It was always "soda" growing up in our house. My parents are both from NW PA. I say "soda" as do my kids. However, when my brother moved to Cinci and never came "home" he was converted to "pop".

Funny side story, when my dd was about 4 we were at a gathering and someone asked her is she wanted a "pop". She turns in a circle saying "daddy? where's daddy?". The woman was completely confused. i thought it was funny. Still do! My kids always called my dad "Popster".

So yeah, it's "soda" and I grew up in the south. Also, interestingly enough, If anyone ever asked if I wanted a coke, it was a coke I was served. So I know folks say that about the south...that every soda is a coke, but coke is a coke is a coke. Nothing else.

It's soda here in NY. The only place I have heard Pop is in NC.

I grew up saying pop, moved to Minnesota and started saying soda, and continue to mostly say soda, but find myself saying pop too. I live in Texas now, and I think most people raised here say Coke. I still find it hard to specify "hot tea" when I want tea. Here if you order tea it is automatically thought to be iced tea, in the north, most people assume it will be hot tea.

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my word preferences.

The only person I've ever heard say pop is my stepdad, and my mom when she tries to humor him.
