We call them pop in Canada too!

[-] BigJim@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It's called pop in all of Canada too. An easy way to spot an american tourist is when they say soda.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I 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.

[-] Grilipper54@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Odd, I've been in MN forever and I'm looked at like an idiot for calling it soda.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I never heard anyone up there call it soda either.

[-] Staiden@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

I was in Arizona recently and a waiter looked at me like I was an idiot asking what kind of pop they had.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They were probably just confused.

[-] Goodbyeworld@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Chicago will take tree hot dogs and tree pops. Tanks.

[-] Staiden@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

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

Meanwhile, me, in Texas:

All soda is Coke.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I 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.

[-] iamdisillusioned@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Are you saying in Texas to order a drink you'd go, "I'll have a coke", "what kind?", "Sprite"...?!?

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I basically only drank sprites at the time lol

I once lived at the soda/pop border:

[-] drunnells@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

From 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?"

[-] kani@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

They call it pop here in North-East of England as well.

[-] Peepolo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

And the north west 👍

Can someone tell me what Rock & Rye Faygo actually tastes like, because ive been told that it tastes nothing like a Rock & Rye cocktail

[-] Shorn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Red cream soda I think.

[-] Braysl@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Very sweet coke, if I recall. I haven't had any faygo in a while since graduating from uni in an area that actually stocked Faygo.

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

You know smoothies?

We call 'em blendies

[-] Entropy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

They do in in PA too. I've lived here almost my whole life and I hate it. Pittsburghese is a fucking travesty of human language.

[-] SuperSoftAbby@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

But do you drink mostly Faygo? lol

[-] Entropy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Lol, I did when I was a teenager, but I don't drink much soda at all these days, besides the occasional root beer or ginger beer.

[-] Steveanonymous@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oregon rep the pop mfers

[-] MisterMoo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

So absolutely no one calls soda pop?

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

What do all you rednecks call Coke if everything is Coke?
