its because people originally called it soda pop. in indiana they say "coke" instead of soda for some reason, no matter what type of soda it is.

At least that makes sense, because Coke is a brand name for cola which is just a more specific kind of soda, the most generic soda at that. So yes, that makes sense. Pop I don't get though.

Look on the Wikipedia page for soda. Demographically it's more popular here in the west. However, "pop" is becoming less and less frequent. I only hear adults from the southeast say "pop" anymore.

While "soda" is a deprecated noun in chemistry referring to a sodium compound, it's not only obsolete but only scientific allowing it to be used in common language

Well you didn't REALLY explain it other than "it used to be soda pop" which isn't really an explanation because the "pop" still had to coem from somewhere.

I've had glass-bottled sodas. They don't pop.

Exact same explanation. Pepsi is also a brand of cola.
