What do you call soda, soft drinks, Coke, etc. and what region do you live in? (time, people)

Everyone in Michigan calls it pop. If you use the word soda then everyone knows your from out east, or somewhere else.

I remember growing up, some older people in Texas calling a sodie water. I had a great uncle who said sodie water, and liked to smoke SEE-gars.

"Whose got me C-gars!"

Most people in the Portland-Metro area say "pop" or "soda pop". The more proper-conscious say "soft drinks".

I say "soda" because that's how we all said it growing up in California.

It's weird, I have always said "pop" because that's what we say in Minnesota, Chicago and the rest of the Upper Midwest. But as I've gone East to Ohio I've started saying "soda" because I assume that people may not like the word "pop" -- even though I have no causation to think this way. I say "soda" much more now than I say "pop" and I'm sort of "bi-sodal" I guess.

I think Cleveland Oh may still be in the pop part of the country. Its kinda close to those who say "soda", Cleveland is not that far from Pa, but I know most of Ohio still says pop.
