POP.

That will never be as bad as calling it ‘lemonade’. Ever.

It’s SODA! I’m from Georgia and it’s soda. Even though in some places you can call just about anything Coke as well. Like I can order an orange coke and get orange soda.

EDIT: until they make orange flavoured Coke. Soda Gods help us, then.
