First, it's a "slice," not a "piece of pizza." We New Yorkers don't have time for all that verbiage. Walk into any pizzeria in the city, make eye contact with the guy behind the counter, utter the word "slice," and within seconds there'll be what you out-of-towners or newbies might call a "piece of cheese pizza" sitting on a paper plate before you.

Oh, you want an entire pizza, eh? Well, that's a "pie." And, noβ€”there's no danger of your pizza man bringing you a fruit-filled dessert; these two types of "pies" are mutually exclusive in New York pizzerias.

Ordering a can of soda (it's "soda" here, not "pop") may result in a comparable amount of disposable packaging; depending on the neighborhood you're in, the can might be placed in a tiny bag accompanied by a straw and another stack of napkins.

Pop = your daddy
Soda = Pepsi, coke, etc...

You "pop" people are uncultured savages.
I has a culture shock with the pop thing but everyone in the Midwest says it lol.

If it's cola ie coke or Pepsi then it's pop, if it any other type like sprite orange, grape then it's soda.

Pop comes from soda pop. So how is pop correct and soda isn't?

All jokes aside this man is right

Its actually soda pop

Some call it soda

Some call it pop

Neither answer is wrong

But i sure as hell have never called a pizza a pie
