I'm from Indiana and I say soda, but here's the thing...I learned it from spending a lot of time down south. Mostly Houston, but also Tampa and Gulf Shore. When I would ask for a pop, they would have no idea what I was talking about, so I adapted. When I say soda here people know what I'm talking about, but when I say pop there they have no idea. Pop is just some hillbilly/hick word. They couldn't pronounce soda so they looked at eachother and said, "Hey Earl. This here drink's makin' some kinda popin' sound." "You're right Hank. We should call it pop, since I can't read this word on the side of the bottle. What's it say? Sssss...aw...day?"

VOL Dumb-down:

"Sssss...aw...day?" = idiots trying to pronounce soda.
