    Soda is an always has been the right term, but the people who say “coke” to mean any soda are the most wrongest people in history

      I agree, but I also don’t go around saying “cellophane tape” or “photocopy”, and instead tend to use “scotch tape” and “xerox”. Lots of other people do too. I know that’s wrong too, but it at least partially explains the whole “coke” thing.

      Why though? There’s no sodium bicarbonate in those, only carbon dioxide for the bubbles?
