Had a friend come to NZ from Canada. She said pop, which confused the shit out of us.
"Anyone want me to get some pop while im out..."
Er... what? blank look.
Generally we state it by its branding, "I'll have a coke" "Ill have some 7up"
_No one_ calls it pop, and _no one_ calls it soda.
To the guy who asked what would you call the chilly bin of assorted soft drinks it would be, "ones filled with fizzy drinks", which would generally be followed by the question, what type of fizzy drinks, then answered coke, 7up, fanta etc etc.
