Pop? And you’re in Tennessee? Did you grow up in the Midwest?
We drink Coke in the South. Or maybe Cheerwine.
Yeah we grew up in NW IL. But pop (either Coke or Pepsi) was almost daily for my wife. Me... only during high school years. Then maybe once a week (my mom’s, and then my wife’s, cookies and cakes provided an ample sugar fix for me).
But I've also lived in South Carolina and now Florida and people call it soda pop.
My wife has a diet Pepsi for lunch everyday but that's it. I don't partake.
My daughter-in-law is from Canada. She calls soda ‘’pop’’. Here in NJ we just either say ‘’a soda’’ or use a particular brand name. I gave up the booze thirty years ago. I drink Sprite. Love the stuff.
