Here in NE OH, it’s pop. When I lived in NY and Philly, it was soda.

What say you?
 
My parents say “pop”, I say “soda”. We have lived in the deep South for almost 30 years and have not found the "everyone in the South calls carbonated beverages ‘Coke’ ". thing to be true.
 
Both my parents said pop, I say pop. I’m from NE OH but parents were from two different distant states. My idea of “soda” is either club soda or something with ice cream in it.
 
Soda…I grew up in NYC and if I said I wanted a pop I’d get punched in the nose.
 
I grew up in the Midwest where you would call a carbonated beverage like a cola, a “pop.”

Here in Wisconsin, people call them “sodas,” and not “pop.” 🙂

Edited to add, I can remember asking my maternal Gramma for “a can of pop” when I was a kid, and I wanted something to drink. 🙂

I’ve lived in Georgia all my life and I know no one who says “pop” or “soda”. We say coke when we want any type of soft drink. When you go into a store or place an order we specify what type of “coke” we want. Even if it’s not an actual coca-cola.
 
Anyone who calls it anything besides “Pop” is a heretic and I refuse to give them any of my ✨ sparkling water ✨ 😛

Lived much of my life in NJ, now live in the Pittsburgh area. Same as you, soda as a kid, pop now in “the burgh.”
 
In California it’s soda. If you said pop, we’d know you were a tourist. 😆
 
I’m from the GTA [Greater Toronto Area] and everyone here says “pop”.

In the south, everything is a Coke. Then, the next question is, what type of Coke? Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, etc…
 
Which part of the south, @regression? In the part of the South I live in, we’re specific about our soft drinks inc our Cokes which come in several varieties and flavors.
 
Everyone says pop here in Iowa…and my mom and dad both say “warsher” instead of washer. Always bugged me for some reason. I’ve noticed most people their age talk with a twinge of a Chicago accent and the farmers sound like their from the South
