I can get behind this, with one exception
It’s soda, not pop

I call it soda, but look at the map of Colorado. See that big yellow square near the middle? That’s where I grew up.

Friend of mine from West Virginia insists “Soft Drink” is the proper term, and should be used over any of the others.

I think it’s because you got it out of a Coke machine or cooler. That is at least what I thought as a kid. It was like Coke was the parent company and all the others where sub brands. No one drank Pepsi where I grew up and it was even a detriment to restaurants like Taco Bell. I am not joking.

Growing up, I remember Vernors being so strong that it was nearly impossible to drink it without burning your nostrils.

I won’t begrudge you your choice to call it soda, but as a Michigander who only likes Vernors (and maybe a few Faygo flavors from time to time), you’re never going to convince me to call it anything but pop.

Heh. I grew up on the west coast, mostly California. That map is wrong for 1980's Cali. You go to a restaurant and they ask you what you’d like to drink, you say coke. Then they ask what kind, so you say mountain dew (or whatever, just pulled that out as the furthest thing from actual Coke.)

Fellow Michigander here, and northern Ohio native, I get a kick out of the way soft drinks and what people call them can get folks all riled up. But it’s always been pop, always will be pop, anything else just doesn’t feel right. Lol.
At least no one here is calling it a fucking fizzy drink, or soda pop... like the Brit commenter on the fountain pop post. I mean really, pick one, either soda or pop, but by all means never call a pop a friggin fizzy drink.... I believe you’d get your ass kicked for sayin something like that around here. ;).
That map post is pretty cool to see the regional-ness of the terms.

If mixing with Jameson: Canada Dry
If mixing with Fireball: Vernors
If Sick: Canada Dry
If the two are side by side and I’m healthy and there’s nothing else to drink: Vernors
If not mixing: Grace’s Ginger Beer, every time.

I miss it. I wish they hadn’t changed it. I hardly ever drink Vernors anymore because it seems way too sweet.

If you like the burning sensation with ginger ale, let me point you to Blenheim:

Get the one with the pink cap.
This stuff is brewed/bottled at South of The Border in SC.

I wish they still made it with the old recipe. The newer mass-produced stuff isn’t as good. :-(
Still, it’s about the best drinking ginger ale there is.

I remember when it was like a smooth-drinking ginger beer. Haven’t encountered anything quite like it since.
