For those that were kids in the 90's...do you remember "Swamp Water"?
Swamp Water was a mixture of all the pop (or "soda" as Finns call it) at the party or wherever you were drinking pop.
Coke, Pepsi, Sprite/7-Up, Root beer, Cream Soda, Ginger Ale, Mountain Dew...whatever was there - you mixed it in together to create "Swamp Water".
Well, I found a mixture of orange and Coke-a-Cola....it's called Mezzo Mix and doesn't taste too bad.

So may this be a lesson to you - whenever you go out and ask for a "pop" - Finns will give you the "WTF?!" eye (unless they know the word).
It's not called "pop" here...it's "soda".
Or just simply stick with "a drink of ________". I often forget that "pop" is an odd-ball word here and then when I'm about to grab a cup at Subway, THEN the cashier is like, "OH you meant soda."
