I know those crazies in Wisconsin call it Soda but us true 'Mericans call it POP!

It's pop! By calling it anything else, you're letting the terrorists win!

Don't let the terrorists win; call pop by it's rightful name

*[sub]Minnesota here. Also, go Vikings[/sub]
Are you from Michigan or Ohio XD

Everywhere else I've lived has called it soda.

I call it soda.

But I've heard a lot of people just call all of it Coke/Cola.
Then you just specify what "kind" of coke you want.

And what kind of douchebag says soft drink.
Man.

I always call it soda. Seems weird to me to call anything else besides "soft drink" very now and then. And I can't seem to say pop in regards to soda without feeling a bit silly. Pop....pop....just feels weird coming out of my mouth.
You obviously didn't see the map, "pop" is almost entirely a No-Coast word, with the South referring to it as "Coke".

It's Soda.

"Soft Drink" is too broad a term, which encompasses all non-alcoholic drinks, including fruit punch, ice tea and lemonade.
"Coke" is a brand name and should refer specifically to Coke-Cola and/or direct variants there of. Not a catch all for all soda.

Guess I'd call them soda in English, but when I run off to grab a Pepsi I say I'm gonna go grab a Pepsi!
Just give me a Pepsi!

It's coke. If it's sprite, it's still a coke, if it's a Pepsi, its still a coke. If it's a Dr. Pepper, still a coke.

It's a coke.

No, we're not native English-speakers.
If I have to use a catch-all name in English, I use either Soft-Drink (due to previous work as a bartender), or Soda.

In English? Soft drink I guess, or more probably by brand.

In Dutch? Fris, or limonade, or, again, by brand.

I honestly use soda, pop, and soda pop. It just seems to be an unconscious word choice. I never use soft drink though.

Soft drink, often I just use the brand name. I can see soda in use, but honestly I think pop just sounds stupid as a name. It's onomatopoeia (bet I butchered that) ffs.

Born and grew up in Texas and northern Alabama.

Waitress: "Do you want a Coke?"

Customer: "Yes, please. I'll have a Sprite."

That's just the way it is.
