In michigan, the general term is "Pop", but I call it "Soda".
I call it whatever it is.
Unless if it's Pepsi or Coke, they're both Coke.
No they aren't, they're both COLA. Coca Cola is not Pepsi Cola and vice-versa.
I say pop for 3 reasons.
1. It's faster
2. You don't have to memorize every band.
3. It's faster.
Stupidest reasoning for anything I've ever heard in my entire life.
I hate it when people argue for a terminology because "it's faster". It's one or two loving syllables holy jesus christ what the forget is wrong with you that you can't move your mouthhole for a half second more to complete a word? It's understandable if the difference is between words that are difficult to pronounce and an easier term, like "group" versus "conglomerate", but holy stuff "pop" is just as easy to say as "soda", you can't argue for ease of use when the next word has ONE letter and ONE syllable more than the previous.
