But that is because pop is the right word. It is the noun in soda pop. What kind of pop? Soda pop. So calling it soda is just wrong.

Well there's a Nestie name that hasn't been around in a while.

And I think you mean soda is the adjective...but either way, you're just wrong

I am from GA and I say soda.... They say Coke.  Everything is Coke.  Even Sprite.  

But what's wrong with Tennis Shoes?

DH has lived here 5 years now and I've got him saying sneakers instead of tennis shoes about 50% of the time.  I always used to tell him that I've never seen him play tennis so I didn't understand why he called them tennis shoes!
