It's very different. Now I understand what you said about it being difficult to pinpoint. And I agree with your friends, you are getting an english accent.

Same here. It's fizzy drink or the name of the drink- Sprite, Irn Bru, Dr Pepper etc
I might record myself. Maybe. But probably not. Oh, and I also have a friend with a polish accent. It's pretty cool.

According to google translate that translates as "refrigerant." I might use that now, fizzy juice sounds kinda dumb.

'Soft drink' needn't be fizzy, though.
Yes, 'refrigerant' sounds good. Only if we start saying that, no one will understand us.

No, I'm confident it could be made a "thing." I've never heard anyone say "soft drink" except maybe on menus at restaurants.

British Columbians say "soda" weird in my experience. It almost sounds like they're saying "sody". Where I used to live though, they drew out the "ah" in soda quite unnecessarily, so it sounded like "sohhdaaah".

Well I just had dinner, and I was all "Mum, could I please have some refrigerant?" She had no idea what I was talking about.

I said, "Well if you must know refrigerant is the new ~cool~ way of saying fizzy drink."
