What do you call your soft drinks? Also, is it a regional thing or just a habit? I'm actually really interested in how people refer to cold, refreshing canned drinks.

I believe it is regional. BTW, I prefer bottled instead of canned. (Easier to leave sitting around and not collect dust, insects, or spill).

I basically always say soda...I guess usually I call both Pepsi and Coke 'Coke,' and 7UP and Sprite are interchangeable.

If it's in a can, I call it a can, if it's in a bottle I call it a bottle.

Soda. Cause soda is soda.
Though I do agree the terminology is regional.. here in NYC, you have everyone calling it everything.

I call them soft drinks. Regional thing, I believe 
Though I don't really say "soft drinks" anymore, I just say exactly what it is - coke, sprite, cream soda, etc. ^^;

Soft Drink is Soft Drink... right? 
I know my Grandparents call any black drink Coke and everyting else lemonade, but everyone else I know just calls 'em either by their name, or just soft drink.

I grew up for the most part in Ohio where it's commonly known as "pop" but had to revert to using "soda" when I lived in Los Angeles the last 5 years since all my Californian friends like to tease me about using Midwestern wording.

Soda. It's obviously regional as I know a lot of people that refer to it as pop.

Soda, because thats what it is.

It has to be soda.
One thing that annoys me is when I'm buying a Pepsi and someone says "Coke?" and I correct them by saying "Pep-see", and they're like "That's what I said." >_>
Coke is a company of a single soft drink, not all of them. x_x
It's a very regional thing.
(I love how biased the poll is in it's choices.)

I call it soda. I don't know anyone around my area that calls it anything else.
