I just realized that you can see what people put for "other" on the pop vs soda site.

some examples include "Jared's ass lava", "A Large Farva" and "grape drank".

I just straight ask for Liter Cola.

Back in the old days folks would go to the drug store and sit at the bar for "seltzer water" mixed with different herbs and extracts thought to give medical properties, this seltzer water was also known as "soda water" or "soda pop" due to the carbonation and bubbles it produced. This in time was shortened to just "pop" or "soda" in different areas.

The pharmacists grew tired of mixing these libations themselves so they hired men to take over this job, they were referred to as "Soda Jerks".

Calling all carbonated beverages "coke" is just ignorant, and I have never heard of that before.

Since you used the word "world" in your question, my English friends call them fizzy drinks.

While I am not one of your English friends, I can confirm that we English do call them fizzy drinks.

Aspartame and Sucralose are two of the most heavily-studied-and-scrutinized substances on earth, and have repeatedly been shown to be completely safe for human consumption.

I did the math once to scale up the study that found aspartame to be toxic to rats. To hit toxicity, it would require that a person consume in the neighborhood of 128 cans of diet coke at once to hit the toxic dosage (the rats were given a bolus dose of the aspartame). If you can do that, gg.

Also it's pop, you philistines.
