It's still regional I promise.

Lets see I lived in Tx and they said pop there, 

My friends from there as well as the few times i've been there I've always
heard the generic term coke.

I lived In FL and I'm not sure what they said there 

I'm gonna bet on coke here too... 

(what ever New Yorkers say I'm sure that what they say:-), 
It's not pop believe me.

I live in MD and they said soda there (I got beat up every time I said pop,
but I'm still a pop sayer!),

case in point. 

I lived in OH and they said pop there,

sURE DO!

 I live here in VA and they said pop, 

I want to talk to these Virginians?  All the ones around here in Roanoke say
either Soda or Coke,  and give me a hard time for saying pop. Sometimes you
got to a restraunt and they don't know what you mean.

but how do you say "pop" in German? 

Hmmm ich muss das uberlegen....  

It seemed to me that the northerners said soda and the southerners
>said pop. 

Ohio's not in the North?  I'll agree that in New England they say SODA! (my
relatives are from there, and saying pop in Boston has a completely
different connotation.)

 (so what do people out there say?). Hummm...

This is my humble opinion.
