    I call it soda! Pop is lame! Soda pop even lamer! Coke is okay only if it's a cola! Even if it's not Coca Cola!

    I've only known one person to call all cola "Coke", and she was from the south. I call Coke-a-Cola Coke, and nothing else.

    I usually say coke because that's mostly what I get, occasionally I'll say soda though. The cool thing about saying coke is there are a lot of double entendres at ones disposal to make it sound like you are asking for cocaine.

    how about no thanks, although its what i usually drink when i go to a fast food place, which isn't something i often do. i even buy the stuff occasionally, as its an easier liquid to get down when i have a sore throat, though its not (the sweetners in it) generally good for the causes of one. what do i call it? grep'swasser, i.e. belchwater, or, pendant that i am, carbonated beverage. i also grew up where most people called it coke, which i know why i stopped calling it that. for one thing, the ones i like are mostly not colas, and coke is one of those too big brand names, for something other people make and frequently better.

    i frequently don't call it anything. it never comes to me when i do.

    I call it another word entirely. But, I don't know how to spell it. It's like a cross between coke and some bootleg Spanish word. I had speech problems when I was younger becuase Spanish was my first language, I was starting to lose my hearing, and I just refused to speak, so I made up words for a lot of things. There is even a video of me asking my mom for whatever I called it. And even my brother and sister, who are older went along calling it that. Other than that I say Pepsi or Coke.

    I bet you go to fast food places all the time, drink soft drinks all the time, and just as frequently refer to them by name
