If it's coka cola, or Pepsi or another dark color it's a coke, if it's anything else it's a soda.
EDIT:By the way I'm in California

I call it soda, and I'm from Texas.
Alaska's just weird...

It's perfect about Jersey, though. Soda is it's true name!

I'm from western PA, so I say only "pop". I've worked with people from OH long enough to tolerate "soda" but I'd never use the term.

Coming from England, I have never heard anyone say pop. I usually say either soda or coke.
Coke is common where I'm from (SW England) but I have NEVER heard a non-american call them soda, unless it has soda in the title (e.g cream soda).
I call them fizzy drinks though!

By name. Pop sounds retarded, and soda is actually are separate drink, so by name.

From England.

Coke, because I'm from Georgia.

Also, what you're noticing has been known for a long time and studied:

I usually either use the brand name, or just say pop.
But I'm from the good old UK...

In Alaska where I used to live, everybody called it pop.
Here in Oregon, everybody calls it soda.
I've also noticed that, in my German class, we always refer to it as cola. Does this apply to Germany as a whole?

I call it pop or soda and I'm in Washington State.
Or it's just Dr. Pepper, because I swear that's the only kind of soda we drink up here.

Whatever the hell I feel like calling them at the time. Usually, by their name, as not to cause confusion.

Canada, here.
