I've never called it soda or pop, don't know about others from the UK but I just say fizzy juice, and I don't drink it much anymore, the stuff isn't worth 120 calories per glass
It's interesting that the UK/Europe are unfamiliar with the terms "Soda" and "Pop."
It's kind of a dialect-thing here for what you prefer to call it. You can actually strike up a conversation/debate on the subject when visiting other parts of the country.

It gets funnier to Europeans with more minute things like frappes vs. milkshakes

I am familiar with the words soda and pop as they are mentioned in a lot of US shows, it just sounds weird when a Brit says it

I know right, that stuff is so fattening and bad for you! (she says drinking beer....) :P

A lot of people say pop over here but it tends to be what older people, especially grandparents say to young children, like to a 4 year old: "do you want some fizzy pop?"
As for soda I don't think I've ever heard anyone here use that.

Haha when I was younger I would drink so much of it.. And I don't drink beer, not because it's bad for you etc I just hate the taste

It's funny you say that because we do (or i do) use the term pop rarely to describe a form of fizzy drink. Soda is it's own drink, and is very rare over here in UK. For those of you who dont know what it is, it's kinda lemonade without lemon.
I would usually call the drink by the name on the sticker.
I cannot bring myself to call it a soda. I worked in an ice cream joint as a kid and a "soda" was a special drink, made by hand, from carbonated water and a syrup. Almost always people would also want ice cream in it. Hence, an "ice cream soda".
And "I want a pop.", sounds like someone needs a father. :-)
So I call the drink by its brand name.
I find it hilarious that "coke" is becoming a generic word for carbonated drink.
I say pop or by brand name. I know some Americans call it soda but over here it's mainly by brand name. But soda is used with juice to make the juice fizzy hence orange with soda water.

I never understood what "soda" is, I mean is it a type of drink or just what you call fizzy drinks? And what's a club soda? So confused lol!
Exactly. That's why everyone should just call it "Pop" or call it "Coke" (or by it's brand name). I mean just look at that map.
"soda"= the carbonation process, so soda water, soda pop are both "sodas"
It's carbonated soft drinks as a whole.
I am surprised that tonic has all but disappeared from that list, it held on for a while in a small area.

Also it really annoys Canucks when you call it Soda...so even more reason to keep calling it that. I mean I might just get an angry letter ^.^

"I'll take a coke. Make that a 7-up."
