[Messy Mane 9,032]

I say soda in english

[Dynamo Pad 11,328]

I've mostly always called it soda when I was growing up. I sometimes call it by it's brand name, but I mostly prefer to call it soda. 

[BritishBrony2012 816]

I either called it pop or soft drink

From where we live, we call it soda.  The only time you can catch me saying coke is when I'm referring to the Coca-Cola soft drink and I will never refer it as pop.

Even though English isn't my first language, I've always used the word soda. An old primary school English book of mine used the word soft drink though but that never really stuck with me. Soda is nice and easy to pronounce as well.

[DubWolf 17,263]

Soda, because coke is coca cola  .

Although I guess the same logic applied to speedos and polos could be applied to soft drinks; not all are "coke", but similar enough in nature to be called so  .

I honestly just call it pop. I feel weird calling it anything else.

[RavenholmZombie 1,330]

Despite my lifelong close proximity to the Canadian border, I've always called soda, well, soda

[HeroSparks 232]

I say cans and bottles are pop and if it's from a fountain it's soda

Weird, but makes sense... Btw I call it soda I've rarely ever said anything else with the exception of calling the soda by it's brand name.

[Messy Mane 9,032]

As long as I could remember i've always referred to a soft drink as 'Soda'.

[Pony Flutters 535]

I've always the used the word soda, like the average American.

Coke specifically refers to the cola made from Coca-Cola, and isn't used for any other type of drink. Although I still say coke even when I'm at a place serving Pepsi.

I've called it pop for the longest time, but recently I've started calling it soda. Not all the time, just every once in a while. Kinda catches me off guard.

Soda, from now into eternity.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Soda, because that's what it is.

Coke is a brand, Pop just sounds dumb, and Soft Drink technically describes anything that isn't alcoholic.

[CheeryFox 23,821]

I say what the brand name is -- otherwise it's pop.

[Quadropus 171]

I usually say soft drink or soda, maybe i should combine em. Introducing Soft soda! (That sounds really stupid) 

[Forest 35]

i say pop, i think that's the most common one where i live!

[SharpWit 2,669]

I've seen a map of the united state's showing where people said pop vs. soda, however in my experience it seems more of an age thing where I'm from, making me wonder if that's true elsewhere. I think soda rolls off the tongue a tad bit easier than pop as well.

People generalizing by saying coke should stop snorting the powder and get with the rest of the crowd, and people saying soft drink are generalizing too much because although it preferences carbonated beverages, by definition it may include any beverage so long as it does not have alcohol.

I call them soft drinks, but sometimes I call them fizzy drinks because they're not really 'soft'. If I drink cola, I call it Coke because it's quicker and easier than saying Pepsi, and I like the sound of Coke better than 'cola'. 

[ShinGojira 586]

I pretty much only say soda, but I understand all the terms and will interchange them if need be 

[Lunar Glow 676]

I've always called it "Poison To Our Bodies," but yknow we all have our terms.

[Longhaul 6,870]

I usually call it by whatever brand it is (Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Fanta,  etc.).

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I've always called it soda.
