Face it, you are all wrong. It isn't Pop, even though some
people like calling it that (and in my opinion, that'
s perfectly fine) and it isn't called "Soda" for the reasons you
may think it is. Soda, Pop, or Soda Pop, was named "Soda" due to it's
chief ingredient: Sodium Bicarbonate, which is a soluble, crystalline form of Carbon. Now, they decided "Soda" because it is easier to say "Hand me a soda" than it is to say "Hand me a Sodium Bicarbonate soft drink." Some
people started calling it "Pop" because of the popping noise that occurs when a can or bottle is opened, or because of the popping noises that the bubbles make.
In all honesty, I
don't care if you say Soda, Pop, or Soda Pop; it really depends on where you grew up, or how informed you are. Please just
stop the quarrels; some are funny, but most are just retards being
bitches.
