    What do you call a non-alcoholic, carbonated, and sweetened beverage?

    Is it a soda, pop, fizzy drink, or perhaps something else?


    I refer to my beverage as "pop" or by the name "diet coke". How about you?

    I only drink coke, but refer to it as soda, habit I guess from when I was a kid and my mom controlled my caffeine intake.

    Soda, but here in New England it is classically referred to as "Tonic". Go figure.
    But I'm originally from Pittsburgh, where it is typically "pop".

    Pittsburgh is weird, though - they call baloney/bologna "jumbo". Again, go figure.

    I say "rubber bands", Pittsburghese="gum bands", Bostonian="elastics". Go figure.

    Odd designation for soft drinks, IMO. Makes me wonder what you call real elastic bands... :confused:

    Over here we call it a soft drink. When I was studying in the UK, it was called a "mineral".

    Scottish people call it Irn Bru.

    Sassenachs call it Iron Brew.

    It's got a secret recipe that only 2 people IIRC know.

    Actually, I believe the Scots and the Irish call it "A Complete Waste of Bloody Time!"

    What the hell is a Sassenach? Isn't that the name of that hairdresser?

    Sorry Minstrel,

    Wrong continent. South of Scotland, aka English people. Although I'm not quite sure if the Welsh come under the category of Sassenach too :confused: .

    Derived from Saxon (methinks).
