mom's side of the family is from Colorado, and grandma always uses the term pop---but, she did grow up in Brooklyn

Dad grew up in upperstate NY near Buffalo and used the term soda

my parents always used the term soda

here in the South there's the ongoing "I'll have a coke" Okay, what flavor coke do you want? etc etc

And DH loves sodas out of a glass bottle..always tastes better. ONe of my favorite memories growing up was going on a sunday ride with my parents, and getting a cold bottle of soda out of the machine--insert 10 cents and pull it out---come to think of it, in Arkansas, where we were stationed, they used the term pop a lot.
