What do you call sugary, carbonated, unhealthiness?

[Autumn]

I rarely drink fizzy drinks anymore, usually I call them by brand name but when it comes to the Pepsi/Coke family it's just "I wanna Coke." Used to be pop when I was younger.

Fizzy drink, usually. I used to say soft drink before realising that was silly because it includes anything non-alcoholic.

Ahaha, that's a point - I'll drink fizzy drinks as a mixer for alcohol, but never usually by themselves, so they're never a 'soft' drink, and it also means on the occasion I do drink coke by itself, it tastes weird because there's no vodka in it.

Soda. "Coke" happens much less than you think, I promise you.

It's basically always pop. I... don't usually need to talk about it at all because carbonated anything just tastes revolting to me so I avoid all fizzy drinks like the plague.

Hey, wait a minute. Is it pop or is it fizzy drink?

Fizzy drinks are anything carbonated, including mineral water. "Pop" is the "sugary unhealthiness" this thread is about.

 

[Stormecho]

Basically that. I can't stand pop, but that's because it falls under the general umbrella of carbonated drinks. Sparkling water or juice are just as unpalatable, as is champagne. Even waiting for it to go flat doesn't make it taste any better.

I typically call it by the brand's name, or in general I just call them sodas

 

[Minish]

I call them fizzy drinks, but I don't drink them. Never have.

(Related: my teeth are superb :D)

Alcohol generally is probably a bunch worse for your teeth than sugar-free fizzy stuff, you know. :P

 

[Dannichu]

True, but I have alcohol maybe once, twice a month. Most fizzy-drinks drinkers have it daily, and it's worse for your teeth if you drink it while they're still growing. I wasn't, it may surprise everyone to learn, a very boozy 7-year-old.
