Soda, I mostly drink diet coke but whenever available I perfer Diet Cherry coke and Diet doctor pepper. I can't drink non-diet sodas anymore, they taste too sweet.

I usually drink diet, but sometimes I'll get a bottle of Mexican Coca-Cola; it's made with real sugar instead of HFCS, and, believe me, I can taste the difference.

Any taquería worth its tortillas will have a fridge stocked with Mexican Coke and Pepsi, various Jarritos flavors, Sidral Mundet, and Sangría Señorial... mmmmm.

I call it Soda, usually it's regular Coke or Pepsi for me. Jones soda is also pretty good and so is Henry Weinhard's sodas:

Henry Weinhard's root beer, and draught style cream sodas

 

[Ishcabible]

I call it a soft drink.
My favorite would probably be root beer, yeah, so original. I love Jones.

I was born and raised in CT. I call it soda. I now live near Rochester, NY. They call it pop here.

both soda and pop sound awful to my ears. I'll stick with my brand names, thanks.

Wow, that's news to me. So drinking something loaded with poison aspartame and zero nutritional benefit is healthy!?? Since when?

Same here. It's all called "coke". I hate to be a party pooper but here goes:

They told us in elementary school that your body will start to dissolve. That never stopped anyone.

soda is definitly a wierd american thing

ive heard pop in england, but never soda

i usually call it fizzy drink or its called soft drink

i only like juice, water tho

 

[Jigglybootch]

I always have and always will refer to it as pop (in spoken conversation at least). Of course, everyone I've met so far in PA refers to it as soda, so when I say pop everyone looks at me like I'm nuts.
