In the UK, most people seem to call them "Fizzy Drinks".
If someone asked what kind of Coke I wanted, I'd assume I had a choice of Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Cherry Coke, Caffeine Free Coke, etc.
Ever since I visited Canada a few years ago I sometimes say "pop" but only in an ironic way.

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
