Still soda. * FYI: It may be interesting to note that regular sugared Coca-Cola will remove corrosion on brass, when the brass is soaked in the Coca-Cola. * Regards.

"What do you call a carbonated soft drink?"
Something that you can drink all you want and have a miniscule chance of doing something naughty as a result.

I use the brand name, such as "Mountain Dew" and yes, I know it's bad for me but I like it.

Coke: In the Southern United States, "coke" (or "cola") is used as a generic term for any type of soft drink—not just a Coca-Cola product or another cola.
This terminology is also used in areas adjacent to the traditional southern states, such as New Mexico and Southern Indiana. Several other locations have been found to use the generic "coke", such as Trinity County, California and White Pine County, Nevada,[6] although the small populations of these counties may skew survey results.
A Twitter data scientist, however, found that while "soda" and "pop" dominate in the United States, "coke" is a generic soft drink name in other countries, especially in Europe.

"Soda" is most common on the East and West Coasts, as well as Hawaii, St. Louis, Missouri, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is also known as a fizzy.
The "soda/pop" dialect line runs through Western New York State, approximately through the Rochester, New York area. Those west of the line (e.g., in Buffalo) say "pop" while those east of the line (e.g. Syracuse) use "soda."

I've noted the grocery stores in Kansas City have a "pop" aisle. The ones in Houston have a "soda" aisle. You say you want some pop in Houston to those for who English is a second language they don't know what you're talking about.

How did “soda” become entrenched into the vocabularies of certain regions?
Soda The first carbonated beverages in America appeared in New England in 1806, when Yale University chemistry professor Benjamin Silliman sold soda waters in New Haven, Connecticut.
Within a few decades soda waters were being sold throughout the Northeast and by the 1830s soda fountains were appearing in New York, Philadelphia and California.
These drinks were known simply as sodas and as carbonated beverages became increasingly popular in the century to come, the name stuck.

History of the Drink Called Coke
Confederate Colonel John Pemberton, who was wounded in the American Civil War and became addicted to morphine, began a quest to find a substitute for the problematic drug. The prototype for what is now Coca-Cola was formulated at Pemberton’s Eagle Drug and Chemical House, in Columbus, Georgia.
In the years ahead, Pemberton would market his drink as a French Wine Coca nerve tonic; however, in 1886, Atlanta and Fulton County passed prohibition legislation, to which Pemberton responded by developing a non-alcoholic version Coca-Cola.
The first sales were at Jacob’s Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886. It was initially sold as a patent medicine for five cents a glass at soda fountains, but the taste soon became a crave throughout the Southland and from that moment forward Coca-Cola was the standard for carbonation in Dixie. Thus, all carbonated drinks are a “coke”.

And YOUR Money !!!!! If you aren't a brand fanatic, around here you can find one brand or another on sale most all of the time. I stocked up on Dr Pepper yesterday because it was on sale. I also bought some root beer, but for that I went to the HEB store brand pop. HEB's store brand cola tastes to me like watered down RC.
And to all the people who drink alcohol, I'm not a fan at all. No desire to consume anything that smells remotely like ChloraPrep (the stuff they use at the blood bank here to prep your arm for a donation). Especially as to where I'm concerned the effects of consumption is akin to untreated mental illnesses.
