Unless I'm specifying a brand to order it, I'll say soft drinks.

I call it by the name of my favourite brand of it's type. If I want cola, I say "Coke". If I want fizzy orange I say "Club Orange" or "Fanta". If I want a fizzy lemon and lime drink, I say "7up".

I never order a "soda" though. To presume such is ridiculous. When not referring to a specific type of soda, I call it soda.

I live in MN. I inherited the trait from my ex-fiancee, who was raised in Georgia, and her family called it soda.

Well soda's the only proper name for it, eh?

I mean the only thing that pops are the bubbles. But I've got milk with popping bubbles and you don't see me calling that pop, wot wot!

I call each one by their brand name. I thought that option would be pretty obvious.

If I want a Fanta, I ask for a Fanta.

Indeed. Sorry, I was not leveling the incomprehension statement at you. My apologies if you misunderstood. I was agreeing with/adding on to your sentiment.

So you never, ever refer to soft drinks in a generic context?

Yeah, it just makes you weight more, gives you less energy. You know, cause that isn't bad at all.

I'm also pretty sure that it is necessary for human life.

You are confusing over-consumption of sugars (especially refined) with... sugar in general.

Yes.

Unless of course it's not OK for a woman to ask for a female to ask for a female officer to carry out body checks. In which case, the answer would be no.
