Coke, Pop, Soda, Soda-Pop, Other?

Funny...I was just corrected on this over the weekend.

I'm from Miami...we've always called it "soda."

Now that I live in Seattle (today marks one year!), I'm told it's "pop."

It's strange for me to say "pop" in referring to soda - that's what we called my grandfather!

Oh well, don't feel weird. I'm a Seattle native that grew up with "pop" but after being in Calif. for four years, I now say "soda"...even though I've moved back to Seattle.

I say pop even though i hear soda the majority fo the time. Give me a Dr pepper anytime

I've always just called it what it is-a coke is a coke, pepsi is pepsi, etc. I never used the terms soda or pop when asking for a drink.
