let me begin with my story: i grew up in michigan, and up there it is called pop. when i moved out to iowa i was shocked and amazed that other people around the country had other names for a carbonated beverage. soda? that sounded so strange to me. after many arguments and late night discussions i was finally shown the light. it isnt pop. but to be honest, it isnt always soda either.
the fact of the matter is this: officially the correct term is soft drink. if it is a dark soft drink then it is called a cola, if it a light colored, or clear soft drink it is called soda. so those who call it soda are not always right. i drink diet pepsi and i call it a soda, but that would be inaccurate.
so i guess the moral of the story is that we are all wrong. suck on that.
