Your kids drink pop/soda guys

[II./JG27_Rich]

Pop in Canada soda in the States. I've never heard it called pop down there     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RyuZARgoX0

'Soft Drink' or 'Cool Drink' over here in Australia, though through exposure to international TV Kids of today would recognize both terms from North America!

 

Cheers!

"Soft drink" or, for little kids, "fizzy", is what we usually call it in New Zealand. Everyone is familiar with the terms "soda", "soda-pop" and "pop" of course.

 

In Japan it's called "Juice", oddly enough.

Here in the upper midwest its 'soda', where I grew up , in Pittsburgh Pa it was 'pop' and Friends from Missouri have told me all soft drinks there are refered to as 'Cokes'.

We used to use the word 'tonic' in Massachusetts, but it's been years since I've heard that term. For a while I remember the generic term for soft drinks would be Coke. Now we seem to use the brand specific term, "I'm going to the store, Wanna Pepsi?"

Obviously Bearcat, you must know some folks from 'back home'! Go Steelers!

[MiloMorai]

It is understandable that it would be called pop considering what the original colas had in them.

I miss visiting the Pittsburgh area. When we got home from summer vacation the neighborhood kids would look at us like we had three heads when we said something like, "Yinz wanna play some baseball in the empty lot?"

 

Last time I had an R/C Cola was in western PA. I don't see it around here unless I go to a general store because 7-Elevens and such don't carry it.

 

Sad what's become of the area my family is from. Whole sections of the city (and county) are abandoned and destroyed. Banks, Supermarkets are leaving because crime is so high.  (Sorry for the off topic)

My grandparents lived in Homewood.. back in the 70s.. early 70s.. before it went downhill..  my dad still lives in Penn Hills and he and my mom grew up on The Hill. I have an aunt in East Liberty and cousins in Oakland..

[oneeyeddog]

I grew up in New Kensington 1960s and 70s , on the bank of the Allegheny River not too far from Penn Hills.Thats when the Steel Industry went to hell.

I was born in McKeesport but moved early in life. Went their every Summer and had a bawl with cousins and friends. I went back about 8 years ago and it's just deplorable how far downhill it's gone. Sad really. All of downtown is abandoned and it used to be a bustling commercial area.

 

I remember the Steel Industry being strong and then a lot of strikes happened in the 70s. They always seemed to be outside supermarkets with union reps looking for handouts to support the non-working steel mill worker. About five of my relatives worked with that industry in one form or other. They made damn good money too for the 70s.

 

Keeping on track.... I had plenty of pop at Kennywood.

[johncage]

so many choices here, we basically have to call it by their brand name.

[Cybermat47]

I've never tried that stuff. I prefer water.

[II./JG27_Rich]

I think the moral of the story in the first video is stay away from the stuff. In the Doc. Super Size Me I think it was the super sized drinks that' was tanking the poor guys liver and having the greatest effect on his health....Maybe even killing him if he didn't stop when he did. I remember the look on that doctors face...You better stop this ....NOW!

Rethink what you are drinking!

We call it POISON here. Sugar, aspartame, sacharin, so good for children.

Yoinks.

 

Weirdly, my boys (six and nine) only drink water....through choice. They don't like anything else.

[Nankeen]

In Australia, folks know it as soft drink, some nick name it "lolly water".
