I don't know if this is specifically regional to a particular part of the coast, but, folks in california call it "pop". Same with northerners (PA, NY)
I'd like to respectfully refute this claim. I've lived all over California all my life (Santa Cruz -> Grass Valley -> Sacramento, etc.) and I've never heard anyone call soda 'pop' unless it was in jest.
Now, Canada on the other hand...
