21Historically, the correct term is 'phosphate', which was defined by soda jerks as being a flavored syrup mixed with carbonated water. 'Soda's were what we today call floats. Therefore Soda is clearly WRONG and pop is more acceptable as a shortening of phosphate.

1Michigan people suck. Why do you spreadacross the country so much if Michigan is SO great? Go the hell home to the land where you can use words like pop!
1Pop-I am 65 and remeber going to the "Soda Fountain" and ordering a "soda" , which was like an ice cream float. I also remember asking for a "phosphate" and here I quote "An old-fashioned soda fountain drink made with carbonated water, flavoring syrup and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) for tartness." So soda meant an icecream float, a baking product which was sometimes used to power my brothers little toy submerines, and and also a product to whiten clothes in the washing machine. And phosphate meant what I now call "pop". I don't remember when the term "pop" originated in Michigan, but it did! I taught it to my children, and they taught it to their children. It sounds strange to me to hear it called by other terms, but it is only a colloquialism. If it gets you what you want to drink, then use it. It is fun to debate though, isn't it!
