    I grew up a 'Coke" and married into a pop.

    Growing up in the upper midwest it was always "pop", never heard of "soda" until I moved to eastern PA. I thought the term "pop" was limited to the upper midwest, didn't know the term had made its way to western parts of PA & NY. The things I learn on Sawmill Creek

    When I was growing up it was mostly "soda" but some relatives used the term "Soda-pop".

    The only time I heard "Pop" when growing up was exactly that way: "soda-pop"... and I didn't hear it very often.

    Another southern Ohio boy here. It was always pop but sometimes coke was used instead of pop.

    To this day the best drink I ever had was when the family was traveling from Ohio to Warner Robbins GA during WWII. We stopped for gas and got a real Coke, in the bottle from one of those 5 cent machines that stored the Cokes on hangers in a tub of ice. For a boy of 6 that was heaven.

    Here it was either Pepsi, Coke, or soft drink.

    Try a Coke made in Mexico, icy cold. You may relive that moment.
