Yeah, they can increase the price of soda all they want, provided they leave pop alone!

So what it is called is regional. Do you have a brand loyalty no matter what the price? If there are 2 cases of pop side by side but one is $2 cheaper do you buy the cheaper one even if it's not your favorite brand but one you still like?

I drink Coke. We have a discount pop distributor near us. The stuff is crap. I'm not sure what the price differential is but I drink Coke.

Heck yes! I reality, I would go down the street to the store that had my choice (Pepsi) on sale. They alternate weeks around here.
Funny thing is that while I call it pop, I order it simply as "I'll take a diet"

Yup, another good example is Ipod. I have a few different MP-3 players and its funny how most people will say "hey what kind of Ipod is that?" :lol:

Well, fellow "pop" lovers, it doesn't look like we're going to convince the so-duhhh crowd or the trademark busting Coke heads, despite the incontrovertible evidence. Pop Century, Pop Warner, Pop Culture ... the list goes on and on.

That's not evidence, as most of those "pop" phrases (as in "popular") have nothing to do with "pop" as in soda pop. :ROFLOL: New Yorkers say "soda," Californians say it, New Englanders say it - need I say more?
I don't really care that much about soda prices.

When you want to watch an animated movie, you don't say you want to watch "a Disney movie" if you actually want to watch Shrek. Likewise, if I want to get a Sprite, I wouldn't say I want a Coke because a Coke is a specific soda. I would say I want a soda, and then ask what kinds they have.Disney serves Coca-Cola refreshments. Soda and Pop are a generalization. When you want to watch a Disney movie, you don't say you want to watch an animated feature, you say it specifically, A DISNEY MOVIE. At Disney World you drink Coke. Have a nice day.
But what do you say if you actually want a Coke? The brand. Basically, you have to ask for it twice!

What did you do on vacation?
Oh, we went to Disney!
Yeah? What did you think of Everest?
Huh, never heard of it.
Oh, well, what about how "It's a small world" gets stuck in your head?
I have no idea what you are talking about.
Well, if you didn't go on Everest, or It's a Small World, what did you see?
Oh, Harry Potter, it was really cool! We had butter beer, and then went to see Shamu!
Coke |= Pop or Soda.

Too late, even though it is wrong, the joke has stuck. Our family has begun referring to Pop Century as Coke Century! We are staying at Coke Century in a few weeks. The scrapbook pages darn near create themselves... thanks for the help.
It was also decided that for several of the buildings Coke Century was a more accurate name. The 50's would be pop century, the 60's would be pot century, the 70's and 80's would be Coke Century, and the 90's would be crack century.
Highjack the nickname of the brand as the generic name for the product, and require the use of the full name to actually order the product. :brick:
It's still pop.
And I still wish it didn't cost so much. See, now we're back on topic!!

Hey "The Mom", I remember the old soda fountains and ice cream parlors.
(You sure you are old enough to remember those days? Or hearing stories from much older siblings!)
So I call it soda also. My cousin who grew up in Canada calls it "pop'.
Some other relatives call it soda-pop so the discussion goes on....
