When referring to surgary carbonated beverages, would you typically call such drinks "Soda," or would you say "Pop?"

Or, are you one of the special animals that just says "Bubbly" or "Coke" or 'BIG, BLACK DICK?"

Prepare to lose some friends.
 
Here's a map of who says soda vs pop (thx for your dox btw)
Here's a far more detailed interesting map for autists like me, that unfortunately doesn't have soda v pop but does make up for it with a lot of other distinctions

I say Soda but I know a lot of people who just call all sodas "coke" too. I never liked when people do that.
 
In Boston, it is a tonic, as in "I'll have an orange tonic"

Also in Boston, at least traditionally, if you order a milkshake, it will contain no ice cream. If you want ice cream in it, you need to order a frappe.

This has probably changed a lot in recent decades with more mobile populations. But it was firmly entrenched at least until the end of the 20th century.

I am not Bostonian, so I say soda, like normal people do. But there are Bostonians a stone's throw away from me right now.
 
I'm a "soft drink" person but I definitely prefer "soda" to "pop".
 
Growing up, the locals in my area always called it "pop," but since my family are a bunch of filthy transplants, I picked up on their "soda" speaking lingo.
