That's funny, I've heard of that being a thing but it really must be regional. My family goes back a long time in western NC, and the way my papa (gran-dad) called it it sounded like "sodey-pop". In Charlotte it was never pop or coke, and even though "soda" is understood, at restaurants people almost always said "drinks" or "soft drinks" b/c sweet tea was so preferred.
