Here in Michigan everyone calls it pop, but I say coke most of the time because I usually drink Coca-Cola. I have always thought that soda was also the another name for carbonated water.

Dandelion and Burdock.
2 categories - D&B made with D&B flavourings = pop
D&B made with D&B extracts = nectar (Barrs or if you are feeling loaded then Fentimans)

I tend to say Soda on most forums I go on because most people are American and it saves the hassle of people asking what you're talking about.But in Australia, the same applies as with the British it seems if Dean isn't talking crap, which I assume he isn't.Soda water is the stuff you mix alcohol with and Creamy soda is the only fizzy pop drink here.In the real world Australia, soda is generally referred to as soft drink.

I also live in Australia, and I only really hear people call it "Soft Drink", so I'll go with that.

Does that by chance roughly translate to 'gaseous'? I'm wondering because I'm still learning spanish.

When I were a lad, pop = lemonade (even if it didn't have lemon flavouring) = sweetened fizzy water. As far as I'm concerned, soda (water) is water with just CO2 in it. We do get stuff in the UK called CREAM SODA, which I believe is vanilla flavoured pop, but I've never seen it used as a mixer. In Glasgow and the West of Scotland, they have a drink called GINGER, which is just another word for pop - mind you, they're very strange in Glasgow! Here in Scotland, we also have Barr's IRN BRU (pronounced Ion Brew), which is partly used as a hangover cure (it works with me to some degree) AND a mixer, particularly with vodka. I no longer drink Coke, after I saw what it did to a couple of copper coins!

The correct term is "Bebida Gaseosa" and would be "beverage with gas".

"Pop" sounds cheesy and pornographic if taken out of context.

That's baaaaaaad acid man!
I knew there was some acid in my gut, but I didn't know it was hydrochloric! God, that's bloody frightning! Now I know why it's (accurately) called heartburn!

^From somebody who just recently finished a biology course I can say that the digestive juices in your stomach are potent enough to dissolve nails. Soda acid is milder, though if you drink too much of it your tooth enamel can deteriorate. But in my opinion what's the point of having good tooth enamel if you can't drink soda, especially since I brush my teeth every morning and night.
