Soda, Pop, or Coke? Generic Names for Soft Drinks by County {Gadling}

May 12th 2007 5:43PM I grew up in ft worth. I do remember people who said "coke" for all soft drinks but it's hard to believe it was the overwhelming majority that the map shows. we used to make fun of people who did that. our family always said "soda water." now I just say 'soft drink." but i still mean "dr pepper."
