What do you say? Pop,soda,or Coke?

Question

I read the newspaper a long time ago about how people in certain areas of the U.S call the bubbly stuff pop,soda,or coke.
My aunt toled me how people order Coke to drink but it wasn't the brand of Coke,it was pepsi,therefor they called the bubbly stuff "Coke".

Tell me what you call the bubbly stuff,even if u drink it or not.

I am interested in what you will respond.

Answer 1

When I lived in NY we called all brands soda. If someone asked if you wanted a Coke, it meant Coca Cola.

I moved to Texas where Coke was a generic term for sodas. If someone asked you if you wanted a coke, you might answer, yes, I'll have a Dr Pepper.

Weird, huh?

Answer 2

I said "soda" growing up in Western NY; now that I'm in GA (i.e. Coke Country) I say "coke" and most of my neighbors will shoot on sight if you dare bring home a Pepsi product (small exaggeration)
