Pace all northerners, but that would just confuse kids here!  The
generic term for "softdrink"  (besides "softdrink" itself) is "coke"
(li'l <c>), whether or not you're drinking Dr. Pepper or Sprite or
Coca-cola itself.    People who use "soda" or (what's worse) "pop"
immediately mark themselves as "foreigners" (to use John Cowan's
phrasing).  :)
