"Pop" seems to be the most common term in Seattle, but "soda" (I was born in Massachusetts) is always understood. Only once has a restaurant employee commented on it.

OTOH, I'd get some strange looks in the Chicago area when I'd say "soda."

both

When I was in Detroit it was Pop

In Texas it's Soda

Soda. Even in Spanish I say "soda".

Yesterday we had my cousin and his wife (she recently moved here from Honduras) over for dinner. I asked her what she wanted to drink and she asked for a "gaseosa" which I believe is the correct way to say it in Spanish, but it confused me nonetheless.

Gaseosa is water + gas + sweetener. No colour.
Is that what you call soda?

I'm confused too because some people here say coke. And that's a different thing. That would be "una cola" in Spanish

PANDURITO said:

I think that "gaseosa" is the going term for "soda" (although I'm not sure what the Royal Academy of Spanish deems acceptable).

Definitely pop.

POP

soda

In most parts of the country we say "gos" but in the Eastern fjords it's common to say "öl"... of course if you would ask for "öl" at a newsstand in Reykjavík you would probably get a pilsner light beer
