It is a very regional thing. In the city I grew up in, it was definitely "pop". Where I am now though, I would definitely be made fun of for saying "pop". I decided in high school to say "soda" so that people wouldn't know where I was from, since I don't really have much of an accent from my area, unlike other people I know.

Live in western PA, so I call it pop. Used to live it eastern PA, and called it soda. And what's really funny is that some people in eastern PA don't know what the heck 'pop' is. XD
Usually soda, or the brand name. I do usually refer to all cola as coke, though. I have the odd habit of calling it pop whenever I'm around my dad's family, too.

that's not a very nice description of the names, as if everyone should use soda and if you don't, you fail. anyway, nobody in canada says soda. we all say pop
