I’ve always called it “pop”. I can understand people calling it “soda”, but calling every carbonated drink “coke” makes no sense to me, since Coke is the name of one type of pop.
Yea, I got that the first time I visited my parents when they had a winter place in Arizona (We live in Alberta). We went out to a restaurant and I asked for coke, and she asked what kind? I was so confused, then I thought she meant diet/regular/cherry variants. I said just regular coke and that seemed to work. Then I had the everything is coke thing explained to me. Still makes no sense.
I think it’s a regional thing in the UK too, but to me it always sounds incredibly 1930s. The Famous Five go on a jolly outing with a big bottle of ginger pop, sort of thing.
Everyone I know calls them”fizzy drinks”. I’m told “juice” is common in some parts of Scotland, but that seems even more confusing than “coke”.
See, one of my parents is slower than everyone else in our family, but nobody really eats or drinks each other’s meal or drink orders since we’re all picky, so it only really ends up being an issue when it’s something we’re actually supposed to be sharing, like an appetizer at a restaurant or a meal at home.
I spent a portion of my childhood in Iowa, yet was born in Texas and returned there, so I can basically use soda, pop, coke, etc, with equal levels of comfort. My sole superpower.
I don’t drink pop as fast as Joyce, but I definitely couldn’t drink it as slowly as Walky either. If you “nurse your pop for days”, it’ll go flat and all the ice will melt and make it too watery.

“Pop” I know it’s a regional thing but it just sounds so unnatural to me.
Where I live, pretty much everything is “Coke”.

Hey this isn’t a huge priority, like at ALL, but I noticed the Cast page goes blank. Is that an issue on my end or yours?
It’s the page.

“Walky and Joyce slowly poison themselves” is not my favorite subgenre.
I thought Walky was the one who chugged soda pop down like a storm drain…
Yeah, I’m on Dorothy’s side. Joyce needs to be stopped.
