    Florida here. I don’t say Coke for all soda just for a dark cola. But Coke is just the first brand I think of/want when it comes to Soda. Like the most ubiquitous.

    If I want a Root Beer I’m gonna ask for that. But I’d never fucking say Pop.

    I’d say Soda for the general.

      Florida here, I say Coke for standard cola style soda and will use it to reference soda in a general manner if discussing with someone obviously from the South. I use soda as well.

      My wife grew up with pop and Pepsi as her regional standards. I make sure to reinforce soda and Coke as the correct standards since I’m not insane. ;)
