Thats because Meanon is a weirdo. Anyway, I normally call soft-drinks "Pop." Thats the only way to be.

pop here, but in Alabama it's coke. You order a coke down there and they ask if you want coke or pepsi. :roll:

I've heard beer referred to as pop here too, same with father, and coke. Also used as a verb to hit someone "pop him one in the skull".

Here there's no "pop". If you ask for one, they'll most probably think you mean "Pope" and tell you they don't have this cocktail.
Also, you'd better specify that you want a "Coca" 'cause no one in Paris will ever know what the hell you're saying if you ask for Coke. I am not joking. Practicing English with fake French accent before coming to France will seriously increase your chances of actually getting whatever you ordered, McDonalds or elsewhere.

I'd just read off the menu, assuming I'll ever get to Paris that is.
