I still don't know why Sunset Sarsparilla is a thing around the Carolinas on this map. No Fallout took place there and the community couldn't find any lore about it
But Nuka Cola is insane. Every single business and neighborhood had a Nuka vending machine

In a contest of two widely-used nicknames where one is two syllables and the other is one, I cannot support the one that wastes more time. Imagine a universe where "soda" wins compared to a universe where "pop" wins. Every "pop" individual will have saved anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour over the course of their life, billions of man-hours when it's every english-speaker. Imagine what could be accomplished with that time.

Nuka-Cola is canonically created in 2044. I for one can't wait for the real deal. It will all be worth it... Sorta.

What about "soft drink"?
SomeDetroitGuy
Does anyone use that as just their usual go-to? Or is that more of a "what does the restaurant put on the menu"?

Soda vs pop is irrelevant, but people that call ALL of them Coke are idiots. Sprite is not coke. Root beer is not coke. Fanta is not coke.

When I moved from OK to PA ("coke" to whatevetheycalledit) it was like a comedy routine when I asked new friends to join me for a soft drink

Lontri
In English I call it soda if it's not coca cola, that I call coke. In Finnish I call soda limsa or limppari, and coke is cola.
Lontri
Btw actual proper Finnish word for soda is virvoitusjuoma. I think limsa comes from lemonade, which I've heard some people call limunaati. Maybe.

UK here. I can't speak for everyone but I'm fairly sure no one has ever called it soda here (that's like fizzy water). Pop I can agree with if you're under 8. I thought it was Coke (even if it's Pepsi) all the way. *Stands back and lets other Brits tell me I'm wrong

I've always called it soda and the map matches my surroundings. Only know a few people that refer to it as "pop". I've also heard the term "soda pop" be used. I don't like the idea of using "coke" because to me it implies a particular kind/flavor. For example, "Mountain Dew" is not "coke" to me; those are mutually exclusive.
Ohdearaudrey
It goes like this “uhhh can I get a coke?” “What kind we have coke, sprite, etc”
UncleMeaty
Yeah. People who call it Coke if they are referring to anything other than Coke are wrong and they should feel bad.
TI99Kitty

Around here it's called Dr. Pepper because that is the one true superior beverage

I've been a Pepper my whole life. Last weekend I went to a Giant for the first time and got a Dr. Bob. My two greatest loyalties have been thrown into conflict. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Dr._Bob

elibug
Born in Michigan spent a lot of my life in KY and now back. I call it sodipop pretty often and just switch back and for between the two randomly. It's probably the biggest tell that I was raised in both the south and north.
OverpricedCrayon
My dad was born and raised in Michigan. He’s never called it pop. Mom’s family born and raised in Chicago. Aunt and uncle call it pop. Mom calls it soda.
AnonymousFlyingSquirrel
The oldest American pop is from Michigan, so whatever we call it is right! (Vernors 1866)
FrogDelay
It will always be pop for me
ThatQuietlySmirking
They can have my pop when they pry it from my frosty dead hands! #faygo4lyf
AnonymousFlyingSquirrel
Idk if you've ever tried to drink a faygo outside of the state of michigan, but everyone thinks you're a juggalo. It's terrible. Like, I don't run around in black jingle jeans (or whatever they're called) and paint angry clowns on my face, I just like orange pop.
ThatQuietlySmirking
Small price to pay for a tasty beverage.
DigitalPizza
I'm a Michigander who started calling it soda because I think pop is a dumb word for the stuff. Yes, I'm a traitor to my state, but I'm okay with that.
lordbane0100
Im with you on this one. Pop just sounds really dumb. At least soda actually makes sense.
archery126
Honestly as long as you don't call it coke. Dumbest thing in the world, "What kind of coke do you want, Sprite?"

My grandparents from the East Coast always called them "Soders." Though they did that with a lot of "-er" words.

Meanwhile, in Australia: "soft drink"
shitheadtookmyname
We also say that in the USA. And the "Coke" thing in the American South is overblown. I'm from Texas and I say "soft drink" or usually I list a couple options so my guests know what I have at home. "You want a Coke r sumthin" only if I actually have coke

We call it that in the states too, that map isn't complete.
pritolus
In Norway it's "brus," which just means fizz (technically it's more like what a river/waterfall does, but I digress)
GravyEducation
In the states we do too, in restaurants they are often listed as soft drinks, in conversation we will use the others. I do three, normally I'll call it soda, occasionally I will say pop which most people here do, at work I'll say soft drink
Notthewatdabney
Damnit. Same here in Northern Vermont.
howdoyouturnthisonagain
"Softy" or "softies" is also acceptable
WenTheEternallySurprised
Maps like this are always incomplete and inaccurate, to say nothing of misleading. When ordering one, most people will ask for the actual product they want, not the generic term for all carbonated drinks.
CrisprCAS
Don't the Aussies usually SHORTEN words?
INeverReadTheTOS
Usually. Or just take the first letter or syllable and add "o" to the end of it. That said, I've always thought 'pop' is the best name for it.
sydneygirl
TBF we call them soft drink but more commonly people will just use the brand name So I guess "Coke" or 'fanta' is shorter than "soft drink"
uzetaab
I have always wondered why though. Presumably it's a reference to the lack of alcohol which would make it a hard drink. But I used to think it was that the bubbles make it seem less solid.
MangoDangBro
I thought Aussies called it "fizzy"
INeverReadTheTOS
I wonder how many people I could convince to do that.
DonkeyEsq
Yeah, soft drink or fizzy drink, unless you're talking about Coke or Pepsi, usually then we use the brand name.
howdoyouturnthisonagain
More people call them "softies" than "fizzy drink"
davebeastly
In Latvia, it's even more clunky: "Bezalkoholiskie dzērieni" (without alcohol drinks). Like why even mention alcohol or a lack there of it at all? Just "dzērieni" (drinks) should suffice, but no, you have to make sure it's known that this tea or lemonade doesn't contain alcohol like you're the weird one not drinking alcohol.
BrdCdn
It tracks for a former Soviet Republic.
ProppaGanda
I mean, what else to expect in Eastern Europe?
It's the same in Poland, though you can also say napój gazowany, so sparkling beverage. Until, I guess, sparkling vodka becomes a thing.
failsafe
That’s actually where the name “soft drink” comes from as well. It’s to differentiate it from a “hard” drink, a drink with alcohol.
AzraelTheSorrowful
Yeah, it's a menu delineation. It became the norm in family restaurants in order to be certain that children were not being served the 'hard' alcoholic drinks. Before the advent of the family restaurants, pretty much everything was fine dining with no children around.
Hoptimonium
Before family restaurants, working class families just didn't eat out. So much of what we think of what people did in the past is just what rich assholes did because the working class rarely had the resources to have their culture and traditions preserved for history
PectorialMuscles
See "hard" cider.
EmmJhee
Or “fizzy drink” in the UK
Kimhoe
I like the reason we call it soft drink is because it is non alcoholic. Alcohol is a Hard Drink and children drink a Soft drink.
yesyoucancancan
But juice and stuff are not soft drinks, clearly.

That's the first good explanation I've ever heard for it!
