Hah, here’s a breakdown of “Pop” vs “Soda” vs “Coke” by State.
And yes, I can vouch that Texans indeed do call it “Coke.”

My wife is from Ohio, and calls it pop. In the east, we call it soda.
When I grew up in the East-—way back-—we called it “tonic”.
.
I drink water most of the time since we got a refrigerator with an ice water dispenser. Maybe I’m boring.
to us, soda refers to all carbonated soft drinks, soda water or carbonated water if it is unflavored. New Yorkers would call that seltzer.
Nope. Not boring. Probably a lot more practical/ healthier than me. But it is great to have if you like soft drinks (not just soda but fruit drinks, too). Actually, we drink less than before because it actually is a treat. My theory is that the drinks are more satisfying.
After finding out Oxfam is affiliated with Coca-Cola and is a big supporter, I will no longer buy Coke products. And I'll look for a SodaStream package.
“Pop” is also a Canadian thing.
I’m just now reading about these Oxfam people. There’s just a bunch of stuff available- RC Cola (of all things), one or both of the clear drinks, all kinds of orange.
We got ours at Amazon & it’s just the basic unit. The 1 gallon bag of syrup lasts the 2 of us a month to 6 weeks. I think it’s about the same for the CO2 bottle.
After Snapple took out Dublin Dr Pepper, I was going into withdrawal & “regular” Dr Pepper is just nasty. This is still the hfcs version, but it’s 1000 times better properly carbonated & over ice.
I all but guarantee you’ll love this thing.
I thought hockey was.
It looks like soda is becoming a conservative symbol, between the far left's nanny state and their continuing hatred of the Jews.
