Update: Coke is coke. Soda is everything else. Pop is wrong. Always.
Update: It's LOO-E-ville. Anything else is witchcraft.
Update: Restroom is public. Bathroom for at home.
I come from the midwest and I say that these are buns and pizzas. However, someone at my job who lived on the east coast, claims they are rolls and pies.
So D&D end this debate!!
What other foods can you think of that have other names?

Up here in New England we got something going on like that with milkshakes. Apparently, a milkshake is just milk and syrup, but once you add ice cream to it, it becomes a Frappe.
Interestingly enough, somtimes fried clam rolls are served on hot dog buns, but they are still called rolls. Yet we don't do that with hot dogs. Hmmm.....

So a glass of chocolate milk is a milkshake, now? What kind of literalist heathens you got up there? "Well, it's milk, an' we done shook it, so it's a milkshake."

In terms of ingredients... yes. What makes it a milkshake in New England is putting it through the blender to give it a frothy texture. So it is, quite literally, shaken milk.

Where the hell in New England are you?
This man is a liar, I say.
Ok, I might have gotten that mixed up. I know that sometimes Frappes are made with heavy cream instead of milk, and I know that in Massachusetts (where I live) some people say milkshakes are made without ice cream. I don't know, could somebody else clarify this?
I personally don't care either way, I just call it a milkshake whether it has ice cream or not, but I know some people make that distinction.

Actually a Frappe is the use of heavy cream to make a milkshake. Although the distinction between the New England style of milkshake and a regular milkshake is dieing away.
Coke is what people from the LA-esque area call soda. Pop is sort of a midwestern, archiac, ollllllllld ass name for soda, hence the term "Soda-pop" because of the fizzle/pop that soda has because of carbonation. Yeah.

Not just LA. A big chunk of the South too due to the prevalence of Coke.
I've rarely heard the word audibly to describe a carbonated beverage.
Maybe on the east coast they might use soda. Not out West though. Not in my 26 years.
Maybe everyone I know is a heathen.

I could argue about soda pop being pop because that's how the fuck it is (even though I call it soda now to fit in with my new surroundings since I'm a sellout). That said, it's buns and pizza. The problem here is that what's shown in the hot dog picture actually looks like a roll cut down the middle. What the fuck is up with that? What's wrong w/ normal hot dog buns?

That would be the hot dog roll I was referring to.
A pizza is shorter so its what I use, but I wouldn't blink if someone said a pie or a pizza pie.
I usually say soda. If you're real old school Boston though, you say "tonic" (something I only slip into in certain environments).
A milkshake anyplace else is a frappe in Boston. A milkshake in Boston is not like chocolate milk -its much thicker and more like other shakes in consistency (that you'd make in a blender for instance) and does not contain ice cream.
Of course if all this is going to confuse you, you could just drink from the bubblah.
Pop is what I do to people who don't call it soda.

do you shoot them with your six-gun?
it's pop.
I've actually heard some people use "pop" to refer to beer. "Let go drink a few pops" ....weird.
Ah yes, I forgot to mention the midwestern US slang also encroaches heavily into Canada. All those horribly 1950 slang terms you hear from your grandparents? Very common in Canada.
I guess if you like to Jive with the cool cats while downing some pop, though, that's the place to be. It'll be interesting when they start using "to the max."
The hell you say. Coke is the generic term for 'soda' down in the south east. A typical conversation goes something like this:
"What would you like to drink?" "Coke." "What kind?" "Diet Pepsi."
If this irks anyone, then stay the fuck out of the south.
As if I needed another reason.

Meat pies aren't filled with fruit.
People from the city or jersey usually call them pies, because of "Pizza pie" being a popular slang for a pizza in the city.
For hot dogs, rolls or usually a little bit more bread than a bun, tends to be a little bit harder on the crust too. At least here.

I can accept 'pizza pie' if you're above the age of, say, 70?
Otherwise, no, it's called a pizza.
Where the hell in New England are you?
This man is a liar, I say.
And before anyone else starts it, it's called "soda". Not pop, and sure as fucking hell not "coke".
Sprite and root beer are not coke.
In terms of ingredients... yes. What makes it a milkshake in New England is putting it through the blender to give it a frothy texture. So it is, quite literally, shaken milk.
edit:
I grew up in southeastern Massachusetts, but the usage seemed to be pretty common to me through MA, RI, and eastern CT at least.

It is soda.
What the hell is "pop". That's a comic book noise.

I wasn't even aware you had modern products like soda in your barbarous villages.
What do you do with them, pile them against a totem pole and set it on fire during your mid-winter reindeer feast?
And I get water from a bubbler, not a water fountain. :P
Man, what?
Here if you say Bubbler people assume you're talking about a weed pipe with water in it, like a mini-bong.

Apparently it's even more localized then I though.
