A new soft drink poll!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

To a Brit soda is something you put in whisky - fizzy water with some sodium bicarbinate (aka soda) in it.

The only fizzy pop that we call "soda" is cream soda, which is vanilla flavoured carbonated sugar water (ie it tastes like ice cream).

	So, after a minute of searching, I found this poll had been done before. But they were locked, so I'm bringing up another heated debate on what you should call it. Anyways, what do you normally call soft drinks. Yes, I know that the CORRECT way to say it is soda, but people from other places say otherwise shakes head, losing faith in humanity. Anyways, vote and discuss. If English isn't your first language, tell us what you've been taught to say.
