What do you call a carbonated beverage?

[Razor]

What about calling it a "flavoured carbonated beverage"?

 

[Dr. Freeman]

soda, I had a gf that called it pop and it drove me insane.

poppoppoppoppoppoppoppoppoppop!

im kiddin
although i do call it pop.. occasionally sodapop when one of my friends is around :dork:

 

[Crushenator 500]

Mostly by the name it has, but other than that i call them fizzy drinks. Or pop occasionally.

ditto. never 'pop' though. i hate in america how i went there on holiday once, and stupidly asked for a 'lemonade' the waitress came back with this POS lemon water that tasted like crap. i couldnt drink it. it wasnt even carbonated. so, i guess in certain placs inn america you're kinda forced to say sprite or 7-up. i was in virginia btw.

WTF?!? lemonade is made with water, lemon jusice (pulp maybe) and sugar.. no carbonation you sick freak! good grief, as if i needed another reason to hate.. get with the program! if you want a sprite-type thing, call it by it's proper generic name ("lemon-lime") or, as you correctly noted, it's proper brand name. lemonade is a fixed and established.. dare i say, traditional beverage.. don't bring your wrong-headed ways over here anymore you sick pervert!

Proper lemonade should be lightly carbonated and should contain lemons.

well, now you know :thumbs:




note to self: bomb england before it's too late...

 

[Baal]

I call it pop, but when I order something from a restaurant I call it by name...like coke, or pepsi or whatever, although I don't drink it that often.

Americans and Euros seem to call it soda more often. But if you came to Canada and said soda, people would know what you're talking about I'm sure, but you never know, you can be surprised.

 

[jabberwock95]

It's pop, or fizzy drink, and yes lemonade is carbonated.

orangeADE
cherryADE

Very good point. If all the americans here would like to point out how stupid we are for using the same suffix to mean the same thing each time please step forward ...
Anyway, whaat'es thees aboout superfluououose voweals??

 

[Lil' Timmy]

holy god.. WTF! is "cherryade"? oh man.. note to self: urry up-hay on the omb-bay!

.. "orangeade"... yikes.. someone give these poor people an orangina.. the scurvy is getting to their brains..

 

[olistead]

I'm with Abom - 'fizzy drink'. Maybe the brand name for special cases. I guess it's an English term, right? As in the location, not the language, natch. Wasn't 'soda' derived from the use of soda water? Sounds right, anyway. Also, isn't home-made lemonade not carbonated, or at least not artificially so. Needing information here...

 

[Axyon]

wow.. you brits must lead weird lives.. full of fairies, carbonated lemonade (!) and superfluous vowels..

Perhaps we just don't want to drink over sugary, non-carbonated, pulpy mushes in a glass. Lightly sweetened with carbonation is the only way to go! I dunno, we Brits seem to be light years ahead of you lot in terms of things

Erm.. Now I'm scared.

 

[AH_Viper]

Wheres the "Carbonated Beverage" option

Honestly though, I just call it a "Drink" ( the situation lends itself to being alcoholic or not ) or what it is, i.e. "Coke" or "Bud... FEWL!"

 

[Pressure]

Down here in the South everyone calls everything Coke no matter what it is. It could be a Mountain Dew or Pepsi and we'll still call it a coke. My relatives from Minnesota call em Pop, which I think is weird lol.

 

[h00dlum]

I call it "läsk" and "dricka"..cuz im swedish..but if i would be in USA\England i would say Soda

We don't call it soda.

 

[Shippi]

I say 'fizzy drink' or just call it by the brand name.

 

[Neutrino]

I'm thirsty now.
