I don't mind skim milk at all, yet my mother seems to dislike it.

I never really liked the taste of coffee much. I think I may have tried it like once or twice and disliked it.

The only times i've ever had those energy drinks are maybe a few times when I wanted to get some important work done for college in the past, in fact i've had one sitting in the mini-fridge in my dorm since January that I haven't even opened yet.

Wait do energy drinks expire cause you should probably drink that soon hahaha.

I've only recently started getting into energy drinks and some are just so sour tasting to me. Like I had this Monster Coffee+ Energy drink combo and it was so God awful that I tossed it out after the first few sips.

Whenever I'd drink one of those big twist-top Monsters it'd pretty much keep me up for a good 10 hours, and only if I drank it past maybe 5 it'd cut into my sleep. They tasted really good in a unique way, too. :3

Most people in Canada use the term "pop", but I know that when I watch American networks, people use the term "soda".
Yeah, I always thought it was called soda by North Americans.

My life is literally a lie ;-;

It's a big debate in the US. In the Midwest where I am it's mostly pop, but on the coasts it's soda, and - get this- in the Deep South, it's coke. No matter what. Conversations go like:

"What would you like to drink?"
"I'd like a coke."
"What kind of coke?"
"Sprite, please."

I would pay good money to see pop v soda being discussed in the next presidential debate.

I'm from the Midwest and most people here say "soda". Though I think it depends on what part of the Midwest you're from. Like I'm in the east part of Missouri and most people use soda.

Amusing, eastern Missouri is the exception to the rule:



Your experience isn't really representative of the Midwest because weirdly enough you're in the one Midwest spot that isn't overwhelmingly pop.

The big debate over pop vs soda in the US really confuses me because here in Canada, countrywide we pretty much all call it "pop". And then in the US even across county borders it's sometimes completely different.

I'm really surprised at the variance in my region (mid-Atlantic coastal Virginia). That's where it almost looks like a county-by-county basis, though Hampton Roads as a whole seems to call it soda.

I don't understand. I thought coke is pretty universal for Coca-Cola.

Nope, that's how we've always done it. Someone will say "Go get me a coke," and be referring to Dr. Pepper. I can't get into saying Pop, though. :\
I occasionally say soda, though.

It sounds really weird to me too, but it's not like I don't use brand names for some items, like Kleenex and whatnot.

Then again, if someone brings me a no-name brand tissue instead of a Kleenex, I probably wouldn't notice whereas if someone brought me anything other than Coca-Cola when I mentioned Coke, I'd be mad. :(

The one I'm dying to know about is all those one-county areas where it's 80-100% "other". What other words are there? Fizzy drink? Nose-hurter? The Devil's Brew?

Why? D: The terms are interchangeable. I don't know why it'd be a big deal to call it otherwise XD

Funny how we're all debating about the nomenclature of a soft drink when there are much bigger problems in the world

Like how seemingly every other country calls it something around "ananas" while the Brits decided to call it "pineapple"

If I had to take a guess, I'd say it's because the Midwest is largely rural and thus less "cultured", and that's where the term "pop" comes from.

It's just a dialect thing mainly. There are literally people that don't know what the heck "pop" is, and then when the person from down here doesn't know, and the person from up north has to describe it, the person from down here literally says something along the lines of "ohh you mean soda?" It's pretty sad how dialect like that can be unknown down here.
