We mostly call it coke or soda sometimes.

Pop vs soda is whatever.

Coke though, like, wut? Why the hell would I say I wanted Coke if I wanted Mt. Dew? I just don't get in what context it'd ever make sense to refer to all soft drinks as Coke.

The closest I'll ever do that is asking a restaurant if they have coke or pepsi rather than asking them what soft drinks they have, and then ordering mountain dew if they respond pepsi. That's not because I consider Mountain Dew to be Pepsi, it's just that I know any restaurant that has pepsi is also going to have Mountain Dew.

^ cuz people only ever want coke LOL

Except coke isn't that overwhelmingly popular even.

It amounts to roughly 42% of all soft drink consumption. It is the best selling soft drinks, Pepsi is only 30%, and Mountain Dew is the top non-cola at 7%, but it's not like Coke has a 80-90% market dominance.

We're taking the south' racist past away, we don't need to take their goofy names for soda too.

I hate it when i ask for coke and the waiter brings me pepsi.

michigan is pop

"I hate it when i ask for coke and the waiter brings me pepsi."

Then stop ordering coke at places that don't sell coke products.

Or is too hard to be responsible for yourself and ask whether they have coke or pepsi?

Isn't it too beautiful to make assumptions without knowing shit?

Oh oh indeed

Why is this such a huge argument anyway?

pffft i don't know, why do the USAians have 3 different names for soft drinks

Should be renamed to "Divided States of America".

Noone is arguing, Cata. But "coke" is just dumb.

Now not to be U.S.-Americentric, in East Slav the "debate" is вода (water) against газировка (gassed water). Какое слово вы применяйте?

(gassed water)

Didnt know they hate water that much that they send it to the KZ.

by the way, when I said juice I meant that for the east of scotland. in the wild west, they call it ginger.

I saw a few gingers in Morocco, it was pretty weird to see them there.

I saw gingers sitting on the top of a tree.

I saw a boy who had red hair. It was so sad.
