“It’s called POP, not SODA.” Dear entire Midwest, I would love that shirt for Christmas. Big hugs, Kristy.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

No, it’s soft drink
fizzy drink! actually, my favourite is the way some Scots still call all soda/pop/fizzy drinks ‘ginger’.
Rehashing from about 10 years ago, but it’s really called “coke” – and then if you want to know if it’s diet or lemon lime or some other variety, you ask “do you wanna a coke? what kind?”
As a mid-Atlantic transplant to the Pac NW-pop-land, I have to explain this all the time. 😉
Sometimes im called POP usually by Ant or Aim, funny you never do.
What Tricia said. All non-alcoholic carbonated beverages are “cokes”.
However, I always thought it was a Deep South (US) thing, I didn’t know they also used that terminology in the mid-Atlantic states.
