It's Coke. Come on guys, you all know it. It's Coke. Someone comes to your house, and what do you offer them? A Coke. "Hi, Sue! Come on in -- you want a coffee, or how about a Coke?"
Sheesh! It's COKE. Get with the program.

It's definitely SODA!!! I'm from the midwest and NO ONE says pop. My aunt through marriage is from Iowa, and they call it pop, and it's SO annoying.
No offense, but it sounds retarded.
Also, people call all soda "coke" in Kansas City, and that's not too far from me in St. Louis. What kind of coke do you want? Coke to me means the "Coca-Cola" brand, not soda in general.
This whole issue is funny

I've always referred to it as pop.
"hey, wanna pop?" (although I guess that sounds like a bad pick up line)
"pop machine"
and the children's song "one bottle pop, two bottle pop, three ...."
And that's pretty much how it is for the whole country. United we stand, divided we fall

If someone said to me, "wanna pop," I know that if I said yes, I'd end up with a black eye.
Don'tcha know the expression, "I'm gonna pop him one!"? It means I'm gonna give him a knuckle samwich!

In California, at least in northern California, we call it soda/coke. I do think pop is like a midwest thing or maybe east coast (b/c the only time i've heard someone say pop was when I was on vacation on east coast and from some people I know from east coast). But maybe it depends from person to person. We could just have a universal language and call it a fizzy/bubbly drink that tingles your tongue and is loaded with sugar
