I call it pop but JMJSelect is right. The south calls it Coke because Coke was HUGE, and still is in my opinion, in the south because that's where the "Coke capital" (Coke HQ) is.

I say Coke, and I never hear someone saying pop.

I've lived in the South my whole life (unfortunately) and I've never heard anyone at all refer to all soft drinks in general as "Coke." The term I'm used to hearing is "soda." When I hear someone say "Coke" they mean the actual name brand, which makes perfect sense. Coke tastes different from Pepsi, which tastes different from RC, etc...

That's weird, 'cause I have too and I hardly ever hear soda.

Grape soda doesn't taste anything like real grape. I like to refer to the flavor as "purple."

Where in the South are you from. I to have lived in the South all my life ( I love it here and am proud of it) and I have never heard coke called pop or soda. The only time I have ever heard soda is on the Andy Grifith Show. Its all coke in Alabama.

I would say "Pop" over "Soda" any day, as I think <michaeljackson>"Hey, you wanna soda"</michaeljackson> sounds gay.

In real world I think I would say, "Hey, you want a coke or somethin'"

So my answer would be "coke or somethin'"

Replace XXX with the drink you want to say

"Would you like a XXX?","XXX anyone?"

Hehehe, less debate and less headache...
