When I was a kid it was always referred to as "tonic" in the Boston area. 

Still hear some old timers calling it that, but mostly everyone else calls it soda.

Growing up in a Family that owned a Coke Bottling Plant, everything was Coke, and we weren't allowed to say the "P" word.. seriously.. got yelled at for saying it..

Even the word Pop was frowned on and I often heard the term " Soft Drinks" when other brands where mentioned...

I'm with Jim and Tim,  It always been "pop" to me ...I always thought it was short for soda pop. When I traveled around for work and called it pop people looked at me like I was from somewhere in the backwoods  (Metro-Detroit??) I guess it was sort of true
