"Pop" and "pop" only. When I leave the Midwest (heck, even the upper Midwest), I don't say it though because I don't want to be INSULTED. I tend to just find clever ways to avoid saying "pop" or "soda" (like "Do you have Coke or Pepsi products?" for example).
I'm shocked how many people say soda. I'm from Canada, and it's always pop, no one ever says soda. We either say pop or the name of the pop (such as coke)
I say either soft drink, or soda. Usually soft drink. But here in Texas, people call everything "coke". If you ask somebody "Hey can you go grab me a coke", it's not out of the ordinary for somebody to say "What kind"? Then you respond "umm.. sprite".
