I can't believe the game refers to soda as "pop". I'm truly offended! Time to start a petition and call Jack Thompson...

The Good: Inventive setting; quality dialogue and voice acting; great cutscene animation; nice character upgrades; amazing soundtrack.
The Bad: real 15-year-olds don't pass out at 2 a.m..

In Michigan All soft drinks are refered to as "pop".

Soda is selzter water here. Same people who call thier soft drinks soda, are the same people who call thier nikes "sneakers".

Tennis shoes, and pop. Not, Sneakers, and soda.

I'm from Buffalo ... what's this soda thing you keep talking about?













BTW - If you are going to use the short-hand form ... Pop is correct, not soda.

Technically, soda now is a superset that incorporates beverages that come in the non-carbonated variety; loganberry, etc. … and carbonated beverages; cola, etc.

When one wants to use a single word to describe either subset, the colloquialism is for soda to represent no carbonation, and pop to represent carbonated ones.

The history stems from the original artificial drinks being termed sodas … and much later similar beverages added carbonation – they were dubbed soda pop.

YOU DID NOT JUST BRING THAT UP.

Soda/Pop is like religion... it has nothing to do with logic, it's all about where you were brought up... I mean in the south they call most soft drinks "Coke", regardless of whether it is a cola or not.

Don't talk about it... it can only end in bloodshed.
