Curious what a soft drink is commonly referred to now as in Missouri

During my childhood in southern Missouri all soft drinks were “Coke’s”
“I want a coke”
“What kind of coke do you want?”
“Hmmm, Dr.Pepper”
If you wanted a Coca Cola then you asked for it
Northern Missouri it was pop mostly
Moving to Texas it was a big shock to call it “soda water”
So what’s prevalent nowadays?

When I was younger my aunt in Kansas City mentioned ‘pop’ and I didn’t know what she was talking about. And I’ve never heard of anyone call it coke either, the frick?

I came to Mizzou from the north. One afternoon, one of my first friends asked if I wanted a soda. I replied, yes, I haven't had one in years, where can we get one?
He took me to a cafeteria and we then stood in front of a pop vending machine and he asked what kind I wanted.
I was completely puzzled...first I'd ever heard of pop being called soda.

Soda. When I was young I could buy a Soda for a solid quarter.

It's still the same divided state (in so many ways).
I grew up in KC, now live in STL, have family in both cities and a daughter in Springfield.
Growing up in KC, we'd go out for "a coke". But I'd order a 7-Up. We would take the "pop" bottles back to the grocery store.
In STL, it's always been Soda. Everything is a soda. My wife would be in KC and order "a white soda", and be shocked at getting a Club Soda.

it took awhile to get used to a pop being a soda when I moved here also

Uhhh...so what's a "white soda?"

As usual, those weirdo's over in St. Louis differ from the rest of Missouri.
It's pop in western/northern Missouri.

I call it Coke or Soda. I don't ever hear people use pop.
