As somebody from Tulsa I can confirm that Oklahoma is a weird mishmash of ‘anything goes’. People will literally say “soda pop”.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Soda pop is the correct term. Soda and pop are just shortened versions.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I don't think "correct" really applies here. "Original" maybe.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Let's just go with "soda pop" being the formal name. What I'm saying is the shortened forms are secondary.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The formal name would be carbonated beverage

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That is a superset. Beer is a carbonated beverage but definitely not pop. Pellegrino also.
