We call them pop in Canada too!
11 0 ReplyIt's called pop in all of Canada too. An easy way to spot an american tourist is when they say soda.
9 0 ReplyI once announced to a room full of Minnesotans that I was going to get a pop.
The shameful walk to the coke machine felt very lonely as I contemplated all that had led me there.

All soda is Coke.
4 0 ReplyI can hardly express my terror when I first moved away and ordered a coke and they just handed me some random ass coke.
Like they didn't even ask what kind I wanted.

Fuck yeah. From my understanding Faygo was a big reason we call it pop. Rock & Rye is probably the greatest flavor of any pop.

3 0 ReplyFrom places that I have lived and worked - in western NY it is Pop in Rochester and Buffalo, but somewhere between Rochester and Syracuse it becomes Soda! Also, it is quite shocking to go to Texas and be asked "What kind of Coke do you want?"

3 0 ReplyRed cream soda I think.

So absolutely no one calls soda pop?
1 0 ReplyAlso Michigan and much of Indiana (not sure of Indianapolis and south of there). You get a little bit of it in western NY state too.
I grew up saying 'pop,' but have acquiesced to saying 'soda' once I moved outside of Michigan.
