Here in Michigan, we refer to sugary carbonated beverages as “pop”. By my understanding, there are actually places in this world where people don’t refer to them as pop. What do people call them in your state/region/country?

I have actually heard some (inevitably fat and grotesque) midwesterners refer to soda as "pop." These are the same type of people who say other retarded shit like "the car needs waRshed" rather than "the car needs to be washed," and who go through a gallon of ranch dressing with each meal.

in ontario it's usually pop or soda interchangeably depending on variety, or leaving it off all together

The reason why they call it soda in the northeast and pop in the midwest is when carbonation first became widespread in the country, we had only colonized the east. You had to go to a SODA fountain in order to get it, but by the time the midwest got populated bottled soft drinks were available and made a "poping" sound when you opened them

And, as always, the South is retarded and calls all soft drinks "Coke"

yeah mostly, rural southern ontario both east and west
preferred huron area, cleaner water nicer people than where I am now
I think it might have to do with being closer to quebec for south eastern for translation reasons, but you'd still here soda sometimes in the south west
like hearing people say 'some soda' or they'll say 'a pop' but not usually 'some pop' or 'a soda'
it's kinda fucking weird thinking about it

I call it "soda". I've heard it called: pop, soda-pop (only my grandparents, god rest them), coke (as in "what kind of coke do you want? We got root beer and seven-up."), Soft drinks, fizzy drinks, and (once) a sparkling squash.

What do y'all call mixing every flavor at the fountain? My dad calls it a "Suicide", but I've also heard it called a "Graveyard".
