Soda, Pop, Coke or Other?

I find this fascinating. What do you say where you come from, referring to the generic form of soda.
Check out this map. It may be the coolest map I have ever seen.

Personally, I call it rust remover.
I'm from Chicago. I'd say I hear 2/3 of people here call it pop, maybe 1/3 call it Soda..
i use a tissue. it's generic target brand
advertising assaults only work on the weak-minded. thus, no surprise the south can't wrap their heads around more than one name and just call it all coke.
Zing!
It's better just to move.
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all
Yeah, you have to cross the county line to say 'Coke'
I say soda. It was a big issue at Penn State when I was in school the Soda vs Pop debate.
Maps are very misleading and geographers love to make them. I make them for a living. (my screen name gischick stands for GIS - Geographic Information Systems - digital geography)

And it really bugs me when someone asks me what flavor of coke I want...not meaning regular, diet, cherry, vanilla, etc...but meaning coke, pepsi, sprite, root beer, etc. Ok, it doesn't bother me, but it's weird.
ebay isn't evil people are
The South is Much Obliged
A question I have been asking myself too...
