In NC, we call it by the name brand. Pepsi, or Coke, or Mt. Dew. No pop here.

No, Coke is Coke. That's like calling all cars Fords.
"What kind of Ford do you drive?"

I call it soda or pop interchangeably. Used to say pop all the time but have shifted to both.
When I ask for a Coke I want a Coke. If they say, "Is pepsi all right?" I get a Mountain Dew.

No such thing as a brand called "Coke". There is Coca-cola, Diet Coke, New Coke (hope to God that stuff is gone),etc. Growing up in Atlanta, where Coca-cola is headquartered, it is as Cigary said, soft drinks are referred to as cokes. Now I understand the confusion it can cause but it is not wrong what we say just different than up there. If someone asked me if I wanted a "pop" I'd probably throw up my dukes thinking they were about to swing

It's soda for me, all the way. Pop sounds ugly.
I can remember listening to a southern comedian, Lewis Grizzard with my dad, (who is also very southern), and the joke was, "What's pop? If you don't stop saying pop, I'll pop you upside the head with this coca cola bottle!"

aaaah A&W, I loved their bacon burgers when I was in Indonesia. Didn't care for the root beer though, but the bacon burgers were awesome.
