  There are maps documenting this. People also say Coke in parts of the south.

  I agree. I was raised in GA. We say Coke or Miuntain Dew. The only two choices.

  I lived in So Cal for 45 years and now Ga for the last 30. I rarely use either but I would mostly likely use soda.

  I agree I do mainly say coke over soda even if talking about a Pepsi product. I have had times I do say soda. Soda was fresh on my mind after watching a YouTube video that talked about this. I even herd that pop may have came from Canadians but I have no evidence to back up that just like the idea that some Scottish call it a fizzy

  Traveling all over here's my take: I'm technically from the south so I call it "pop" and I always ask for a Coke but will drink Pepsi. In the midwest I hear "pop" more than "soda" but everyone there asks for Pepsi over Coke. Northeast - soda, always soda Florida - when you say Coke all they can think about is Cocaine. California, they don't even know what soda/pop is, they just drink filtered water.

  Here are a couple of interesting linguistic maps on the pop/soda/coke controversy: [view link]: Note that soda is dominant in the Northeast and Southwest, pop is common in the northern and Great Plains and the Midwest (except around Milwaukee and St Louis), and coke is widespread in the South from East Texas to Georgia. In my IL/IN part of the world, people are split among pop, soda, and soft drink (my preference).

  Pop is what they call it in places where the family trees don't branch off as much as they should.

  Pop. We hardly got "Pop" growing up; it was an occasional treat; and never before 12 noon (that much was drilled into us). I call it "Soda" now to fit in with everyone else and to not sound like I'm a hick from Ohio.

  Depends on whether you are referring to multiple pops on viagra while drinking a soda.

  Went to a baby shower today. Couple women asked if I wanted a beer or a can of pop. Maybe they were inviting me a bored housewife threesome and I didn't know? lol.

  Here in the midwest we usually say pop. I have heard soda before. You only say coke,pepsi or mountain dew is that is especially the kind you want.

  That's like asking semen or spooge. It's six of one, a half-dozen of the other.

  "Pop" seems a little more common in the Southwest, but not by much. You're more apt to hear the brand name.

  The full term is "soda pop." Why would you shorten that by removing the noun rather than the adjective? It makes no sense. The correct term is pop. Period.

  Growing up I've always heard the term pop. As for my preference, I will state specifically what type I want, Coke, Sprite, Mountain Dew, etc.
