What do you call carbonated drinks?

[ryan.riverside]

What do you call the bubbly stuff made by Coca-cola and Pepsi Co.?

[kentieness]

Soft drink.

I think this topic was done before, but meh.

For me, it's coke. I don't care what anyone else says, saying soda or any other name just sounds weird.

[Zero!]

Soda. Pop or Soda Pop sounds funny, and when I ask for coke I feel like a crack addict |D;;

[shapu]

Soda, because that's what it is.

[stinkyllama]

I've said Pop most of my life since I grew up in the Midwest but have switched to Soda since my California friends like to tease me about it.

[Kugetsu]

Soda, usually. Then again, "Soda Water" was coined before any of the other terms were ever used.

The Coke dealie sort of annoys me, because Coke is a type of soda/pop/soft drink/carbonated beverage not the actual name for it (and it wasn't even nearly the first). *tries to understand how people can order Root Beer, but call it Coke.*

I've always said soda, I think most people in PA do.

For me, it's coke. I don't care what anyone else says, saying soda or any other name just sounds weird.

Out of curiousity, what do you call lemon-lime or orange soda, since they aren't made with coke syrup?

Where I live it's called juice, although where I used to live (and my parents still do) they call it ginger - So none of the above!

[DM was on fire!]

Soft drink.

What she said, unless it has it's own name (IE: Coke, Pepsi, Tab, Fresca, Sprite, ect.).

I call it by the product's name regardless of product and flavor

Ah yes! Good old Scotland! Although for me, Ginger usually referred to 'Irn-Bru' because of it's colour.

Almost all of them interchangeably, really. According to the map that Christopher posted, my area's a bastion of coke in a sea of pop.

Soda, because that's what it is.

I disagree. I call it pop, but it would be wrong to say it's pop simply because that's what it is. Soda is what you like to call it, but it has many other names. Soda, from what I can remember, is an American term for a fizzy drink. It's a regional thing.

Answer is in the um...mild debate XD
