You have a point - "soda" just means "soda water" or " something with soda water (H2O + CO2) in it"...tho "soda" and "cola" are often used interchangeably with one another , or with "pop" in the north or with "coke" in the south (especially here in New Orleans, where "Pepsi" is considered a valid answer to the question "What kind of cokes does this store carry?"

)
And 7UP is the only real clear

it's the classic "UNcola" if you remember their really old ads. I can't stand any variety of pepsi except for regular, I liked Red Fusion, and I stick with regular or decaf coke...well actually, i'll take MrPiBB over ANY if them any day, but it's not sold here except in fountains at Subway...>_<
and VA: I'm partial to canada dry myself
