I enjoy learning Americanisms on Hubski :) In Britain we call them "soft drinks", except up North (Northern England, which is anything above Birmingham if you're a Londoner like me) where they also use "pop" and people of my mother's generation who say "fizzy drinks" or simply "fizz" (although the latter can also refer to Champagne). I wonder what it is about a carbonated beverage that makes its nomenclature so regionally varied?
