I called it pop for 20 years until I joined the Army. After living in the South for 6 years, it is now soda, and I feel like a tool when I go home to the Chicagoland area and say soda.

Soda is the real one. Those folks in WI call "pop". Me neighbor across the street calls it pop. My poor kids were so damn confused when he asked them if they wanted a pop to drink they didn't know how to answer.

All soda is SODA, until you are talking about specific ones, then is coke, pepsi, etc.

It's all called coke, although it's more likely to be Dr Pepper.

I put pop on the grocery list, but I drink soda
:-)
I was from that area in Central IL where it was borderline, and called both. I have been in TX now for 11 yrs, and do not call anything coke but Coke.

When I lived in upstate NY many moons ago I referred to it as POP, and people still do to this day in that region.
I now call it - SODA

Called it Pop when I grew up in MN, then moved to VA and was quickly ridiculed by other kids for that, so switched to Soda. I also picked up the southern habit of calling any soft drink "Coke" and then asking what kind.
