Do you call canned non-alcoholic beverages "pop" or "drink"?

Oh it it does.... I can get in cans/tins from the vending machine at work you know. Still. You now have a long and happy polling career to look forward to. I look forward to many more

euww - orange juice would just be wrong drunk from the lip of a can... it must have traumatised you, which is why you are so wrong about pop...

Actually it's rather a pleasant alternative to pop and you get more than in a carton and don't need to fiddle with the straw.

330mls is rather a lot of acid for you too... it's definately unfucked about with pure juice? I can't imagine it... sounds all wrong. I'd have to pour it into a glass or get a straw. It'd be like drinking milk from a can...

There will be a poll.

tangerinedream is making me do it...

But basically, following on from his thread/poll - cans of coke / ginger beer / lemonade whatever... do you call them cans of pop or cans of drink?

I call it pop. I use 'drink' as a verb.

Unless you're discussing grape drink.

tangerinedream - I am resisting every impulse i have not to PM you and tell you that "drink" is in the lead... but you'll come and see it for yourself soon... you can't resist...

In Scotland it's either called "juice" or "ginger" for aereated beverages.

Where I was, it was invariably "juice" which always prompted the response "This is nae juice" from any kid when given something squeezed out of real fruit.

Drink.. I thought a can of pop was an expression from upt North
