"Soda" is from "bicarbonate of soda" that was used to give drinks their fizz before direct carbonation was introduced, hence "soda water". "Pop" comes from the noise of removing the cork from a bottle of fizzy drink.... Horses for courses.

*might as well go for a soda...nobody hurts and nobody cries* (Actual song lyrics).

Sep-25-2006 02:52

*pop goes the weasel 'cuz the weasel goes pop*

I too can recite song lyrics which are marginally relevant to the thread, crunch... :)

'carbonated soft drink' lol. Here in Scotland I'd just say fizzy drink I guess..though I've heard 'ginger' before. On the whole soda mixer thing I'd call that soda waterlike lime and soda or whisky and soda. Soda water has a taste to it so it's not fizzy/carbonated water and tonics different, more dry.
Rockwell - ask for mineral water without gas or whatever they say 'agua mineral no con gas' in spain I think not sure what 'still' would be in french though.
And anyone interested in irn-bru (Scotland's other national drink) should check out the article on wikipedia - priceless!

uh, if you want to say 'mineral water without fizz' in spanish, its just 'agua mineral sin gas'
france, its 'l'eau plat'
italy, its 'acqua naturale'

where i live now, people call it 'pop'. when i lived on the west coast, it was called 'soda'. anyone here just call it coke? my relatives live in the south and you would say: 'can i have a coke?' 'what kind?' 'uh...coke' or 'uh...orange'. now that's strange, lol.
