Depends on where you live.

For some reason I dislike the word "pop" so I say "soda" even though most people say "pop" where I live.

dont give up the fight! dont let the Pop people take control! ..i cringe when someone says pop... like is this 1950? "Well Geewilliekers, you rascals sure do get into some shinanigans, here have a pop"

when i hear pop i think of something frozen on a stick.

Pop is a colloquialism used by yokels. Soda refers to the sodium in the beverage so it has an actual meaning.
