As the "akshewly" guy, soft drink refers to softening hard water, which is basically any normal water, as the minerals in it makes the water "hard". CO2 makes that water "soft" so all carbonated drinks are "soft drinks". And an even more technicality, it's all about the acidity. Minerals, especially those like calcium, causes the PH of water to go up, and thus leaves hard scales on objects. CO2 is slightly acidic, so it reduces the PH closer to neutral, and thus helps to prevent scale buildup. And as an added historical fact, the first soft drinks were "holy water" bottled from naturally carbonated springs and sold as medication and sanctified cures for all sorts of maladies including moral ones.
When she spoke of people getting thrown into a dumpster for calling it pop and having to crawl out with the raccoons, I ended up thinking of Silvervale looking out of the dumpster, ears sadly splayed, while Snuffy looks on in confusion.
If you ask for a Coke and they say "is a Pepsi OK" you can be at least 90% + sure the establishment has an exclusive deal with Pepsi, and vise versa. If you know their line up and don't like Pepsi (which I don't) I can go for Mug root beer or anything they have on offer. I've seen places though that have Coca-cola and Dr. Pepper which is a Pepsi license so it's not 100% chance.
Howdy! Southerner here! Coke is specifically used for Coca-Cola (or the other stuff lol), soda is the general term. Also, I hear "pop" in some places means a punch to the mouth, whereas here, it means a light spanking. Growing up, you'll hear parents say, "Imma pop you" a lot if a kid was being bad.
I live in Idaho. Some people say "pop," some say "soda." I call water fountains "drinking fountains," cuz you drink out of them. Don't all fountains have water?
those soda machines in gas stations or fast food are soda fountains but have an option for water. Outside like one of those chocolate fountains they have water. Those are the only two other type of fountains outside the lawn decoration type of fountain.

Another thing that people call the item by its brand name is Band Aid. When it is a bandage.
And in the UK they call vacuum cleaners hoovers.
Don't forget photoshop as a verb! Adobe really hates that.
being from boston i've never heard the world "bubbler" said with a distinct "er", only "bubbla" lol
3:35 a friend of mine will always order Pepsi and if they ask if coke is okay he will say no and order something else or leave.
"Bubbler" is particularly hilarious because it also exists in Boston for seemingly no reason, except we say "bubbla"
Australia also calls it “bubbla”!

Don't come for my bubbler. Water fountains are decorative lawn ornaments, you can drink out of a bubbler.
I like calling them sugar water.

I was born in Minnesota and it was pop, I moved to Hawaii and it is soda and I hear that in the south it's cola
I know people who call carbonated drinks fizzy drink, it's all pop to a Canadian
