Juice and Soda in the UK

[ericadawn16]

So, my mom and I were at Epcot last week and this was on a chalkboard that they use for trivia questions in various places:

What do people in the united kingdom call soda?

Naturally, we were intrigued. We'd assumed they called soda...sods so we asked the nice lady from Scotland, who sounded just like Amy, what soda is called. She said "pop" which was bizarre. Pop, just like a Northerner! Then, she said some call it juice which is even more bizarre still. How does that work? If I asked for an orange juice from that person, would I wind up with a Fanta?

That reminds me of when I visited the US form New Zealand. I asked for lemonade and was expecting a Sprite and got got sometihng made from real lemons it was delicious I might add.

Being an ex brit if you ask for orange Juice that's what you would get.

Oh, lemonade made from real lemons and real sugar is just heavenly! A lot of the outdoor events here will even have free or reduce priced refills for lemonade.

Thanks for answering!
