Pronounced "sodie pop".
In the old days younger kids would call it "pop-pop".

I'm not a Scotch drinker, but let me tell ya, Kahlua with ice cream is yummy. I wonder what it would taste like with soda water in it.

We used to call it lemonade here too, but the word has faded in time. It's not used much more by most.

...were the Kingston Trio singing about in 1958?
Or was it "Scotch and Soda Water" just wasn't metrically pleasing?
As for Scotch and Ice Cream, I do use real Scotch to make my home-made Butterscotch Ice Cream, so maybe Scotch, Butterscotch Syrup, and Ice Cream would be pretty good!

My sister and I thought it was hysterical when we were little, and we'd hear my mom's friends talk about drinking "pop" (she's from Michigan).

Because I made the conscious decision to call it that. 
I've always lived in Colorado, but I don't really know what the "Coloradoan" word is. My mom, however, is from Alabama, so I'm used to asking for a "coke" and then being asked what kind. I think they also called it "Cocola."
And then there was my aunt who tried to offer me a "Yeller Meller."

I can join with you in calling it "soda pop". Comes of growing up in New England with Ohio parents!
(Did other strange things too, like instead of the traditional New England Saturday night supper of baked beans, we'd have calves' liver with corn-filled pancakes...)

 For many years, Coke = any and all types of "soft drinks". These days, I do find myself thinking "soda" as well as telling the grandkids "no soda". But, old habits die hard--I voted coke!

To my Kiwi better half, Lemonade = Sprite/7-up

Since one of my fav drinks is Minute-Maid light lemonade, and we both like diet 7-up, we have to specify "American lemonade" or "Kiwi lemonade" in our household to guarantee we get what we're wanting.

they brought them back (a 2nd time) in 5 flavors....I believe i recall liking rootbeer ones. But i am not sure. I remember 'DADs Rootbeer and had a lot of that in the 50's.
I do remember having contests to see who could keep there mouth closed the longest. I'll tellya it was gross when it ended up coming out someones nose. EEEEEUUUUU. We used to laugh about that for hours. Kids. *rolls eyes*

This map is interesting, but I am originally from California and I never heard anyone use "pop" or "soda" until I traveled to the Midwest. In California it is always "Coke."

This is a very similar drink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julmust
I'm not sure how long root beer has existed, but this drink, Julmust, is very old (and also very tasty: it's my favourite drink)
Americans can buy them in the nearest IKEA store

In1972 I met a lady in Morgan Utah that was over a hundred years old. She had come to Utah from Illinois on a handcart pulled by her father. Every year she made root beer. It was marvelous and quite different from the commercial products. It was made from an ancient family recipe and I was not told what went into it.
