I’m a Texan and grew up calling softdrinks “cold drinks”..now it’s coke, though.
Never have used soda or pop

That is interesting. I typically use the term coke for all soft drinks. I had actually forgotten the term “cold drinks” until I read your reply but that was a very common term when I was growing up n NW Florida.

That was in the 50s and 60s. I haven’t heard it in a long time tho. Every now and then someone would use the term Soda but it was not common. I never heard the term “Pop” until I lived in Oklahoma.

I am from Texas and we always said Coke or Cold drink. Never in my life have I said soda or pop and I have heard some say soDEE. Did you ever notice how some people would say “coldBEER” ? It was all one word with the accent on the beer, as if to say someone might want a warmbeer. :D
