In good old New Mexico, we always used "coke" to refer to what everyone
else apparently refers to as "pop" or "soda pop," as in "does anybody
want a coke?" to which you were supposed to reply, "yes, I'll have 
Seven-Up" (or Dr. Pepper or "orange" or whatever -- simply saying "yes"
meant you were given either Coke or Pepsi).  I never heard anyone say
"soda pop" until eight years ago when I came to the midwest.  

Will wonders never cease.
