Do you say fizzy drink or juice?

[Marsupilamy]

My husband says juice to refer to sodas. I had only ever heard people use the word juice to refer to fruit juice.

He says it depends on where you live.

What do you say?

I always said fizzy drink, when living in Scotland it took me a while to cotton on that some people say ‘juice’ for fizzy drink!

‘Fancy a juice?’
‘Aye, I’ll take a can o’ Diet Coke’

Juice is from fruit (or veg)
Irn Bru etc can be called pop, never juice.
We never had juice - always pop.
We didn't used the term Squash when I was growing up, though I remember the term from Robinson's Lemon Barley Water that I think sponsored the Tennis 😀

Can of juice
D'lootin juice

Fizzy for well fizzy drinks
Juice for juice or squash

Soft drink - carbonated drink like Coke
Juice - juice from squeezed fruit
Juice drink - juice from squeezed fruit, diluted with water
Cordial - fruit juice syrup diluted with water

Exactly this! Fizzy is Coke, Lemonade, Fanta etc but we say the name of the drink not 'fizzy'.

Juice is fresh (or in a carton fresh anyway) fruit juice.

Squash is diluting cordial stuff - Ribena, Robisons etc.

Minerals for fizzy drinks I'm guessing comes from 'mineral' water? I did ask them but they'd always said it and didn't know where it originated exactly.

Minerals in NI. I only lived there a few years and it was one of the few things I absolutely had no idea what I was being offered when at a play in a small town there were "crisps and minerals" available at the interval.

Irn Bru is Scottish therefore it is ALWAYS juice.

My thoughts exactly!

Pop where I come from

Frizzy drink - soda

Juice - fresh fruit juice

Cordial - the juice you dilute with water

My dad also calls milk cow juice

Have you just met your husband today?

How can you possibly not know that Scots don't understand how to name drinks properly?

Juice is any fruit juice
Pop is anything fizzy
Squash is the one you dilute with water.

We don't have carbonated soft drinks and usually refer to fruit juice as [name of fruit] juice.

I asked DH if I used to call soda, fizzy juice, He confirmed I did.
( I'm a long exiled Scot)
We have a way with words I reckon.

In Scotland- 'Juice' is any soft drink. It covers fizzy, fruit, cordial, squash.

Unless you are in Glasgow where fizzy drinks are called 'Ginger'.

Juice - from a fruit.

Fizzy drinks, or soft drinks - though I tend to call them by their brand name, like coke, Fanta, or their flavour, like lemonade.

Squash - diluted stuff.

Cloud juice - water

Pop

😂 It's not always clear to non-Scots, I'll give you that!

Fizzy drinks - 'ginger'
Robinsons/Ribena - 'Diluting Juice'
Fruit juice - 'juice'.

Since moving to England, I've tried to make things a bit clearer, but there's always been that bit of confusion. No way can I bring myself to say 'squash' or, worse, 'cordial' 😂

Ginger

Fizzy pop for carbonated drinks. Juice to be is fruit juice, like pure stuff. Then dilute is what I say but most people would say squash or juice for that

Scottish here too and ita juice

Also call squash 'mixy up juice'

I say fizzy drink.
Juice is fruit juice.

It's all juice to me.
