Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I think by number in the states it's Coke > Pop > soda > softdrink > tonic
also how is this true

coke is mostly in the south
pop only in ontario
no one calls it anything else
but even then soda would be used as like, a more "scientific" or "technical" name
pop meanwhile would be not used because it is a ridiculous name
We must all only refer to it as sodapop
from now on
soda is definitely number 1
well the people who say coke will also say soda though
but people who say soda will not use coke as a general term usually
This is the real map of what is considered the south
well according to this map pop is just a canadian virus
legitimately, the canadian chart is just soda and pop
and most of the country is pop
no one would ever call it coke
eventually coke and pop will meet at the halfway point of N.A.
and soda will have been consumed
war on two fronts is hard after all
soda is a reasonable term that can be used both generally and colloquially
coke and pop work mainly only colloquially
which coke speakers recognize so they will often use soda
meanwhile pop speakers are just stupid and will try to use pop for both
so poppers are clearly the losers
>pop only works colloquially
except its the majority use
everywhere
and soda and pop are both derived from sodapop
yes everywhere as defined by pikachu
making them equally reasonable
you are just insane
if you think soda is any more reasonable than pop
soda is a better term because 'soda' is mostly unique to the soft drink, while 'pop' is used for many other things and its common usage as a verb also damages its legitimacy as a proper noun
its apparent bloodline is polluted
Replying to reorruatrnte #toughbrook soda is a reasonable term that can be used both generally and colloquially coke and pop work mainly only colloquially which coke speakers recognize so they will often use soda meanwhile pop speakers are just stupid and will try to use pop for both
agreed
what else is pop used for in relation to drinks/food
nothing
if I don't say coke, I'll say soda
I think it would be unambiguous to say "hand me a pop" and "hand me a soda"
the only one of the three that is ambiguous is coke
the way people actually use coke is almost never ambiguous though
well it's not any more ambiguous
how do people use coke
because no one says "hand me a pop"
it's like
an abstraction
I am asked "would you like a pop"
and then the follow up question if yes is "what kind"
yeah and you'd reply the name of the drink
No, I reply yes, then they tell me the options they have
well maybe
same exact process would happen if we replace pop with soda
yeah
they are equally reasonable terms
I just think that scenario is way less common than ordering at a resturant/bar
if you mostly go out to restaurants, sure spooky
where coke makes perfect sense
I don't think most people do that
well how many types of coke do you have in your house?
at least not in canada
most would have what, 1-2
just regular coke
