1st off, it's not just
Midwesterners.
I think pop is acceptable and I am from the Midwest. I've heard that people in Texas ask what kind of
Coke you have...which is all kinds of messed up in my head unless you are asking what
Coke products you have and not what types of
pop you have.
I think there are 3 acceptable terms: pop, soda, or soda pop
You can't refer to what is inside of your plastic cup as
Coke or
Pepsi if you are drinking Mt. Dew. Pop is a general term for types of carbonated soda.
