Pop, soda, soda-pop, coke, or something else?

When I moved to the southern USA I was told we don't say pop down here.

@coffeedimplez Even when you drink coffee or coke? If I were you I'd avoid alcohol. Lol :)

@NankerPhelge Here we have soda water...it's just bubbly water...not like coke and ginger ale and stuff...am I telling you something you know already?

@Fernie I thought it was bubbly. The drink I was told was called "soda water" was bubbly. I was 10 at the time and at first I thought it was lemonade until I was told otherwise.

@NankerPhelge soda water IS bubbly...but it isn't soda...like Coke...it's drunk with fruit flavors or plain for adding hard liquor. It is also referred to as Tonic water...too damn many names
coke, typically.

coke or soda.

I'm from a 'pop' region, although my wife insists on calling it soda because she thinks pop sounds stupid. So I kinda switch now.
Pop or soda, sometimes Coke (no matter what flavor)

@PrivateHell Wow you say all three?
@coffeedimplez I like to mix it up
Do people still call it a soft drink...?😅 That was a Cali thing...

@Haniazed I knew I was forgetting something lol
@coffeedimplez LOL I think it’s the least common...it’s either that or soda for me.

Here we call it pop.
Many people will call any cola "coke".

Soda but I think we also called it pop.

Soda, that is the official term of the soft drink industry, it goes back to a time when soda bicarbonate was the source for carbonation.
In England they probably call it fizzy doodle bop or some goofy shit

I never call it ‘pop’

@SW-User What do you call it then
SW-User

Any of those will do on a hot day.
