I call it "brus".
Yeah, me too... :)

And according to my Norwegian-English pocket-sized dictionary, "brus", in the meaning drinks, translates to "(fizzy) limonade". Not entirely sure I'll ever use that expression...
 
This is very simple:

Pop is a verb. It is what one would do to a balloon with a pin.
Soda is a carbonated beverage.
Coke is one particular (not very good) flavor of carbonated beverage. Pepsi is way better, and 7up has them both beat.

Pop is a verb
Soft drink is a term for a carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage
Soda is a shortened form of "Soda Water" which is unflavoured carbonated water used in drinks like "Vodka, Lime and Soda."
Coke is a brand name of a cola-flavoured soft drink.

I've only heard people around this part of CA say 'coke', but the map says this is soda country.

Coke!

But, I'm from Georgia, so that's only to be expected. :D

Word. When I was attending Georgia State I used to go hang next the World of Coke if I had a big break between classes. Great for people watching. :)
