Inside the US the situation is pretty clearly understood.
Outside the US (I have lived in many parts of Europe, the UK, Canada and Australia as well as the US)
this possibly applies:
Soda: Soda Water similar to club soda.
Tonic: Tonic Water - as in Gin and Tonic.
Pop: rarely heard
Soft Drink: Pretty universal where English is spoken
Fizzy Drink: Never heard it anywhere!
Pop: common in parts of Eastern Canada - used interchangeably with soft-drink.
jdtoronto - gee, guess where I live now :)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
