The word "soda" generally boils down to where you're from: Midwesterners enjoy a good pop, while soda is tops in the North and far West.
Linguists don't fully know why "pop" became so popular in the Midwest .
The first Coca-Cola was served in 1886 by Dr. John Pemberton , a pharmacist in Atlanta .
But Pemberton went on to develop a "soft" version a few years later to be sold as a medicinal drink. Due to the growing popularity of soda water concoctions, eventually "soft drink" came to mean only such sweetened carbonated beverages, a linguistic testament to America 's enduring love affair with sugar and bubbles. With the average American guzzling almost 40 gallons per year, you can call it whatever you want. Just don't call it healthy. Provided by The Conversation.
