Pop? soda? or coke? or soda pop?

Just wondering, as far as what your generic term is for a “carbonated drinking beverage”? Do you usually use the term “Pop” “Soda” or “Coke”? I know down in the southern states in America, they just call everything Coke? They’ll ask you, “What kind of Coke do you want today”?

What’s your take on this? I usually just use “Pop” but if somebody asks me like “What kind of Pop”? I’ll say “Ok, I’ll just have a Coke then.”

    Used to call it all Pepsi as a very young kid just because that was the first one I ever had. Somebody even OFFERED me a "soda" once, and I didn't know what the hell they were talkin' about! Funny related story, I used to think the hiss when you opened a bottle was it sayin' it's name; "Pepsssssiiiii!" The short answer though is "soda"

    I usually say soda, sometimes pop, if it's a coke or pepsi product. Even then, I will call it as it is, fanta, sprite, rootbeer, coke, cola, mountain dew, dr. pepper. etc. These things have names.

    If it's just seltzer with flavor I call it bubbly water.

      Random thought? Soda and Ice Cream together? I know some people say they do this? Like put root beer on top of vanilla ice cream? What do you call those maybe?

    If it's a cola, like Coca Cola or Pepsi, then I call it a coke. If it's any other flavour, then I call it a fizzy drink.
