Wasn't pop music so called because of the saccharin sickly sweetness of it's sound?
Many thanks to BFM_MiG for the awesometastic siggy!!

pop = "popular" when applied to music, art, culture

apparently the "pop" in soda pop came from the sound of a cork when they opened the bottle (back in the day).  It's true, I googled it  ;D

As you have noted Key, some call it Coke. -nods- I'm one of them. Woot for the good ole South!

ex: "Hey, I'm going to the store, want a coke or something?"

"Sure, I'll get me a Dew."

That's just how it is where I live. = )

Oh... and "v.v" = sad face.

See, soda or pop are fine, but coke? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Coke is a specific type, so to apply it to all is simply outrageous. "What do you want?" "Oh, I'll have a coke." "Which kind?" "Coke." "I know, which kind, sir?" "I told you: coke!" See? When you say you want a coke, you want that horrible tasting, brown carbonated beverage that kills your teeth so much that you can actually feel it doing it's evil while drinking it.

Anyone who calls it coke should be ashamed! Ashamed!!!

xD

It's just how I was raised. >.>
I can't help it that I'm a 'Bama boy. Coca Cola was here first so yeah... plus it originated in Georgia. So yeah... I know it doesn't make that much sense, but that's just what I call it. xD

Edit: Woot! First to vote for Coke. = )

soda my friend. 
if you ask me to slow down when racing, then you are out of luck buddy. I AM AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER!!! 
the fastest way to a point is a straight line, no matter the danger, i like to take chances, I AM A RISKY DRIVER!!!
