    As somebody from Tulsa I can confirm that Oklahoma is a weird mishmash of ‘anything goes’. People will literally say “soda pop”.

      Soda pop is the correct term. Soda and pop are just shortened versions.

        I don’t think “correct” really applies here. “Original” maybe.

          Let’s just go with “soda pop” being the formal name. What I’m saying is the shortened forms are secondary.

            The formal name would be carbonated beverage

              That is a superset. Beer is a carbonated beverage but definitely not pop. Pellegrino also.

          The real question is “how do they order other sodas”. The answer is extra steps.

            I’d imagine you just say the name of the other soda. I don’t say “I’d like a Dr. Pepper soda” after all.

            “When I first come to America I wanted a cola and I say ‘cola?’ and they would be like ‘excuse me?’ and I say ‘cola. Cola. Cola!’ but it wasn’t cola; it was cock. Right? You would say ‘i want cock.’”

        Where was that? I was in Georgia for most of my life. Everyone I knew said Coke when they actually wanted a Coke. Soda was the generalized term.

    Wow, the evil forces of “coke” have made significant territory gains since the last time I saw one of these maps. I have never heard a single person call a random non-coke soda a “coke”. I recently moved to a “pop” area, but I haven’t received any push back from saying soda at least. I did hear some old people here specifically call it “soda pop” though.

      The sound it makes is exactly where the name comes from. Also there were people in soda territory also calling it pop as well way back in the day. That’s why the term “soda pop” exists.

      You can see a D.C. newspaper from the mid 1800s calling it pop in this wiki article.

      the term “soda pop” is traced back to the 1800s when seltzer water came into production and tasty carbonated beverages were eventually served at soda fountains in drug stores. Their report indicates “pop” itself caught on as slang, and was prominently used in northern states like Minnesota and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Faygo, the Detroit-based soft drink company, is said to be the first to market soda as “pop” after the sound the lid made when it popped off the soda bottle. Others give a store in Erie, Pa., credit for coining the term in 1868.
