Carbonated or fizzy drink? Given we have Cream Soda and Coca Cola/Pepsi Cola, plus all the rest. And as to such, one usually leaves them behind when discovering the value of one's teeth.

Soda, coke or pop. What do you call it.

Spezi? Mezzo-Mix?
Of course. Who would want to water down the drinks by adding so much ice?

That is probably because you see 'lighter" When you spell it your way I see "Lee Tray". Or worse "lit reh"

I can't call it pop yet. Apparently I now live in an area where it's called Pop, so I will let you guys know if I start calling it that. But I lived for decades in a place where they called it coke apparently and I always called it soda so there's that. One of the benefits of being a military brat and wife I guess.
Pop. Holding true to my Michigan roots.
Interesting map by the way.

It took a few years, but my husband says 'pop' now, too.

Used to call it pop as my parents were from PA. Then we moved to NJ and I started calling it soda. Now I usually ask for tea or coffee. If I want a soda I'll ask for a specific one like root beer or cherry soda don't know when I had a normal cola last

Please don't pressure me.[metis brings out a year's supply of popcorn while waiting anxiously]
Worse things could happen.

That's true but to me, pop sounds silly. So does coke. Oh well.

Never knew that coke meant any kind of soft drink.
IIRC, I was taught in English class that a coke meant a cola based drink specifically.
They did teach "Queen's English" in my country though.
Don't know if that makes a difference...
Edit: It does seem to make a difference, judging from the replies from posters I know are from the UK.
I always felt the term coke was a bit awkward to use in such contexts because it made me feel as if you can casually order hard drugs at a restaurant in English speaking countries.

The visual aid is accurate in that, here in NJ, it's soda. Coke is one brand of soda. My mother made the best iced tea I have ever had. The iced tea was my treat. At times I order fountain-made Pepsi with dinner at my favorite restaurant.
I must be weird, i call it what it's called, Orangina, Fanta, Schweppes Lemon, Lemonade etc.

Not weird. If I feel I want a soda I usually say I want a Mt Dew.
I just call it soda in general.
"Litter," I think.
