SODA POP: The
American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "soda pop / soda / pop"
SODA POP / "soda"
Form the left hand into an "O." Bend the middle finger of the
right "spread" hand at the large knuckle and stick it (the middle
finger) into the left "O." Then remove the finger and slap
your right palm over the hole.




Sample sentence: Yesterday I bought coffee, tea, soda-pop and candy.
Types of SODA:
COCA-COLA: I recommend you just spell the word "Coke." There is a very interesting "legacy" version of the sign (see below) but it is very common to see adult native Deaf signers just spell C-O-K-E.



The sign for "Coke" as in "Coco-Cola" looks as if you are jabbing a needle into
your arm. It is done by using your dominant hand index finger to poke your
non-dominant arm's bicep.
It's true folks. I'm not making this up! And I'm not talking about "cocaine." I'm talking about the drink.
COKE ("Coco-Cola" soda-pop)




DR. PEPPER:
Spell D-R, then make a "P" handshape and bounce it in the air twice as if shaking pepper from a jar.
VARIATION: You might also see this sign done by
spelling D-R, then using an "F" handshape bouncing twice in the air as if
shaking pepper from a jar. The circle of the "F" represents the lid of the
pepper shaker.







PEPSI:
Imagine using the tip of your little finger to draw a big "check" mark on your forehead. The sign doesn't actually touch your forehead though.
ROOTBEER:
To do the sign for rootbeer you just
touch an "R" then a "B" to the side of your chin.
