as a non-american, the only term i’ll ever accept is “sodipop”
Excuse me, but the correct term is “sarsaparilly”.

That is amazing.
The rest of the world: Order what the fuck you actually want instead of adding a layer of needless obfuscation.
poor autistic bartenders in the US
St. Louis in 1947, We’re Different from CHICAGO we’re calling it SODA!
obamna
SODAAAA!!!
where’s soda pop
thanks obummer
Calling it soda, good. Calling it pop, fine. Calling every soft drink a coke, fuck off.
Bless your heart.
Well I declare
so this
no u
Get this, in Scotland, pretty much any liquid is called juice.
Still makes more sense than calling Sprite “coke”.
Although I’ve always referred to buckfast as “the devil’s ribeana”. Although I do admit that the standard name is “wreck the hoose juice”.
I gotta put juice in my car, it’s on empty

What the hell was that
This is storytelling, this is Cosby comedy, this isn’t “bing bing bing,” it’s going to require a little bit of your attention.
Good.
I had friends from the south and would ask me if I wanted a coke, but would bring everything but a coke.
And we still say pop in the PNW.
From Seattle. Its closer to 50/50 Pop/Soda. When you say coke, its Coca Cola specifically.
Also from Seattle, never heard someone say Pop in my life.
I hear it from places on the Eastside.
I’m in the Portland metro area. Only my grandma says pop. Everyone else I know says soda
if you look closely there is a very tiny dot in the pnw where one person unironcially calls is “sodey”
Shm.Smh. The fucking people who call all sodas “coke”.Them: What kind of Ford do you drive? Me: a Chevy.
It’s from Coca-Cola (headquartered in Atlanta) having total dominance of the south for a long time.
brawndo irl
It’s got what y’all crave
Yes, it’s got coke
Cocaine specifically
What does “shm” mean? I’m currently only reading it as an onomatopoeia and I don’t think that’s right.
Likely a typo for smh, which essentially means “shaking my head”.
Huh, and here I thought “smh” was short for something like “*so much hate”. That makes more sense.
Wonder what other abbreviations, on the Internet or elsewhere, go completely and blissfully misinterpreted by folks for years.
See also My Names Is Earl. “She was Chinese… Japanese, specifically.”
I could say the same thing about people calling all soft drinks “soda”
“soda” is not also a specific drink though
The only time people say “soda” where I am, is when referring to soda water, which is a specific drink. (And imo a terrible one)
Edit: It’s just an interesting difference in language, I’m not making an argument about what’s right…
Yeah that’s why we just say soda water.
If only there was a way to specify between a “soda” and a “soda water”
Except soda water occurs in a naturally carbonated form. It’s existed for a lot longer, I think it kinda gets the right to be referred to as just “soda”.
Agreed, but we say pop around here.
Dude it makes perfect sense.
The “so” is the first two letters from the word and the “d” is the third letter. And the “a” is obviously because……
I’M SHOOK
You’ve changed my whole world
Wait, what?
Soft drink a
At least it’s based on “soda pop”.
The south: all soft drinks are Coca-Cola. We don’t have anything else.
