This or That: Soda or Pop?

Geographically we all call a fizzy beverage something different. So what do you call a carbonated can of salt, sugar and calories?

Growing up we always called everything a "coke" in generic terms

We lived in California for quite sometime, and we always called it Soda. Then we moved to Minnesota for a time, where it was called pop. I got made fun of for calling it soda! LOL

Nowadays we call it soda. Heck we just call it by it's name- Coke, Sprite, ect usually.

No... toothpaste is toothpaste, I've actually never tried Colgate, and the washroom/toilet is called "bathroom". It's funny how all this is family and regionally biased.

Here in Alabama, it is what it is... Mountain Dew is Mountain Dew, Pepsi is Pepsi, Dr. Pepper is Dr. Pepper, etc... but to some of the southerners it's all just coke!

I call it soda but everyone in my family calls ALL carbonated beverages "coke". How about a shopping cart? Cart or Buggy?
