I used to hate "pop" instead of "soda" too. However, it's more widespread than you know. Utah calls it "pop" and so does the west coast. It drove me crazy when I moved from Virginia or Oregon and would say "soda" and people would look at me quizzically. I used to think, "oh, pleaaase, you have to understand what I am saying." Then I would say "pop" instead and they would say, "Ooh."
