"Pop" vs "Soda"
I once heard the term "tonic" used. Blew me away.

Instead of soda or pop my family said cold drink(Texas )or CoCola. Years later it did change to...Coke.

The Definitive Breakdown of "Pop" vs "Soda"I was wondering why Yankees will bring you a Coca Cola when you ask for a coke. The correct response (of course) is to ask what kind (Sprite, Grape Nehi, Dr Pepper, Cola, etc). They just don't seem to get it.

I remember both terms being used together as when the announcer at our baseball games used to say:
"Come to the concession stand and get your ice cold soda pop, it'll make your ears go flippity flop, freeze your teeth, curl your hair, make you think your a millionaire.
On a 90+ degree day, he was pert near right.

What about the classic East Texasism "sody water"? Or has this been lumped in with the overly precise "soda"?
