I drink Pop and bake with soda.....
I live near DC and everyone (including my own kids) order "soda." I am from SW Michigan and grew up listening to WLS, WCFL and watching the Cubs and Garfield Goose on WGN.

It's called Soda over in Wisconsin.
When I was growing up, and went to visit family in northern Minn. it's always called Pop up there.

Next you will be telling me they DON'T play Euchre.....

Soda.
But I used to live in a place where all sodas would be referred to as "cokes".

What/Who is Euchre? Only the most popular card game in the US prior to the civil war. It was an import from England. After the war, Poker took over and now Euchre is only played in the Great Lakes states.
At one job I had, there was always a game going in the lunchroom. They (we) usually got in 3 or 4 games during a 45 min lunch break. (and still got to eat!)

Bob Uecker is the radio announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers. He's a former Major League player, actor (Mr. Belvedere, Miller commercials ["I must be n the front row!"]), and general clown. It was obviously a poor pun.

Oh, I remember this, when I first moved to Mississippi. That was very confusing!
I usually just ask my husband, "Would you like a drink?" indicating any. I guess we don't drink enough pop around here to say "pop" very often, but when I do, it's "pop."
When I first moved to the Midwest, and they called it soda, I had no idea whatsoever what they were talking about.
But i have lived where they also call it sodapop.

I grew up in NJ calling it soda
Then I went to college in western NY where the locals call it pop but the college was so mixed people said both
I moved back to NJ and soda land
Briefly in western NY but still called it soda in pop land
Balitmore: soda land
Spent about 6 years in western NY and learned to call it pop
Have been back in soda land for 3 years and go back and forth
My relatives are west of Chicago and all say pop
