Obviously, it's pop. It was a rhetorical question.

    I usually go with either "Do you want a drink." or "Would you like a diet coke, diet mountain dew, Pepsi?"

    It's strictly regional. In OH where I am now, it's pop. In NY where I was born, it was soda. It MA where I grew up, it was tonic. It's coke where me sister lives in GA.

    Here's a map:

    Ya say anything other than Coke here in Georgia you may be taken out back......

    My mom is from Michigan and she told me a story when she moved down here in high school she went asking other students if there was a pop machine to which everyone just gave her weird stares. Eventually the principal came up to her and had called her mom. They thought she was saying pot machine.

    Kinda funny but eh, it's Coke you pop and soda people ...stay outta my state! !)(!*&)(**& lol

    i say soda.

    but it's not anything i'm going to get into a fight over. if you say "pop," i think i can tell what you mean - and isn't that the most important part?

    In New Mexico it's Coke...regardless of the actual brand. I've lived here for 25 + years and it still drives me nuts. It's both...soda pop.
