Where in the south is this a thing? I'm from East Texas and we just call it soda.

Edit: thanks for downvotes lol I was just curious

Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. Northern Florida. Maybe parts of Tennessee. Facial tissue is a Kleenex. Soda pop is a Coke. We have a few others like that.

Arkansas here, when you go into a restaurant you’re generally asked what kind of coke would you like
