Why do Americans call blankets "comforters" and why

Just be glad the entire English-speaking world doesn't speak cockney. That could very well have been the alternative.

A comforter is the top layer on your bed, the thickest and most decorative part. We have blankets too.

Also why would you call pop, soda? Cant you hear the fizzles and pops from the carbonation?

To bother you, specifically.
Appears to be working.
Oh, and BTW, its "Surrup", not "Seerip"

a comforter is not a blanket

Calling soda "pop" is autistic and corny as fuck.
And comforter refers to the outermost blanket that is usually thicker and more decorative than the others. Canadians are uncultured plebs, no shock there.

No we don't. Comforters are a specific type of cover. Blankets are another.

They are both covers not blankets. Sheets are another sort of cover.
