I live in Minnesota and have always called it pop. When I went to Wisconsin for school, everyone calls it soda. I know it is called both by different people and by other names by some. I was wondering what you call it. Also, where are you from because it seems to be a local thing. If you call it somthing else, what do you call it?
I grew up in Maryland and live in Florida. Only person I knew in those areas that called it "pop" was my grandmother, which is odd because she lived in that area all her life. I have friends in Wisconsin, and I hear pop quite a bit up there.

WI seems to be a transitional state for dialects. I hear people with no accent, a Chi-caaaaaaah-go accent, and the full-blown northerners who sound like the people in "Fargo".
