I Say "Pop" Instead of "Soda"

Time Vs Place

By: Nyxii

Written on February 11th, 2012

I thought it was divided by generation, rather than by region. For instance, I thought elderly people used "soda" and my generation and my parents' generation used "pop". I thought "soda" was just for people my grandparents' age.

Does anyone know where the geographical borders are, between these two words? I have a mild interest in this sort of thing.

  Really? Now, that *is* interesting. Soda when you add ice cream - what general region are you from, and does everyone in your region follow that rule?

I have no solution for your query but a spanner to throw in the works. I don't say pop or soda - I was fizzy drink or soft drink. :)
