I call it soda. I prefer Pepsi to Coke, but I'll drink whichever they have as long as it's not diet. When I ordered soda once, the bartender gave me soda water like seltzer instead of Coke.
lifesaver-I call them tissues not Kleenex. However I call them bandaids and not bandages. It takes too much effort.
I like your list especially the one about sitcoms set in New York being funnier than those not set in NY. It's really true.
