"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.
Yeah that’s why we just say soda water.
Agreed, but we say pop around here.
