Pepsi or Coke for Paramount Parks?

I avoid the whole pop vs. soda debate. I'll ask for a Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, or root beer. If I want to use a general term, I'll just call it a soft drink. The reason is that using "soda" or "pop" discretely is more or less meaningless. If you say soda water, you are getting somewhere. Use soda and pop together and you will get soda pop. Coke and Pepsi are both soda pop, but neither are a soda or a pop.

Right now, I'm drinking a Pepsi lime. I am not drinking a soft drink though. Emeril on the food network might say I kicked it up a notch.

I personally perfer Coke products. I like variety even more so I buy some Pepsi products as well as others.

On the whole 'soda' vs. 'pop' debate, I always here it called either soda or soda 'pap' when I'm in the States. In Canada, it's always pop. Same way when I'm in the states I confuse people with my 'zed' as opposed to 'zee'. My last name starts with a Z and if I'm checking into a hotel or something where I have to spell it, I'll say "Zed, O, N...." and the person gives me a wierd look and says "You mean Zee?" I just say, sure.

Is that like that old rock group, Zed Leppelin?

If I'm not mistaken, the US is the only country that says "zee" instead of "zed". I try to use whatever is the "norm" for where I am, though. If I'm outside of the US, I'll use "zed". If I'm in Ohio, I sometimes say pop, but I try to avoid that because I think it sounds dumb now. LOL!! I'll just avoid the word usually.

The arguments were worse at Penn State, where half the students are from Popsburgh and the other half are from Sodadelphia.

I spent a chunk of my childhood in Boston, so I've always called it "soda".

I just don't like the sound of the term "pop" - but I call it that a lot more now that I've been in Ohio for 15 years. :)
