Pop, it's just what we call it here in Yorkshire. And diluted drinks we just call juice. Why make life hard? |

When I refer to the general class of drink, I call it pop (my vote). But when I order it in a restaraunt, I specify the flavor or the brand. Cherry Coke, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, rootbeer.

In general, I just refer to it all as pop most of the time. Unless of course I'm refering to a certain brand name.
Question: What's your favorite pop?
.....personally I enjoy Mt. Dew...........

Well, if you put coke, milk, vodka and Kahlua together, it's called a paralyzer. And it's not bad. |

Um, coke. But that is probably b/c i never used to drink anything but. Now it's whatever is on sale. (Because you know, I am just pennies away from that $2.7 mill for Tolkien's house)

Do you get Iron Brew in any other countries other than the UK? It's a mixed fruit fizzy drink. |

Who the heck are you? Laverne DeFazio?  (Though admittedly her drink was milk & Pepsi)
I call it soda, though I'm in a distinct minority here in Canada where I believe pop is the more common moniker. Heck, I even tend to call it "soda pop" because I think it sounds old fashioned and I'm just one of those people who *has* to be different (I also call a can of food a "tin" and a windshield a "windscreen"). Perhaps not coincidentally, I was beaten up by the other schoolchildren quite regularly

To the best of my knowledge, Irn Bru (to which I believe you're referring) hasn't made its way overseas save for speciality stores that import all sorts of exotic drinks. |

Yep, that's correct Cal. It's basically a White Russian with Coke in it.
And Mellowman, I have tried Iron Brew. There's a Scottish pub in Ottawa that serves it. It's not bad... not bad at all. |
