"soda" is not also a specific drink though

The only time people say "soda" where I am, is when referring to soda water, which is a specific drink. (And imo a terrible one)

Edit: It's just an interesting difference in language, I'm not making an argument about what's right...

If only there was a way to specify between a "soda" and a "soda water"

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Except soda water occurs in a naturally carbonated form. It’s existed for a lot longer, I think it kinda gets the right to be referred to as just “soda”.

[–] RupeThereItIs@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Whats to distinguish, they are the same drink.

If you want a pop just ask for a pop, silly goose.

[–] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah that’s why we just say soda water.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Agreed, but we say pop around here.
