Why do northerners call it pop ?
To answer your question, Coca-Cola originated in the South and became the most popular soda, so the name just kinda stuck.

In Australia we just refer to it by its name
Also a fun fact is people in Australia refer to soda as fizzy drink rofl

Because that’s a stereotype that doesn’t really exist anymore. Haven’t had someone say coke and mean soda since I was a kid. Soda = soda Coke = Coca-Cola

I’ll usually say soft drink if I mean from a fountain machine. I’ll say “coke” if I actually mean Coca-Cola, but I can be at a fast food joint and say “coke” and they’ll still ask me which one.

Everything is ‘coke.’

Pepsi is the BFA of soft drinks.
Mr. Pibb is a close second.
Dr. Pepper rounds out the bottom 3.
Think that’s mostly because Americans use 110volts at the wall.
