Where Did 'Empty Calories' Place?

You want the dumbest topic that will get people absolutely riled up? Then check out this: Okay, you know how Deadspin will do random lists ranked arbitrarily (and next to last is always "being hit by a car," followed by what they consider the worst of the worst)? This one's a ranking of terms for sweet carbonated beverages. Soda's first, soda pop second, pop third, all the way down to "lolly water," which I've never heard and which is, according to Deadspin's Albert Burneko, worse than being hit by a car. And it might be, although Urban Dictionary says it refers to really sweet alcoholic drinks. So... what do you call it? (I'm solidly in the soda camp. And, no, for some reason, he missed "tonic," if you're a New Englander.) (Deadspin)
