"Pop" is by far the most commonly used term among English-Canadian speakers to refer to a carbonated soft drink – although "soft drink" itself is widely used, particularly on signage and menus and by Quebec anglophones. It is also widely referred by the brand name of the soft drink (such as "Coke" or "7up"). "Soda" or "Soda pop" is used by some. In French, a soft drink is referred to as une boisson gazeuse, or informally as une liqueur (likely a shortened form from the seldom-used liqueur douce). The use of liqueur in this fashion is distinctly Quebec French; in France, liqueur refers to a very specific set of aperitif and digestif alcoholic drinks.Wiki
My state(Kentucky) is split right down the middle between Coke and Pop.:lol:
It is funny how th regions show up (South, New England , midwest, and Californian region)
Personally I just refer to the brand name, though Pop is my generic name I use for store brands.

[QUOTE="btaylor2404"][QUOTE="GabuEx"]There are hardly any Pepsi fountain machines down here. Pepsi's kinda a dirty word :P. I never really understood the love for one product and the heavy opposition for the other. They taste so similar, so I like to switch it around. Right now, I've got some Pepsi Throwback, which is pretty good. Though out of all of the Cola drinks I've had, I found Jones Cola to be the best.How does that work to call them "Cokes"? How do you ask for a Coke, as opposed to a Pepsi, if they're both "Cokes"?

Me either, maybe just an old habit. But if you put 99 cups of Pepsi and 1 Coke I could find the Coke, there's a huge difference for me.
