The hot weather/cold weather thing I get--it would be hard for us to live anywhere near each other with differing opinions on that--but how would it affect you if I drank Pepsi and you drank Coke?

I personally call everything coke. If asked I will say I want a coke and then specify which kind, usually a Dr. Pepper.
Normal people call it "soda" :mrgreen:

really though... because thats what it is. Saying pop sounds stupid, and saying soda is just esier. " soft drinks " is the most retarded thing i've ever heard .... its like you're a TV executive or something trying to sell a product ... lame ¬_¬

Saying "pop" makes you sound like a retard. Ugh, I feel retarded just typing it.

It's soda, but I don't mind when people refer to all of sodadom as "Coke". I couldn't call it a "cold drink" because I don't always have it cold (though it's always best cold). I don't call it a "soft drink" because that's dumb, and it isn't especially soft besides.

Heretics, all of you! Soft drinks are to be called 'limu' or 'limpsa' and...

*looks around*
*notices there are only about half a dozen Finns on SDnet*

Never mind...

:wink:

Anyway, 'limu' is what we call soft drinks generally. When speaking english, I prefer to use the term soda, or soft drink.

Thats such a sad song, when I hear it it makes me get shivers down my spine. I think when I heard it first it made me almost cry, how poor is that? :oops:


Anyway, back to the topic, I call the stuff "soft drink" and anything else sounds really weird to my Aussie ears.
