I'm in Savannah, GA. It's not pop or soda. It's Coke (it's used as a generic term like Kleenex and Xerox).
Subs. And fireflies.
We also say "fixing to" instead of "going to/preparing to," "tote" instead of "carry," and "carry" instead of "give a ride to." For example, "I was fixing to make lunch, but we're out of bread. Can you carry me to the grocery store and then help me tote the groceries into the kitchen?"

I grew up near Chicago with a mother from Philadelphia and a father from Detroit, and I am now in Vermont. So, it's soda pop, both lightening bugs AND fireflies, and most of the time, it's grinders instead of subs like I used to call them.0

Texas:
Everything is called a coke. When you say you want a coke, you will be asked which kind. I guess subs? And lightning bugs for sure
We also say yall of course, and some countrified folk say 'aint' and 'fixin to' but not all Texans. Ok, ok sometimes I'll accidentally let a 'fixin to' slip but it's rare. Oh, and something my Colorado born husband doesn't understand.. the word 'pallet' and I don't mean the wood kind. Anyone else use that term?0 -

Ditto above in Missouri - in the city - out in the country the only exception is the occasional Sr. citizen still calling their couch or sofa a davenport.
