The south is easily persuaded, hence brand name

Soda is what it is, comes from soda fountain, soda water etc.

Midwest on some otherworldly cute BS. Dafuq is pop, the sound it makes?!
- the term "soda pop" is traced back to the 1800s when seltzer water came into production and tasty carbonated beverages were eventually served at soda fountains in drug stores. Their report indicates "pop" itself caught on as slang, and was prominently used in northern states like Minnesota and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Faygo, the Detroit-based soft drink company, is said to be the first to market soda as "pop" after the sound the lid made when it popped off the soda bottle. Others give a store in Erie, Pa., credit for coining the term in 1868.
  
  ICP and pop - is there a curse at Faygo?
  
  Cringe is a blessing and a curse
- TIL Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado are part of the midwest.
  
  Chart gaslighting the public to think Washingtonians say 'pop'. Usually people say Soda here.
- Pop! Pop!
  
  You know they're laughing at you, right? I mean that's my theory.
- The sound it makes is exactly where the name comes from. Also there were people in soda territory also calling it pop as well way back in the day. That's why the term "soda pop" exists.
  
  You can see a D.C. newspaper from the mid 1800s calling it pop in this wiki article.
