I'm from the New Orleans area. You'll either here Coke (which will be followed by the question of "What kind?"), soft drink (due to all of the hard liquor that is consumed), or cold drink (Which is even written on some of the vending machines.0

City on the US border in Ontario: pop. Only time we use the word soda is if it's a "cream soda" flavour.
Edit: Sometimes people just say "coke" around here too, but that usually means actual coke or pepsi.0 -
There's a map for that.
This is a topic I've discussed with friends at length in the past.
THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Oh yeah, I just remembered that I also used this information (without the map) as an example in the writing portion of the GRE when I took it a couple of weeks ago.0 -
I grew up in Minnesota, so I said "pop". I was soooo happy when I moved to Florida and could call it "soda". I think "pop" sounds silly. Most of my southern born family calls all brands and flavors, "coke".0

That's amazing and seems very accurate. I went to college in central Illinois and a lot of them said soda when 3 hours north we said pop. LOL0 -
I grew up in Ohio saying pop also but now I moved away and now say Soda......but must say that I do not drink either soda or pop and have not for almost 2 years now.0

I am in california and I say soda, my cousin is from tennessee and she says pop, I was like "what is that?, what is popping?"0
-
i still think pop sounds better, calling everything coke is weird... do they call pepsi coke? weird... i could see if u called each thing by what it is sprite dr. pepper etc. interesting tho. hmmmmm.0

Where I live most people cal it by what it is "i want a Dr. pepper, i want a Mt. Dew" ect0

now that would make sense, saying i want a coke; then waiting to be asked what kind seems odd.
i am thinking too deeply into this lol0 -
Soft drink in Australia...
Yeah, Aussies say soft drink or call it by its name e.g. coke, pepsi max, sprite etc. or fizzy drink sometimes0
