Settle this very first world debate over pop 😂

Ordered a take away meal deal. It comes with a burger, chips and a can of pop.

I have been supplied with a 200ml bottle.

I think that's fine, close enough to can size.

Friend thinks it's wrong and that they should have supplied two bottles so it was closer to the can amount.

Who is right? (Light hearted!!)

It's A drink, wouldn't have occurred to me that I hadn't got the full 9 teaspoons of sugar.

QuestionableMouse · 10/09/2022 20:14

I ordered coke zero so no sugar!

I'd be annoyed as well. You've been given a bottle that's designed as a mixer, e.g. vodka and coke. I would think they've probably had some problem with the delivery and got given or had to find these as a replacement, or they think it looks more classy and expensive as it's in a glass bottle.
The glass bottles do cost more from memory but as a customer you want the size you expect, 200ml isn't really enough.

If they specifically stated it was a 330ml drink I’d would definitely say something. 200ml is 40% less than you were expecting and I don’t know anyone who would think that it would be reasonable for them to send anything else out missing 40% of the advertised volume so why would a drink be any different? Fine if they’d just said “a soft drink”, but they specified the size and then didn’t bother to give you it when you purchased.

Lucy makes a good point. Only acceptable as a substitution if they also give you a rum miniature.

sanityisamyth · 10/09/2022 20:56

Neither. It's not pop. It's juice!

Juice to me is apple or orange or whatever. Fizzy juice sounds a bit gross 🤔😂😂

In Scotland its all juice

Fizzy juice - coke, irn bru, lemonade
Fruit juice - fresh fruit juice
Diluting juice - squash

FTHC · 10/09/2022 21:09

Nothing to add but...

It's defo pop

(Also I wanna know what they say now)

girlmom21 · 10/09/2022 21:11

It's definitely pop

I thought juice sounded weird until a PP explained it. I wouldn't use it but I accept it Grin

Sorry, I’m from the south, it’s fizzy drinks down here.
pop really grates.

I'm from the south.

We also say fizzy.

But it really didn't bother me that others don't. We aren't saying it right - just different!

I also would have expected as a minimum the amount I paid for.

Sgtmajormummy · 10/09/2022 21:16

It’s also “pop” in large areas of the USA.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 10/09/2022 21:20

It's not fine really. It's 130ml short for what you've paid for

TroysMammy · 10/09/2022 21:20

It's fizzy pop 😃

It really isn't juice in any way shape or form, jock MC tavish

BrownStripePJ · 10/09/2022 21:33

I really want a Parmo now 😅

I certainly wouldn't be bothered if they swapped can for a bottle as those deals sound super cheap already!

Poor you, not bring from the south.

yes, I’m a snob. Sue me.

I thought snobs were at least able to spell.

QuestionableMouse · 11/09/2022 12:51

No answer from them yet and tbh I'm not really expecting one.

Was thinking about what we'd do at work in the same situation. We ran out of big bottles of water recently and were giving customers two happy waters so two of the smaller size.

Pop is dandelion and burdock, Ice cream soda, cherryade etc. Definitely not any form of cola.

GroggyLegs · 11/09/2022 13:18

It's called pop.

Replacement bottle is too small, but not worth arguing about.

The end.

You've been diddled!
