Soda, Pop, or Coke!

My dad worked for the Coca-Cola company while I was growing up so we never had any other product in the house. In fact, we called all soft drinks coke. In fact, most people were we lived would say, "Do you want to get a coke?", but that could mean Coke, Dr. Pepper, or any other soft drink.

Here in Iowa, it seems that pop is the name of choice. Somebody actually did research to find out the prevailing name across the country. Here's the link. Interesting!

I guess, as usual, I'm out of the norm. I'm an IA native and I call it soda.
