Here in the USA heartland, we say 'pop', and are shunned by the rest of
the
country for it. Make it 'soda pop'.

However, while in Georgia, I was asked by my cousin if I 'wanted a
Coke'. I
said sure, and she asked me if I wanted generic root beer or lemon-lime.
Seems being so close to Coca-Cola's international hdqrs means that Coke
is
synonomous with carbonated soft drinks...
