   Right- I think soda is a southern phrase. Actually it is soda pop. To me a soda is something I used to get at a soda fountain in a drug store. Chocolate sodas were the best.

   My other half lived in Ohio all his life and has always called it soda. I’ve lived in Ohio all my life and have always called it pop. Both our sets of grandparents were from the south.

   unless you live inside Rte 128 in eastern Mass – aka Greater Boston – then it’s tonic.

   In New Orleans, we call soft drinks “Coke”: “What kind of Coke do you want? Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite?”
   .
   And in some neighborhoods, they are called “cold drinks”: “You want a cold drink?”

   Also called soft drinks. All forms are correct. In my house it was always “You want something to drink? we got coke, pepsi, something called Mountain Dew.”

    My grandparents called it “soft stuff”. Odd, because looking back I realize there was never any “hard Stuff” in the house.

    I don’t know. A coworker of mine is from Alberta and she calls it “pop”, much to our amusement.
