Yes, this thread again. People are starting to derail another thread by discussing it so I thought I'd make this thread. Except beer but I just added that for humor.
Around here people either call it Coke or Soda... That's it. If you say "pop" in south Alabama you'll have people looking at you like you're an idiot.
Who the hell calls every drink a coke? That's just weird. It's soda. Or you can call it a soft drink. But pop sounds fucking stupid, and coke is a brand name.

I worked as a waiter in Auburn last semester. It was pretty common to have people ask "what kind of coke do you have?". I used to do it too. This is the deep south though. And I think we're the only area that does it.

Aw, you totally wasted your 1000th post on me. But yeah, it's weird to call it Coke. But I guess it's kinda like people calling every tissue a Kleenex.
I just say the brand name flavour of what I want, but when speaking in general terms pop is the only correct answer. People that say soda sound mentally challenged to me.

People that say pop sound mentally challenged to me. I guess we're at a stalemate.

It's at least somewhat common in europe. Some countries refer to all soda as coke.

Pop is for Yankees. If anyone even thinks about saying that word in Alabama, we'll know you're a Yankee. We can smell Yankees within a 100 yard radius of any bar/restaurant.
@Commando: I don't know what yankees you've been talking to. Here in the CT we call it soda. I was also going to make a joke about the second part, but that would've been in poor taste, and I would've shamed myself by saying it.
This thread has been made before... anyway, I'm near Chicago and call it Soda. A lot of people I know also call it soda. I have heard people call it pop, but rarely (North Suburbs). Closer to Chicago a lot more people call it pop.
@Commando: I'm from New York and if you say pop you're going to get beat up,,,,,,,,, seriously, so obviously the middle ground here is hillbillies in West Virginia call it pop

I had a great chili cheese dog in Alabama once. "
You can go ahead and say the joke. I've heard plenty of them. I know it's all in good fun. I have 3rd cousins who live in Massachusetts, and they called it pop.
" Anytime someone says pop i feel like im talking to a five year old.... "
Thank you! It's like when an adult says 'tummy' instead of 'stomach'. Or honest to God, I've had adults say they're gonna 'go potty'. I want to punch them.

To be fair, Massachusetts is a bit...odd. But hey, at least it's not Rhode Island, right?
Seriously. The US would probably be a bit better off if we could just cut that whole state adrift and send it out to sea.
I'm from Australia and most people here call it "soft drink", weird huh. I almost think people should be calling it soda, or pop. Definitely not soft drink...
