It's a regional thing. In house we use them interchangeably, but never together, that is too redundant.

depends...
on one's geographic region. here in the northernmost region of the south, most folks call it "pop". my family calls it a "soft drink". i guess this came about to distinguish it from a "hard drink"...one that contained alcohol....

Some people call it "soda pop".
Bartenders and waitresses seem to prefer "soft drink".
The governor of New York used to call it a "Spitzer".

I'm from Maryland and we always said "soda" or "coke"
My cousins in Indiana said "pop" I always thought they were odd.

In Canada it's mainly pop. A little bit of useless info is that in Canada only pop or cola's that are "brown" in color can contain caffiene. 7-Up, Mtn Dew etc cannot.

Born/raised in Buffalo. Pop was any carbonated, flavored beverage. Coke was Coke. Soda was soda water. But "a" soda was ice cream with soda water and some flavoring (not to be confused with a float, which was ice cream, usually vanilla, and your choice of pop, i.e., a Coke float or root beer float). Milkshake was ice cream, milk, and maybe flavoring.
Here in MA, soda is any carbonated, flavored bev. What is a milkshake nearly everywhere else is a frappe here.
It's like when Ron said he was bringing spinach pies to the party. We know 'em as calzones (they were yummie no matter whatcha called 'em!).
It's all in where ya live!
