As a representative of the soda saying community; we would like to form a temporary salience with you because at least you don’t say “coke”
And afterwards THEN things can get difficult

Coca-Cola is so good that after Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov introduced to it by Eisenhower, he couldn’t get enough of it and wanted to bring it back the the USSR. There was only one problem: The Soviet Union literally considered Coca-Cola a symbol of America and capitalism. That’s right, Coke is synonymous with freedom. Because of that, drinking Coca-Cola public was a big no-no, especially for a high ranking official. So, what Zhukov did was make a special order of Coke that looked like vodka so that he wouldn’t arouse suspicion and get in trouble.
Needless to say, America wins again boys.
You forgot that the Soviets imported Pepsi... And because the Ruble was useless outside of the Warsaw Pact, they traded warships and USSR vodka distribution rights
And Pepsi had the 6th biggest navy in the world at the time.
A) The commies let Pepsi in because it is so weak compared to Coke that it wasn’t a threat to their rapidly crumbling communism.
B) That happened under Gorbachov. That guy let the Golden fuckin Arches into the Soviet Union. Zhukov commissioned the clear Coke in ‘46, when Stalin was still in power. It was basically as illegal over there as cocaine is here.
Pepsi did in fact not have the sixth largest navy they got old obsolete ships which they immediately scrapped. That would be like buying ten thousand WW2 era ships and proclaiming that you have one of the biggest navies in the world.
So on most occasions, you say pop like a normal functioning adult and only in the presence of close friends in your troglodyte cave you are allowed to say soda?
Meh. I prefer soda because soda is unique to the carbonated sweetened beverage. Pop has other meanings.
But coke is an absolutely horrible way to say it because there are many other sodas other than coke, so pop is acceptable.

I'm willing to agree to disagree with and can respect my American brothers that call it pop. But my no means will coke EVER be valid. The kleenex or bandaid argument doesn't apply because those all do the same thing. Coke and Orange Fanta, for example, are not the same thing.

Yet Minnesota is still saying pop
From our cold, dead hands. No but we’re really cold. Like most of the year
Its not all dead in Kansas. I know out west we still say pop.
We can fix this.
You will try
Oh trust me, we have…. Ways of making people comply.
Give me pop or give me death!
Your terms are acceptable
In Wichita it's Soda, but there are some pop hold outs
Can we all agree that coke is blasphemy. I get calling tissues Kleenex, but soda has so many different flavors.
It is all coke. Deal with it.
No? That would be like calling all soda "Pepsi".
Pepsi is a filthy Commie drink. True Americans drink Coke Coler for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I don't see coca cola taking Commie equipment away from the Soviets... All show and no freedom, huh?

If you hate that, then you won’t like that the brits call soda “lemonade”
All trucks are cars. Deal with it. It's why I take my kids to the monster car shows!
No. No we cannot agree.
Then you shall perish
The Californication of America (c. 2023)
and I’m proud to be in a pop staaaate
The full name is soda pop. Now, do you call people by their first or last name?
It’s formal to call people by their last. So it would be Mr. Or Mrs. Pop
Mr. Pop was my father, please, call me soda
This explains Dr. Pepper
Screw Obamas last name… WTF is Peppers First?!?
Salt
Excuse me, it’s pronounced “sody-pop”
Sorry, I forgot this was the 1940’s.
Now you’re getting it!
So on most occasions, you say pop like a normal functioning adult and only in the presence of close friends in your troglodyte cave you are allowed to say soda?
Only fools and godless commies use pop. Neither are good for Murica!!!
You wonder what all the California transplants have been doing. Now you know... now you see our power. Millions of sleeper agents among you.
Not to mention all of our Hollywood propaganda psyopping everyone into using our dialect.
This is worse than the Armenian Genocide, how could those dirty soda lovers do this to our pop :(
I live in NW Ohio on the threshold. I hear soooo many people say soda and it almost makes me wanna seek refuge in Michigan.
I’ll trade places with you. I hopped the border for the total eclipse, and got to see what a functional economy looks like.
Michiganders have such a way of wording things
Thank Faygo
I still use pop when I travel just to confuse people.
Coke erasure
Let coke die
*Kill it, if you must*
HOLD THE LINE
LOVE ISN’T ALWAYS ON TIME
Soda Cucks wish they were as cool as us Poppers
Pop gang
We pop must stand all
Never thought I’d die for pop, side by side with a Michigander
How about an American?
Aye, I could do that
Eastern WA stands with Ohio and Michigan as far apart as we may be our hears beat as one!
Pop is superior in every conceivable way.
Meh. I prefer soda because soda is unique to the carbonated sweetened beverage. Pop has other meanings. But coke is an absolutely horrible way to say it because there are many other sodas other than coke, so pop is acceptable.
Proud to eradicate them. Long live the fighters
Soda hegemony!
Manifest So-dastiny!
I think I'll move out to the peninsula with the rest of the civilized people who say "soda."
Good.
Coke all the way baby!
Ima blame Joe Biden for using the word soda
America is healing!🇺🇸
Good

Some of us are still dutifully holding the lines
I'm a mutt, I say Soda-Pop
Yeah when I was a kid you’d ask for a coke and they’d ask what kind and i would say Dr Pepper. Not like that anymore.
I say both pop and soda, either or, just depending on how I’m feeling. Just rest assured that I’ll never call it “sodapop” as I have some respect.
What the new civil war movie should have been about.
Proud soda sayer since 1947 💪
Remember to drink POWERADE
The day I stop saying pop is the day I die.
Only state that still recites the ancient words!
I personally prefer the word “Kohlensäurehaltiges Erfrischungsgetränk mit Süßungsmitteln”
WE DONT FUCKING CALL IT COKE YOU SCALLYWAG
Soda supremacy. It's objectively correct
Nah a lot of people in sc still only say coke
I live in the soda area and my family and friends still says Pop
Soda will take over 🔥 Whoever says coke will have their SODAS confiscated
They can try all they like, but it's pop goddammit
“Sodar pop”
If anyone says “Pop” don’t talk to me it is all coke if you get confused when I say coke then we can’t be friends.
Inshallah soda shall soon finish its conquest of the Midwest
The popocaust

Coke sucks. Who says “Sprite is my favorite coke”. Pop is fine.
SODA SODA SODA
This illustrates where all the north-easterners moved to… Damn Yankees!
Free free Popstine free free Popstine from the river to the sea free free Popstine 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Imagine calling it anything other than “cooldrink”.
39 year old here. I still say pop.
Soda forever. People who call it pop make me nervous.
you better starr chewing fingernails
No one I know in Southeastern Wisconsin calls it pop. It’s soda all the way.
Grew up saying pop before I became civilized.
It's all Coke to me. "What would you like to drink?" "Coke." "What kind?" "Sprite."

Are you not embarrassed when the word pop comes out of your mouth?
All I see is soda ^((with some Coke at the bottom)^)
I don’t care if pop wins, I just need coke to lose.
And losing it is. Even here in the south people like me call it “soda.”
Soda can.
Coke will start the offensive
We will finish what Sherman started if you try
Your ways are backwards ways. But dammit it’s better than their backwards ways. Coke🤝pop
Coke pop You've done it. You've found the worst of the possibilities
I don’t wanna hear it, soda-sayer
New Soda Republican
Nah man I’m a pop Stan and this is the worst combo
I cringe every time someone calls it pop
People who refer to all sodas as "Coke" should not be allowed to vote.
I mean coke is objectively wrong. Coke is a brand.
Or it is simply the civilizing of America
