Nah, I just joined in when someone made fun of your club soda in a bar confusion. What do you expect, it’s funny. When you say really dumb shit people are going to make fun of it. And that you get riled up by what an internet stranger thinks of you calling it pop (which does sound really dumb) while I’ve pushed your buttons for two pages is the funniest/saddest part of all.

What confusion? I was trying to help you out since you apparently didn't know what specific drink "soda" is.

What specific beverage?

Omg, you’re more confused than I even realized. Club soda is a beverage. Scotch/soda is scotch mixed with club soda. On its own it’s club soda, not soda. How can this be so hard for you?

I said soda can refer to a specific beverage and either you didnt know or chose to be obtuse so I gave an example of the context in which soda means a specific thing. Not sure why its so confusing for you

But, only in the context of...a bar. As I pointed out.

Even if you walked into a bar, and asked for "a soda", the bartender is absolutely going to ask for clarification....

You said soda refers to a specific beverage, and your example of that beverage was scotch and soda. But ‘scotch and soda’ isn’t a beverage called soda. It’s called scotch and soda. Scotch is a beverage, and club soda is a beverage. So you’ve given me zero actual examples of a specific beverage called soda.

It’s pretty obvious at this point that you recognize how embarrassing it looks for you to get all flustered that a stranger on the internet thinks pop sounds dumb, but your deflection above is demonstrably false and no less silly.

No, i very clearly said "can refer to" not does refer to.

Yea i mean much better to call everything coke like the people in texas....and pop makes a lot more sense than soda since soda can refer to a specific beverage. But hey, who doesnt like to be vague when they talk?


Found another imposter!

And how am I flustered? You're the one arguing semantics

Distinction with no difference. On its own it’s never referred to as soda. It’s club soda. And scotch mixed with soda is not called soda, it’s scotch/soda. You’ve given zero examples of a specific beverage called soda. So you’re wrong. Own it and stop embarrassing yourself.

That is an example of "soda" specifically referring to club soda, but you're choosing to cling to semantics.

Again, this is a stupid argument. But club soda is quite literally never referred to as "soda" by itself... And you know this.

 

[hawksrule]

It’s not semantics. You claimed there is a specific beverage called soda. Scotch and soda isn’t called soda. Club soda on its own isn’t called soda. So what specific beverage is called soda? And why are you putting yourself through this beating? All you have to do is be honest for once, admit you’re wrong, and I’ll be merciful and end this.

Its an example of the word "soda" specifically meaning "club soda", which is the only claim I ever made. Unless you're claiming the cluba soda being referred to doesn't exist as a beverage until it is combined?

You claimed there is a beverage referred to as soda. You even quoted yourself a few posts above. Whatever beverage you’re referring to is obviously not scotch and soda, because that’s called scotch and soda. It’s not club soda, because that’s called club soda. So what’s the beverage you’re referring to? And this time don’t say club soda, because that’s not a beverage called soda. Stop insulting everyone’s intelligence. You’re not smart, you’re not clever, and you’re not going to weasel your way out of this. Come clean and I can end your pain.

So club soda when referred to in the context of vodka soda is not a beverage? Is that your claim? Because thats an example of soda referring specifically to the beverage "club soda". Like I said, you're arguing semantics. Especially in the context of the entire thing originating in the fact that "pop" is a better term than "soda" because it doesn't refer to a specific beverage. Which I would have thought was lame enough of a point that it wouldnt have been taken as seriously as you did.

It's not soda. It's ...vodka and soda. It's like saying melon is a specific fruit(no, it's not). Soda is a category of carbonated beverages....

Ordering a "vodka and soda" is more or less slang.

A beverage is a drink. That’s it’s meaning. Vodka/soda is vodka mixed with club soda. Club soda is an ingredient in vodka/soda. On its own, as a beverage, it’s called club soda. You know this. You’re not gong to weasel out.

I’ll give you another example. Mac ‘n cheese. Is there a food called Mac? Would you go to a restaurant and order Mac? Of course not. On its own it’s macaroni.

Intransigence isn’t always a virtue. Why are you clinging to such obvious foolishness?

 

[ChiHawks10]

The bigger question, and far, far more important one in all this silliness... is who the f*** ruins their scotch with club soda?

A drop or two of water, sure... or a big whiskey ball. Or even a couple small cubes... but scotch and club soda? A f***ing travesty.

I drank some Macallan 12 with my brother tonight, actually, which is the only reason I'm commenting on whatever the hell this is right now.

I also never mentioned scotch and soda, thats just another example of hawksrule putting words in my mouth.

So club soda was not a beverage before it was added to the vodka? I never said you can order "soda" as a specific beverage, i said it could refer to a specific beverage and gave an example when it does. Just because club soda is an ingredient in a vodka soda doesnt mean the club soda wasnt a beverage added to another beverage. Youre arguing in bad faith and you know it.

Club soda on its own is indeed a beverage. You referred to a beverage called soda. What would that beverage be? Vodka/soda is a mixture of a beverage called vodka and a beverage called club soda. It is not a mixture of vodka and a beverage called soda. You’re being an idiot. And you conveniently didn’t answer my question. Is there a food commonly known as Mac?

I wasn't directing that at you. Just an observation because it was said.

Agree totally on ruining scotch with soda. I prefer mine neat. This weekend we're enjoying some Aberlour 12.

And yeah, this is also an attempt to derail the whole soda debate/argument/event.
