I may be able to shed some light on this 'lemonade' thing....

Circa the end of WWII, American forces were occupying or remained in other countries which did not, at least as a rule, drink soda. Lemon-lime soda was apparently very popular with the servicemen at the time, and they naturally circulated it among their friends in whichever country they were staying in. To this day, in Japan, there is a soft drink brand called Ramune.... Ramune is a mistransliteration of lemonade, but they actually do make many other flavors under the name of Ramune, including the usual cola, strawberry, cherry, grape, and even some less common ones like mango and (of all things) octopus. If Germans call soda lemonade, I'm thinking that you can probably blame the Yanks. The weird thing is that I've never heard it called lemonade here in the States, at least that I know of. Maybe lemonade was easier for non-English speakers to say than 'lemon lime soda', or maybe it was just a regional thing which fell swiftly out of use.

Pop is pop. A soda is a drink made with carbonated water, syrup, and ice cream.
