About the soda/pop question...
To be honest, I've never been in a restaurant where I had to speak English. But if I had to ask for such a thing, I'd ask for a refreshment. I don't know if the term is correct, (it's the exact translation of the Greek word and I'm sure I've seen it many times in menus) but neither soda or pop sound good to me, because:
a) Soda, in Greek, (pronounced with a soft d) is a carbonated, colorless beverage we drink when we've eaten too much... anyone knows what I'm talking about? Anyway, since I don't know its English name, I'd fear they'd get me one of these.
b) Pop is the kind of music we all know. And you can't drink music, can you?
BTW, which is the term L&C would use?
See ya,
