Shasta makes several versions of their CARBONATED BEVERAGE commercials.
Commercials saying POP are broadcast in the midwest and other regional
areas that customarily use that term.  AND, commercials using that weird
noun SODA are broadcast on the east coast, where SODA is customarily used
instead of the proper term - POP.   :-)

I recently had an argument with a friend over this subject.  After our 
discussion, I came to the realization that, when my ancestors moved west
they left all their bad habits behind such as New Jersey, and using the
word SODA.  Uh, I take that back, they did manage to bring one bad habit 
with them . . . we call it Cleveland, Ohio.
