having a soft drink regardless if that's what I order or buy when
I get there. If asking someone to pick it up at the store I specify
what to get if its not a Coke. I'd never ask someone to pick up
some soda pop, I'd be afraid they'd bring home some of that
Fanta shit.

In California, it was the same.

In Georgia and Abalama, it was either "Pop" or "Coke", depending (it seemed) upon the age of the speaker.

Living in Scotland I mostly hear juice or ginger as the generic term as in
"Can you get me a bottle of juice at the shops"?
"Sure, what kind"?

Of course In Scotland the usual answer is IRN BRU.

Yup. I'm about as west in New York as you can get. I'm about a twenty minute drive from Niagara Falls (well, thirty minutes until they patch all the potholes).

When I lived in Los Angeles, it was "soda."

Now that I live in Texas, I still say "soda," though I have worked with people who use the term "coke" for any soft drink.
