>>Never heard this term here. It's Coke that win hands up (I want a Coke), even if you are talking about Pepsi.

>Up here it is called "pop". When I asked an American "Do you want a pop?"... they look as if I'm going to punch them.

>Depends on where you are here in the US. Some areas call it a pop, others a soda, others say Coke, even if Pepsi, which potentially opens the vendor up for a law suit. If you ask for a Coke and the vendor gives you a Pepsi without clarifying that you will get Pepsi, Coke can sue. That's how they reinforce their trademark.

And if they give out Coke when you ask for Pepsi, it makes a little girl with a raspy voice very upset. :)
