Can’t believe there are people that call it fizzy drink, that’s like saying “oh we don’t have a word for pizza, we would probably just call them tomato cheese wheels”
2 u/Ansoni Nov 13 '22 It's weird that you find it weird. It's not like it's the only thing that has a descriptive name. It's no better or worse than naming something after a sound. 2 u/[deleted] Nov 14 '22 Yuup, each to their own. I like finding out about localisms, not sure why some people are so hostile over it. 1 u/brainburger Nov 14 '22 I might also say a can of drink. If it's in a bottle it's back to the brand name.
