Gave up on the "soda"(we call it soft drink in aus) a few months back after a fairly painful visit to the dentist. He said it was alright to drink in moderation, however i decided to go off it completely. These days i drink water mainly, milk and juice sometimes... not the mention the occasional beer... but thats a different story.

I grew up calling it soda. I moved from the city to the suburbs and they called it pop. I like "soft drink" now

I've lived in Upstate NY most of my life and have always called it "soda." I lived in NYC for a year and it's "soda" there too. I think anywhere from Syracuse eastward it's "soda." But the fully looks are less than 80 miles away, and I get them whenever I'm in Rochester or Buffalo and am offered some "pop."

Having said that, I tend to waver between Diet Pepsi and Orange Fanta, though I've been drinking far less soda lately than I used to.
