Well, I've always been a bit confused by the term 'soda'. I used to think it was a fizzy drink which went with whisky, but then it also seems to be used in the US as a generic term for a soft, fizzy drink.
Anyway, I don't say 'soda', 'pop', or another combination. I say 'fizzy drink', 'soft drink', or the specific brand name - eg, Coke, Fanta, etc.
I drink mineral water, although lat home I've switched to filtered tap water, because it's a lot cheaper and tastes just as nice.
