Tell them I hate them

It’s just a regional dialect thing. Where I grew up, we called it “coke,” even if it was a Dr. Pepper. That’s the only one that is truly irredeemably wrong.
I had to train myself to call them something else. (I chose “sodas” because that was the only alternative I knew.)

Coke makes more sense than pop, since coca cola was literally named after the term.

I would also like them to know that I hate them

Who would win: people who call every soda “Coke” or moms who call every console “Nintendo”?

I’ll accept either “soda” or “pop”, but I will never accept those “everything is a coke” freaks

I’ll die on this hill - no one calls everything Coke and those who claim so haven’t been in the South especially the area around Atlanta. “Coke” is used as an example - for instance, “Hey, can I get you anything? Coke, beer, water, or something?” Yes, they mean they have soda one of which is coke. No one would say, “hey, can you get me a coke” and mean Sprite / etc. At most, they may use it to mean coca-cola products but usually you’ll get a list of which sodas they have and are offering

I grew up in a “pop” part of the country. Then moved to a “soda” part of the country for a while and not only did I change my word usage, but I decided I liked “soda” better because it was a more accurate description of the beverage.
I have since moved back to my old “pop” area and I still use “soda” and I get weird looks. One of my friends even called me a traitor.

Modern carbonated beverages do not use soda, and they haven’t since the 1800s.
“Pop” is from the sound you get when opening a bottle.
I’d say one is much more applicable than the other.

It’s not champagne. I’d probably be ok with calling it “fizz” or something though.
I don’t know the onomatopoeia for opening a can, but I wouldn’t call that a “pop” either.

As a can drinker, that’s the reason I call them “Crrrsppppclick glug glug glug”.

If you’re in, what was it, Atlanta? The city where Coca-Cola was invented. They’re all called “Coke” there.
