To be honest, this is a regional affect: from a strictly North American standpoint, there are three major ways to call flavored soda water, each coming from a different region. By far the most popular is soda, used across the United States by all kinds of folk. Of course, a traveler from the States to Canada is likely to recieve an unpleasant shock when he asks for soda and gets seltzer water: in Canada (at least in BC), the word is pop. The least used of the three, and the most regionally restricted, is the Georgia Coke. Due to the presence of Coca-Cola bottling in the state of Georgia, every flavored soda water drink is called Coke, even (I am led to understand) Pepsi-Cola!
