]]> Comment on Pop or Soda? by Michael Comfort http://mikecomfort.net/blog/2008/08/18/pop-or-soda/#comment-355 Michael Comfort Tue, 19 Aug 2008 06:10:32 +0000 http://mikecomfort.net/blog/?p=481#comment-355 Great comments! Thanks to each of you for these very interesting contributions. It's fun to find out these unique personal preferences and the reasons why we keep them or change them. You make a good point, Mom, that a huge part of our population was not represented in this study—those who order the "senior soft drink" and get a well-deserved price break. I must admit, Misty, that "soda" definitely does sound more sophisticated, and by the way, I think it fits you very well! I appreciate the three unique perspectives from people who have been transplanted from places where the normal way was not the way it mostly is here... Sherry, Michelle, and Gregg. I actually laughed out loud when I read your comment, Cristie, about your Mom using "soda-pop" to be non-partisan! Now that's peace-making! None of us want our families, friendships or our country to be polarized by carbonated beverage names! The lesson for me is that our preferences and opinions are what make us each unique, interesting, and really quite fascinating. Any others want to add a comment, and reveal which side of the soda/pop aisle you are on? Great comments! Thanks to each of you for these very interesting contributions.

My Mom calls it "soda pop" to be non-partisan, but I got my habit from my Dad. (He's a Pepsi drinker...do you think that has anything to do with it??) What a great topic... :-) Cristie Well, I’ve had an ongoing debate with quite a few people, and I call it pop and have tried to stick to it in the middle of all of these soda people!

Now I have a map to show me why! (And now I say pop.) :) I remember, when I moved from California to Clackamas, Oregon in 1981, that I thought “pop” was such a quaint, weird word to use.

I have fond memories of people asking me what kind of a Coke I would like. And if you're in the South, do NOT ask for a Pepsi!

I'm definitely a "soda" girl. I can't remember when I started calling it that, but I'm pretty sure I grew up with "pop". Somehow I am among the people who consider it unsophisticated, not that I consider myself sophisticated. Again, interesting to ponder... Very interesting! I’m definitely a “soda” girl.

That term doesn't seem to be an option. The fact is, we don't often order soft drinks, pop, or coke. We prefer non-carbonated for our health. Of course, coffee is controversial, healthwise.

It makes me want to book a Yurt now for next summer. There is a historical novel by Jane Kirkpatrick called the Gathering of Finches about the wife of Louis Simpson and that area.
