Pop or Soda?

I call it Pepsi since that has been my drink of choice for 60 years.

A soft drink, for me, Lilitu, doesn't have any alcohol, but doesn't have to be fizzy or carbonated... Orange juice can be a soft drink, as can be some forms of squash or quash. At least, I think that's what a soft drink it... something non alcoholic.

Over here the most you would find is Fizzy.
But most people here will call it by name , as in coke , Pepsi, Fanta , Solo.

Soda pop, yep it's soda pop to me. Too many years on the road of it being either or taught me to just call it soda pop. Yes i know some areas call it all coke, as in "get me a Dr. Pepper coke." but, to me that is either a brand of cola or, an illegal substance, not soda pop in general.

Everyone around here calls it pop, but somewhere along the way I started calling them soda.

Oh, that makes sense. I always wondered why soft drinks are 'soft' even though theyre fizzy.
I don't know why we call it soft drink, and I did confirm with a friend, we do use the term soft drink for fizzy drink it's not just me.
