I remember calling everything a coke. I would go to a restaurant and say "coke please" and they say "what kind? we have sprite, mt. dew....."

Then in New York it was Soda and then I moved here (Ohio) and everyone says pop. That's what I call it now but it took awhile to get used to that.

As for the suckers... that's what I call them now. Growing up they were lollipops but when in Rome...


Sorry...it's CosmetologyMommy

It was Tennis Shoes, not Sneakers. And Bag instead of Sack.

Soda or Coke and Lollipop for me. In fact, I wish I had a soda and a lollipop right now

My2Beauties replied: It's pop and suckers for me. But for real to be perfectly honest, a "pop" is a coke, even if you want Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Mt Dew, whatever, it's I want a coke!

kayla's mama replied: I always say soda and suckers.

BAC'sMom replied: Coke and sucker here.

mckayleesmom replied: I say it all actually....



BTW...One time I wore new shoes and my friend said I had "nice new Tenny runners"......... ...I had never heard that before.

CantWait replied: it's POP, not soda
SUCKERS, not lollipops
Runners, or running shoes, NOT sneakers

MamaJAM replied: I live in eastern PA -- here we drink soda, eat lollipops and we wear sneakers.


I have a good friend who lives in New Zealand -- it took us a while to get used to the language the other uses. For weeks - every time she told me her son needed a "new nappy" - I thought she was being 'cutesie' in saying he needed a rest. And it really freaked me out that her newborn was sleeping in a 'cot'.

Sometimes I will say Lollipop but not very often.

My3LilMonkeys replied: soda & lollipops here. Sneakers too.

Crystalina replied:
I've said lollipop once or twice and you would think I was speaking a strange language. Izabella said "what's a lol, lol, lollipop?" That's just how I was raised to say to it. My mom refuses to say sucker. She says it just doensn't even sound appealing or educated.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well Coke is everything carbinated, or Pop. Never the soda pop part at all just one or the other.

Our kids get Suckers, unless they get those huge ones you only get every now and then. The ones that are as big as your hands, those are lollipops.

All gym shoes are Tennis Shoes or Tenny Boppers around here. They boys only have two kinds of shoes it seems, Cowboy boots and one pair of Tenny Boopers. They may have 5 pairs of boots though~!

ilovemybaby replied: Sucker is a bad word here. Like loser. I just couldn't call lollipops "suckers" LOL

MommyToAshley replied: I've called it cola, soda, or pop... depending on where I lived. Right now, in Ohio, it is pop.

I use the term sucker for lollipop, but DH uses the term sucker for a popcycle. How weird is that!

Bee_Kay replied: Up here in MN, it's POP and SUCKER....

my BIL is from mississippi and he calls all pop, COKE ... I'd never heard of that before... to me COKE is coca-cola. But, soda in general, is pop.

luvmykids replied:
Here the word for that kind of person is similar, but it's "Suckaaa!" lol

Celestrina replied: Soda and lollipop. I once worked with someone who called "soda" "pop". We teased her a little when we found out.

Edward's Mommy replied: I have always said soda and suckers. Since I was a little kid...and I was born and raised in Colorado. My dad is from Pennsylvania and he calls it pop and lollipop!

MM'sMama replied: For me its soda and sucker. I'm in CO too.

CosmetologyMommy replied: we say gym shoes, pop and sucker. I am in Illinois!
