I grew up in Mason, OH (Cincy area) and it was always "pop". However - now that I live in the southern IN (greater Louisville, KY area) - I never hear it said as "pop" - definitely "soda".
How about when you hear the word "Please" when you area really meaning to say "excuse me" - I think that is definitely a Cincinnati "thing".
