1) I always say soda, we called my Grandfather "Pop". K8Day   Saturday, March 14, 2009

2) I thought the official term in Springfield was "sodie." Dave Heinzel   Saturday, March 14, 2009

3) In MN I was taught "pop" but was told in WI it was "soda". Guess now I know it is "pop" in IL too! :) LGrant   Saturday, March 14, 2009

4) I say it's soda, although I agree with Dave too. I cringe every time I hear someone say "sodie." soundchick   Saturday, March 14, 2009

5) Not so fast Grant. I am only about 45 minutes south of Springfield, IL and we call it soda. : ) runt   Saturday, March 14, 2009

6) The debate goes on! LGrant   Saturday, March 14, 2009

7) Solution - call it "sodie pop". stheinz   Saturday, March 14, 2009

8) NO!!!!!! That's the worst!

My .02 cents: "Pop" is a loud sound, the act of making that sound, or a father-type figure. It's not a carbonated beverage. SallyPants   Saturday, March 14, 2009

9) soda is carbonated? Only if liquid is added to it. :) LGrant   Saturday, March 14, 2009

10) SODA. END OF DISCUSSION. Bri   Saturday, March 14, 2009

11) Central Illinois Soda,,everywhere else Pop RickMonday   Saturday, March 14, 2009

12) Pop, and I am sticking to it! SA Tenor   Saturday, March 14, 2009

13) I grew up in Michigan and it was definitely Pop. When I moved to NC and heard them say, "I'm going to get drinks." I thought they meant alcohol.
Sodie pop is what they call it on Heehaw. dannie   Saturday, March 14, 2009

14) when I was in the South it was "Coke". You'd say "do you want a Coke?" and then you'd ask what kind of soft drink...Coke, Sprite, etc. But you started out calling everything Coke. LGrant   Saturday, March 14, 2009

15) In Chicago it's pop. Bill Pearch   Saturday, March 14, 2009

16) Pop here (In Chicago) and where I grew up in Michigan...but I've always called it soda. I don't know why...just wanted to be different I guess, lol! Jules   Saturday, March 14, 2009

17) I agree with Rick. It's soda in Central Illinois. Everywhere else is pop. My family in Iowa and Missouri all say pop. Ames   Sunday, March 15, 2009

18) In Springfield it is soda. I am one of those weirdos who say Coke. franklins   Sunday, March 15, 2009

19) We're soda here in Bloomington, but my dad is from Southern IL and he always called it sodie pop. Weird. I also agree with LGrant that every carbonated beverage in the South is Coke and all chips are Doritos. Angi   Sunday, March 15, 2009

20) I'm with Linda, franklins, and Angi. All carbonated drinks are Coke to me. Then again, I'm from NC. Merritt   Monday, March 16, 2009

21) Merrit, you are so right in NC, it is either Coke or Pepsi. BeanCounter37   Monday, March 16, 2009
