I heard one time people call it different things depending on where they live. I was born and raised in Oklahoma and have lived in Missouri for the past 10 years and i call it SODA.

It depends. Soda and coke even if it's a Pepsi.

we say/call them softdrink here, but yes, there have been times people use 'coke' as the generic name, just like 'colgate' for toothpaste.

@noni1959 a lot of stuff here became generic names because they were the only brand available

Soda is Soda water. Pop is most common, soft drinks is used as well. But I would never use the term soda to mean I want a pop. Alberta
