This map shows how the U.S. differs in it's slang terms for soft drinks. The blue represents "pop", red is "coke" and yellow is "soda". It is interesting how "pop" is mostly the Northern/ Northwestern US, "coke" is mostly the Southeastern US and then "Soda" is split between the Southwestern US, Northeastern US, and then an area around St. Louis. It would be interesting to know how the split of "soda" came about. I also found the county that I live in, which is Otoe County, NE and it is 90-100% "pop". From living there, I can say that this is probably true so this map is most likely accurate.
