Answer 7

Actually here in Texas, everything is called "coke."  As in, "I want a coke."  "What kind?"  "Dr. Pepper, please."

I grew up calling it "pop" because my mid-western family called it that.

Now I mostly call it soda because if you call it "pop" down south here, people look at you strange.

Answer 14

I for years used the term "coke".  When I left home for the service it was helarious when I asked what kind of cokes do you have.  This was before all the different types they have today.  Usualy it was we just have one "coke".  Now I use the formal "Soda Pop".  I use the entire phrase and even then I seldom use it simply because I know what kind of soda pop I want before I ask.

Answer 20

you forgot coke. in some parts of the country people call any soda 'coke'. this perplexed me. what if they want a sprite? i asked someone that was from a place like this. they said they order a 'lemon-lime coke' lol! thought that was pretty funny.

you should also ask what part of the country they grew up, that greatly affects it.
