It's extremely common here in the midwest.

I started ironically calling it sodey-pop. Now it's just in my vernacular.

Where I grew up in the Midwest everyone calls it pop, including me growing up. When I joined the military and went away some people called it pop, a few called it Coke, but most people called it soda. I started calling it soda in a very sarcastic way to friends and honestly over time it became normal for me.

So even after I got out on the military and came back home I still call it soda, and now I'm the only one. It still feels natural to call it soda. So many of the terms I got used to in the military in my early 20's have stuck with me for life.

I grew up in Illinois. I won't bat an eye, because I will get it. That was me for 27 years until I moved to Florida and began saying Soda.

For the first 14 years of my life, when I lived in Ohio, I called it pop.

I switched to calling it soda when we moved to Arizona.

Either of "pop" or "soda" work, since the actual name is "soda pop."

The only weirdos are those that call everything "Coke."

I'll never get people who get super fierce in the pop vs. soda debate. Literally both are correct, and they should be joining sides against the true heathens.

This is one case where blue and red must join together against the blatantly incorrect green.

It's soda pop. Both "pop" and "soda" are correct. Just like if somebody is John Smith. Both "John" and "Mr. Smith" are correct. However, the "Coke" people are basically calling John Smith "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar."

I will agree the coke people are FAR more incorrect than the soda people, like to a ridiculous extreme more incorrect.

Maybe the south only had Coke back in the day. I mean some of them were pretty isolated so they may not have gotten deliveries of anything else

Eh, that may have made sense if it was the entire south, or even entire specific states, but it's not. It's a random blob that encompasses some parts of states but not all of them.

And, therefore, we should judge these people accordingly, obviously.

In the UK they just call it a fizzy drink.
