You read my mind, I have no beverages in whatsoever. I refuse to lower myself to tap water ::turns nose up at tap:: (it's a chlorine thing) but I have ordered some Pepsi Max from the bf on his way home.
I've got one of those filters on my faucet, which I quite like. Because straight tap water - bleh. Doesn't make for good coffee either.
Generally I've got a case of diet Coke in the house at all times. That's a staple for me. Milk: not a staple. :D

I call it soda, when I was little I said sodapop because that's what my dad used (he's Australian but I have no idea if that's just him or an overall Oz thing), and I currently live in Georgia and for the locals it's just Coke. Coke coke coke coke. And don't you dare ask for Pepsi!

Not sure what's generally used down there.

It's funny because growing up in Los Angeles, it was always "Coke" too. I mean, even if you weren't talking about CocaCola. "What kind of coke do you want?" "Eh...Sprite." What can I say? It's weird.

I'm from the South, so we use "Coke" for everything. Everything. If it's not Brown, then we call it Soda.
But srsly. WHERE IS MY START DATE, BBC? xD

I think we'd even call the non-brown stuff Coke. :D
And I STILL say they'll have a surprise airing where everyone will be scrambling to turn on their TVs, people running out of their cars, weddings suddenly stopped, and so on... ;)

I guess that I'm the lone "pop" person so far. We call it "pop" in Pittsburgh.
I think I've generally heard "pop" from people who hail from the mid-west. Like my extended relatives.
I went for the last option because a) I would anyway :D and b) I seriously, honestly, call it none of those things. I don't even know what I call it. Probably the brand name, I guess.
Now, it's soda. Growing up, it was pop. And when I'm at a restaurant, I will ask what kind of soft drinks they have.
A mass of contradictions, that's me....
(currently drinking cherry pomegranate Crystal Light, which is most yummy)

That's so proper-like! I think I want to hear you ask that the next time we meet up at Disneyland. :D
Pomegranate - that's one juice flavor I don't much care for for some reason.

I'll have you know I clicked the last tickybox extra hard for emphasis.
HA! Maybe polls are the answer to the frustration over BBC programing. :D
We call fizzy drinks either... fizzy drinks, 'soft drinks' or coke could mean Coca Cola or Pepsi or any of the bastardisations.

Woo! It's always nice to get validation for being normal.

I call the stuff "fizzy pop" when I drink it (which isn't often), which even in sunny London is old-fashioned these days - one of my friends calls me "old school" (not sure if that's a compliment or not, tbh).
Fizzy pop! Awwwww. Haven't heard that term before. It's cute.
I'm from Pakistan and it's definitely Pepsi over there.
"Do you want Pepsi?"
"Yes."
"What kind?"
"Mountain Dew."
I don't know. We're a strange country.

Oh interesting! It's like "Coke" with me.
Your question is missing an obvious answer choice:
"OMFG, Michelle, stop obsessing about the DW S4 start date already!!"
"OMFG, Michelle, stop obsessing about the DW S4 start date already!!"
But fandom has gone extra crazy waiting for the start date! So this will help! Okay, it won't really, but it'll be something else to talk about besides the fact that we're all going completely mad.
my hubby is unfortunately from arkansas, and they call it "sody" go fig.
we always called it a soft drink in california, when i moved to washington state it's Pop up here i still say pop mostly.

Sody! Hee. That sounds like grizzled old prospector talk. Or Firefly.
I was just having this conversation with my friends the other day (we do have lives, I swear!). One of my friends is living in Washington at the moment and she calls it "soda". I'm in Alaska and we Alaskans tend to say "pop". My other friend who lives in Arizona calls it "coke". Sometimes I say "sodapop", but "pop" is the norm. There's probably some sort of scientific study of this phenomenon going on as we speak...quite possibly being conducted by the same people who created the glow-in-the-dark popsicles. O_O
"OMFG, release the DW S4 start date already!!"
SERIOUSLY! I'm so freakin' anxious, DW is on my mind constantly now D: Not that that's a bad thing...but it makes real life seem completely dull. I also blame my horrible procrastination on DW :D
*goes off to watch DW to avoid coursework*

GLOW-IN-THE-DARK POPSICLES??? Why haven't I eaten anything glow-in-the-dark yet?? Clearly this must be remidied!
And DW is a GREAT thing to blame lost productivity on. I might blame when it comes to my ficathon assignment. Which is also DW, but let's not split hairs.

Grew up in Michigan, called it pop. Moved to South Carolina, call it soda or coke. But the biggest culture shock was ordering a large tea and getting some sort of thick brown syrup so sweet it would rot stone..I was not amused. Darn concoction hadn't been within a fifty mile radius of a tea leave.

Grew up in Indiana, but had relatives in Georgia, so I knew about the tea. But it's always a culture shock to go from one to the other - from just ordering "tea" to ordering "unsweet tea" (AKA, OMG please just let me sweeten it myself!). *snort*

I called it soft drink, and then picked up "soda" after moving to the United States. I think I prefer "soda." It's so handy and to the point. Plus, "soft drink" really makes no sense to me.
Okay, that distracted me from thinking about the last option for about two minutes. Clever!

Grew up in Indiana, which means I should probably just call it "pop". But instead, I tend to call it "soft drink" more than anything, while occasionally still using things like "pop" and "soda-pop" thanks to Southern relatives. :-)
Awww. Pop. :D
You're the drinker of diet Dr. Pepper, right? I got one of those in your honor today. :D

I'm from Alabama and it's soda. The weirdest one of those is pop, which I think always sounds silly.
Also, I love that even this poll has a mention of DW. *squishes* You're so cute.

I'll admit I have used the word "soda" in my life before. But I've never used "pop."
And of course there's DW! I'm incapable of discussing anything else. :D

I'm from Michigan, therefore it is pop.
Also, we have Vernors. Which is amazing. And usually the only pop I drink. So I just say Vernor's.
But still. It's totally pop.
*wants start date dammit!*

Vernor's? Never heard of it.

I call it soda, coke, or soft drink. Although it does bug me in restaurants when I ask for a Coke and they give me a Pepsi. I can so taste the difference. I mean, I don't hate Pepsi or anything, but I have an irrational loyalty toward Coca Cola. Yeah, I don't know either. :P
Ooh, yeah. I'll usually choose something else if it's diet Pepsi instead of diet Coke. I just don't like the taste of the diet Pepsi. Now if we're talking regular (which I never ever drink), I like the taste of Pepsi better than Coke.
I grew up saying pop. Since moving to New England, it's switched to soda (Erich sometimes says 'tonic' which really screws me up).
However, soda still comes out of a pop machine. Figure that one out.

I am the one from Aussie and we call it soft drink.
I have never heard anyone call it POP, or Soda pop.
Sometimes its refrred to as fizzy drinks, but most poeple call it soft drink....
my input

Shoot. I was kinda hoping for some cute slang from Australia. Or...anywhere really.
It's totally irrational, but I absolutely loathe it when people call it "pop." "Pop" is an action, not a drink. Soda, Coke, soft drink ... but NOT, fortheloveofallthat'sholy, "pop."
And I can only drink Pepsi with a slice of lemon in it; it alters the taste just enough to make it drinkable :)
Of course, I'll happily put a slice of lemon in my Coke, too.

BWAH!!
And I love putting some lime in my diet Coke. Mmmmm.

Traditionally, it's coke. But when I lived in New York I had to switch to saying "Soda." But I stuck with coke out of regional loyalty.
NEVER EVER POP.
NEVER EVER POP.
I'm thinking you could get beaten up in New York for saying "pop." Heh.
