I could say the same thing about people calling all soft drinks "soda"

"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"

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”.

Whats to distinguish, they are the same drink.

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Dude it makes perfect sense.

The “so” is the first two letters from the word and the “d” is the third letter. And the “a” is obviously because…..

You've changed my whole world

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

At least it's based on "soda pop".
