soda pop

Bubbly sweet drink

Soda pop is a sweetened carbonated beverage—Coca-Cola, Pepsi, root beer, and the like.

The term combines two words for the same thing: soda (from the sodium bicarbonate once used to create fizz) and pop (from the sound of opening a bottle).

Regional preference varies: soda dominates the coasts, pop the Midwest, coke parts of the South.

Grab me a soda pop from the fridge.
