Popular Names for Soft Drinks
Shoutout to Alan McConcie for surveying data for a county-wise breakdown of the preferred words for soft drinks in the United States. The majority of the East and West Coast prefer the term soda, while the Southern States use Cola when referring to fizzy drinks. Soda is derived from soda water, a key component of the drink.
The North-West and the Mid-West use “pop,” a term that was first coined in 1861 though some say it was by a British poet in 1812.
