See that's what trips me out about this whole debate. If a customer would obviously order a sprite, why not just say sprite the entire time? If they don't have it I’m sure they'll say "no sprite, but we do have 7up"
This whole dilemma can be solved by stating exactly what you want. No need for code words like soda/pop/cola/coke-even-though-that's not really what you want.
It’s like going to a microbrewery and saying "hi there, one beer please!"
So thats why the guy at the bar is always pissed when i come in!!!!  |

I don't drink soda very often, but that's the word I use. If I was asking for a soda though, I would ask for the specific soda brand I wanted. Of course, I'd have to reword that whole last sentence and it wouldn't make much sense if I did as David is suggesting. Let's try it...

Cheerwine - why can't they get that stuff over the North Carolina border? (although Mojo's brings it down by the glass bottle).

Soda for sure. I honestly haven't run into too many people who call everything "coke" and I have some pretty hee-haw kin up in georgia. But hearing someone ask for a "pop"? It's like fingernails on the chalkboard to me.

I used to call it all "coke" until I switched to all diet soda. Now I call it soda. I can't say really why but I've also considerably lost my southern accent to some to degree since moving South. It's an enigma.
