He'll be back with the milk someday but till then:
MisterMoo, 
So absolutely no one calls soda pop?
BigJim, It’s called pop in all of Canada too. An easy way to spot an american tourist is when they say soda.
Staiden, Fuck yeah. From my understanding Faygo was a big reason we call it pop. Rock & Rye is probably the greatest flavor of any pop.
Goodbyeworld, Chicago will take tree hot dogs and tree pops. Tanks.
drunnells, 
From places that I have lived and worked - in western NY it is Pop in Rochester and Buffalo, but somewhere between Rochester and Syracuse it becomes Soda! Also, it is quite shocking to go to Texas and be asked “What kind of Coke do you want?”
pornhubfan, I once lived at the soda/pop border:

SuiXi3D, 
Meanwhile, me, in Texas:
All soda is Coke.
BeMoreCareful, I can hardly express my terror when I first moved away and ordered a coke and they just handed me some random ass coke.
Like they didn’t even ask what kind I wanted.
iamdisillusioned, Are you saying in Texas to order a drink you’d go, “I’ll have a coke”, “what kind?”, “Sprite”…?!?
BeMoreCareful, Yeah, I basically only drank sprites at the time lol
SuperSoftAbby,
SuiXi3D, That’s amazing.
danieljoeblack, We call them pop in Canada too!
AbstractLinguist, Also Michigan and much of Indiana (not sure of Indianapolis and south of there). You get a little bit of it in western NY state too.
I grew up saying ‘pop,’ but have acquiesced to saying ‘soda’ once I moved outside of Michigan.
Steveanonymous, 
Oregon rep the pop mfers
railsdev, I thought this was an Iowa thing
Tekchip, 
This seems to apply to most of the upper midwest. Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio etc.
From Iowa, can confirm.
Jck2905, From Wisconsin. Can also confirm: soda = pop and water fountain = bubbler. I remember my first trip down south. I got laughed at at a rest stop asking for pop and held that shit as a core memory for years.
eezeebee, 
You know smoothies?
We call 'em blendies
cfi, Can someone tell me what Rock & Rye Faygo actually tastes like, because ive been told that it tastes nothing like a Rock & Rye cocktail
Braysl, Very sweet coke, if I recall. I haven’t had any faygo in a while since graduating from uni in an area that actually stocked Faygo.
Shorn, Red cream soda I think.
kani, They call it pop here in North-East of England as well.
interloper, Spot on!
Peepolo, And the north west 👍
BeMoreCareful, I once announced to a room full of Minnesotans that I was going to get a pop.
The shameful walk to the coke machine felt very lonely as I contemplated all that had led me there.
Staiden, I was in Arizona recently and a waiter looked at me like I was an idiot asking what kind of pop they had.
BeMoreCareful, They were probably just confused.
Grilipper54, Odd, I’ve been in MN forever and I’m looked at like an idiot for calling it soda.
BeMoreCareful, I never heard anyone up there call it soda either.
