as you can clearly see, it's "pop" in the vast majority of this country.
So? They are wrong. Pop is a sound. It's a sound. As in snap crackle pop. Soda is a beverage. It is soda.
And that's exactly why it's called "Pop"; it's the sound made when you crack open a bottle.
In the early 1900's in Detroit, the Feigenson brothers that started Faygo were initially bottling beer and soda water. The were bakers by trade and played around with adding the same flavors they used in their home made cake frostings to soda water and the end result was flavored soda water which they nicknamed "pop" after the sound that was made when they opened the bottles.
See the bolded.
Soda. Period.
Pop since 1907.
The nicknamed it "soda pop"
See what's 1st? 1 is the actual thing, one is an adjective and sounds dumb af.
I had a look... I was wrong, the name "Pop" was coined in 1861. The Feigenson brothers did call it "pop", but on their own accord.
soda sounds pretentious and uppity.
