We had a rather vocal debate in the chat room about this earlier. What generic name do you call soft drinks?
Here's a map of the United States organized by use of generic soft drink name

Its Pop, dammit!
"Run..." Was his final word as he exhaled for the last time.
I vote Soda. Sorry man... Pop just sounds so...... so.....
Wrong.
Other. If you're from the old south and it's carbonated, it's a coke. Always. From Texas to the Carolinas, it's a coke. FL is a little different due to the diverse nature of it's inhabitants. It seems like I never heard it called the same thing twice there.
I've had this debate before. The only time I ever hear soft drinks called "Pop" is in some oldies movie or one set in a time period before I was alive. My mother calls it Pop so I always assumed it was a generation thing, but it appears to be regional.
Oh, by the way, it's SODA!

Okay I'm from Texas and we call them all Coke. Conversation goes like this:
"Hey you going to the kitchen?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Can you bring me a coke?"
"Sure, what do you want?"
"Dr. Pepper."
Don't know why but that's just the way it is.
I'm sad I missed this debate.
Geographically, I should call it Pop since I'm from Western NY. But I've traveled to about 35 of the 48 continental United States and 2 different provinces in Canada, so I'm used to calling it Soda Pop to make sure I don't confuse anyone. And when I cross the Mason Dixon line, I call it coke. It's important to understand different cultures when you travel around this great country of ours....no matter how frappin' silly it is.
