I'm from the UK and I voted for fizzy drink, that's only because using a process of elimination it's the only one I would vagely consider using.
The way I see it:
Pop - Something you might say if you were about 5
Soda - Something you would say if you were American
Carbonated Beverage - Something you would say if you were a maths geek or a scientist or something.
Tonic - Something you mix with Vodka
Coke - That's a bit specific, you can hardly call a Sprite a coke now can u! That's just stupid!
Soft Drink - Well yes that is ok, although it doesn't specify if the drink is fizzy or not. You can have still soft drinks.
Therefore I am only left with fizzy drink (really only because it clearly describes what we are talking about)!:-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
