I was raised in an area where it was known as pop. However, I think that word has been coopted. No one says "I'm gonna soda a cap in your a$$." So I vote for soda.
Poll: soda or pop?
ompelle, no matter how hard you try, you will not convince me that there is such a thing as "Ohio." I am not that naive.

I'm all for the new word "bonated" to describe them. Sort of like how weblog turned into blog, carbonated can become bonated. Shorten it more, turn it into bone. Pass me a bone, meaning pass me a sodapop. Woof?

I'm from New Orleans and we always say we're going to get a coke, no matter what flavor drink you get. Weird, huh? Either that or we just say a cold drink. We never say pop or soda here. Don't know why.

You will never settle this one. It totally depends on your locale. It can be called soda, pop, soda pop, coke, pepsi or carbonated beverages it really makes no difference.

I use soda and I hate the word pop. I am from Texas and I hate it when my dad (who was born in Oklahoma) uses the word pop.

In New Mexico we say "soda." My kin in Oklahoma say "pop." I once tried asking my students if they wanted pop and they had no idea what I was talking about. I think it's regional.
