Coke is the product Coca Cola.
Pop? Seems like a northern next-to-Canada kinda word.
Soda is what I use when I generically mean a drink with carbonation.

I picked SODA cause there wasnt an option for what i DID want to pick..

I call it whatever im drinking!!!!! -- ITS STUPID TO CALL IT ALL "SODA","POP",etc.........

I would be interested to hear from someone who lives in a dark green county what they call it.

I used to exclusively use pop since I'm from Cleveland, but now I use both pop and soda since soda is used out here.

I get so tired of hearing that "pop" is a Canadian word. Utah, Colorado, Kansas and Virginia are not next to Canada. Soda and pop are just different abbreviations of soda-pop. Coke is just a word that Southerners use because they don't know that all soda-pop is not coke. Its all just regional slang.

I'm in Oklahoma and we drink cokes. I've never heard them called anything else. Go to a restaurant and order a coke, and you say I think I'll have a Mountain Dew, or whatever type of coke you want. Or you ask them what kind of cokes they have.

I use the word soda,or even just say the brand name like Pepsi or Coke etc. The only place I have heard it called pop was in Canada
