I grew up in Minnesota, where it was always either "pop" or occasionally "soda pop;" unless you were over 70, in which case it was uniformly "cold drinks."
I have, for many years now, lived in California, where I have never heard anyone use a general term other than "soda."
Even growing up, I hated calling it "pop."
