I call it both soda and pop. I try to say "soda" more often because of my need to be technically correct on things like that, but my Coloradan gets in and I say "pop" now and then...

I also say both "drinking fountain" (which is the most correct) and "water fountain" (which is less correct, because a water fountain is decorative and not meant to be drank from).

To be fair, a fountain doesn't have to be decorative. That is, if it founts, then it is a fountain. That's about it. It's just more often used for decoration.

Esau of Isaac vs. Deep Blue! A battle for the ages! Who'll win?

To know, is to know you know nothing; That is the meaning of true knowledge.

By three methods may we learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; And third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Want a good alliance? Try GATO, you'll be among the best.

That does, but here in CA I call it soda in public and pop in private. Can't wait to move back to MN.

Pop as is customary in Iowa. In London, though, we called them Fizzy Drinks.

I just call them sugary bubbly drinks. Came from a game in which a Russian guy went "The capitalists destroyed our economy and brought in endless pairs of blue jeans and bottles of sugary bubbly drinks."
