coke is coke, anything that tastes like lemonade is lemonade to me.

by their names

Probably Cola or Lemonade.

I just call them by their names or just pop.
