For the record, read the product container. It usually does say "soda". Faygo red pop says "Strawberry soda" last time I checked. In this example, "Faygo Red Pop" is the name of the product, and "Strawberry Soda" is the description of the product.
Soda by itself is only conbonated water, and yes, you can get plain "soda water" as it has now come to be known.
The old time fountains used to mix this soda water with flavouring, creating a much better drink, many of which were unique. It all depened on the fountain guys imagination and taste buds.
Ok now pour some in a glass and hold your nose over the glass. Feel the bubbles as they pop about 2 inches in the air?
If you breath in, you can almost taste what flavour it is.
Cool!
Darn, I'm thirsty now.
I'm going to get myself a pop.DANG DANG! DANG!!™
I know ***** ripped off everybody else, but they wouldn't do it to me.

I used to live in Washington state, and they said "pop" up there, but I could never get myself to say it. It just sounds too silly to me.

Here, in the rest of the world, we say "drink"!
Code:a> Would you like drink? b> yes please! a> what would you like, we have coke, pepsi, fanta, oj, h2o b> (if he/she is American) - a soda-pop please (everyone else) - coke, pepsi, etc...

Personally, I specify the beverage to avoid confusion, so I will usually ask for a Dr Pepper. Most people here in Texas will want a coke (which is usually actually a Dr Pepper). My grandmother calls them a pop, though she has lived all over the states, so obviously her dialect has more northern roots. I also know of someone who asks what kind of sodee water you want (yes long e). Living in the city which was the birthplace of Dr Pepper renders most people's preference as Dr Pepper, so that dispels much confusion. Most restaurants here do not carry Pepsi, and I am likewise depressed when traveling that many do not carry Dr Pepper out of the south.

I don't actually know of any restaurants that carry Dr Pepper (besides those corner take-away shops). Most restaurants here do, however, carry coke.

Ugh I'm sorry if you guys in Australia have Taco Hell. That is such nasty food. A disgrace to tasty Mexican food.
