I have a friend down south (USA) who refers to any carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage as Coke. Doesn't matter if its Pepsi, Sprite, or whatever. I call this stuff generically "soda".

It usually finds its way to me without calling, but if I had to call it something, I'd call it a carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage.

Calling everything Coke is just silly. Coke is a specific beverage, and is also not the generic term for any cola.

Now, I have a definitive answer for the soda and pop debate. These separate terms used to be used together as soda pop, to describe the beverage in question. If you look at it, soda is the adjective, and pop is the noun. So the correct answer is pop.

whoops sorry i didn't understand the question. I voted for the coke one. Nobody actually calls fizzy drinks by these names that i know. As may have been gleaned everyone just calls them fizzy drinks.

Coke is Coke and nothing else. In Sweden we call it läsk (pronounced lesk in English), which is short for läskedryck, which is an older way of saying "refreshing beverage" in Swedish. The best option here would be soda, although I tend to use the term soft drink(s) in English.

I usually just call it coke. But then again, I live in an upper-class neighborhood/town so I've never really had a problemTongue
