ot necesarily true. Soda is populare in NY, and Pop is populare farther north.

But then, this is a whacked out country who cannot even call a sub sandwich the same thing all over.

I know that it changes by region, and not always by a rule, why I said "popular and common".

It's made in Scotland. From Girders.

And, according to the ads, I really really hope that Derek Smart can't get a drink from an Irn Bru machine one day

Bottled waterr is, and I see ever more people choosing that over tap water. Our corporate masters are clever indeed.

What about water filters, like Brita?

Soda is one American name for carbonated drinks. It just depends on what part of the United States you're from. Soda is popular in the south, pop is common in the north, and for some reason people in Nashville call it coke.

If you mean New England, they call it tonic, at least in the Boston area. We sure as hell don't call it pop. They say that in the Midwest. We call it soda.

I have seen/heard it called many things. It's a sub; not a sub sandwich, not a submarine sandwich, not a hoagie, not a hero, and no way in hell is it called a torpedo sandwich. It's a sub, plain and simple and that's final.

You got to love America's idiosyncracies. ^_^

Well, green tea is pretty good...anything with caffeine.

[phreak]

cranberry juice, possibly with some orange juice mixed in as well, perhaps a bit of tonic mixed in for good measure.

In fact, what the hell is soda?  Soda water?  Baking soda?

Ahh, the Brits.... A simple people.

This is soda:




And this is Kool Aid:

I don't drink much and when I do it's usually fruit juice... I hate soda

[Nix]

If you rent the place you own, and it has pipes that are probably 30-40+ years old, a Brita water pitcher is actually a pretty good thing to have.  It actually DOES make the water taste less... funky.  The place I used to live at, it's water tasted terrible, nothing near like the well we have back home.

[Solatar]

The only reason I ever drink bottled water is because the tap water around here doesn't taste like water...

...actually, they don't recommend you drink it in vast quantities or anything either.

The Brits would refer to such drinks as carbonated beverages (or simply use the products name). It's only the Americans who can't deal with anything longer than four letters

Or ginger.

(Which is really only a Scottish way of confusing foreigners, because I've never heard anyone under 60 actually use it in normal conversation...)

[MicroPsycho]

here in Canada all drinks like coke/pepsi/sprite are known as pop and only pop unless maybe its some sort of restaurant where it might be refered to as 'soft drink' on the menu

and as far as non-alcoholic beverages go, i prefer virgin (non-alcoholic) versions of alcoholic beverages (ie. Pina Colada sans alcohol)

[Make]

I prefer water or juice.

We've got a Ginger Ale pop.  It's called Ale-8-1.

I drink my well water most of the time and it's completely unfiltered, of course it's tested reularly though.  I only drink pop, soda, or whatever you wanna call it when I eat.

[aldo_14]

Ginger ale != ginger.

[vyper]

Mmm... Ale...
