I grew up in Northern NY and it was Soda. I don't know WTF is wrong with these people.
Also, we will occasionally say "pie" in reference to pizza, but it's more of a slang/folksy kind of usage. Like "Yo - you's (yes - in WNY the plural of you is "you's") guys wanna grab a pie for the Sabres game tonight?"
Up here in New England we got something going on like that with milkshakes. Apparently, a milkshake is just milk and syrup, but once you add ice cream to it, it becomes a Frappe.
So a glass of chocolate milk is a milkshake, now? What kind of literalist heathens you got up there? "Well, it's milk, an' we done shook it, so it's a milkshake."
laughed hard enough to draw attention to myself.
someone walked over to see what I was laughing at.
To add something new to the discussion, lollypop or sucker?
And yes, I'm not kidding. When I moved to Indiana from PA, someone asked me if I wanted a sucker. I'm like, why would I want an idiot? But apparently, lollypops in IN are called suckers. Why? 'cause they be unedumacated.

Here, at least in my experience, it depends on the shape. Lollypops are more of a flat disc, suckers are round.
the fuck is wrong with southern people and the word wash
if you want to wash your clothes, wash them
you don't worschh them. okay?
it's washington, not worschhington.
oh, and fuck you it's LOUIS-VILLE, not no goddamned "looeyville".

I had no idea there were such subtleties to this.
Note: subtleties has to be one of the the weirdest words to type. It just looks so wrong.

There's no such thing as a sucker. Unless it's on a squid or something.

Bun
Pizza
Soft Drink (though soda or coke are acceptable)
Sucker
In Hertfordshire in the UK where I grew up soda was a subset of soft drinks (anything cold, non alcoholic, non water) specifically called Fizzy Drinks.
So...
"Do you want something to drink? We've got loads of soft drinks for the kids, Fizzy Drinks if they're allowed them, otherwise apple or orange juice"
"Sure, I'll have a coke"
Oh, and you don't put hot dogs in anything. You throw them away and laugh at them because the only place anyone would ever eat one is at a cinema. Sausages are what you put in rolls when you have a barbecue. Sausage in a roll, burger in a bun.
For some reason, in the south, they refer to shopping carts as buggy's.
Like, get in a dune buggy and let's drive kind of buggy. I don't know of anywhere else it goes by that name.
Yeah, it's buggy.
Oh, and ice chest.
Fuck yes. First time I used the term 'ice chest' up here, I got strange looks. I think the term here is 'cooler' or something. I'll defend that shit - it's a chest, it holds fucking ice.
the fuck is wrong with midwestern people and the word wash
if you want to wash your clothes, wash them
you don't worschh them. okay?

oh, and fuck you it's LOUIS-VILLE, not no goddamned "looeyville".
fuck you. I fixed that for you. Never heard that in my life except when visiting midwestern relatives.
I mean, since its so warm around here, southern folk talk in a wide mouthed way while as you get north people talk with a more closed mouth because in the winter they can't afford to give away that heat. Or something like that.

However, generally, a sucker is what children call it, and a lollipop is what adults call it. Interchangeably.
Here it's the other way 'round. Lollipop is the flat disc, and a sucker is the round, spherical one.
Also, you Americans are crazy. It's pop. As in the fizzy sensation the pop makes when you drink it. What the fuck is soda? The word means nothing. Nothing. And it is as mocked up here as pop is down there.
And a milkshake doesn't need to have ice cream in it, it's just thick, creamy, and flavoured. Now, if you've got some pop with ice cream in it, that's a float.
Coke is a brand of pop that is cola flavored
Soda is a word I've never heard anybody use, ever
Rolls are what people call buns when they want to sound fancy
A pie has pastry crust and raised edges, nobody would ever call a pizza a pie
EDIT: If you can fit it in your mouth and suck on it it's a sucker. If you have to lick/bite it it's a lollipop.

Soda being because it was originally called "soda-pop." Soda tonic being the original original term. Soda because of the seltzer, tonic because it was a medicine. Tonic is bitter, hence its use as medicine.

Then perhaps both of us should stop and take a moment to consider how we're both using one half of its original, popular name, and how that pretty much makes both of our names for it valid.

Okay, Mr. Wonka.

Who eats hot dogs at the movies? That's absurd.
Man, a good hot dog cooked on a charcoal grill is so awesome. Natural casing all the way. Pops when you bite it!
P.s. it is soda and the distinction between milkshake and frappe is important.

I offer cokes, not soda. Just cokes. A conversation looks like this:
"Would you like a coke?"
"Sure, whatchya got?"
"IBC cream, black cherry, dr. p, coke, and cherry lime"
"I'll take a coke."
"We got IBC cream, black cherry, dr. p, coke, and cherry lime"
"I'll take a coke."

Also, I now live in Kansas. People always ask me if I'd like a "sack" for my purchase at stores. If a fucking bag assclowns.
My kansasian (? I don't know the word) friends tell me the critical diffrence is between if its paper bag or plastic "sack".
laughed hard enough to draw attention to myself.

They did not laugh
Truth. The only time you hear soda in Canada is in reference to soda-water. I don't think I heard it used in my brief exile in the Maritimes either.
Also, those are buns and pizza.
And yes, I'm not kidding. When I moved to Indiana from PA, someone asked me if I wanted a sucker. I'm like, why would I want an idiot? But apparently, lollypops in IN are called suckers. Why? 'cause they be unedumacated.
Seriously, sack? You should demand a giant burlap sack.

Sucker
I guess.
I'm still working on dropping the habits I picked up from growing up in East Texas. I've almost cut out ya'll, which is a freaking miracle.
However, generally, a sucker is what children call it, and a lollipop is what adults call it. Interchangeably.
I've never heard someone refer to it as a lollipop in real life. It's always either brand name (Blowpop, Tootise Roll Pop), or sucker.
Like, get in a dune buggy and let's drive kind of buggy. I don't know of anywhere else it goes by that name.
Yeah, it's buggy.
Oh, and ice chest.
I always found it to be the other way around.
Adults say sucker. Children say lollipop.
I live in Indiana though.

So...

WTF is an ice chest?
soda is lame
pop makes me think of popping eyeballs out

"Would you like a coke?"
"Sure, whatchya got?"
"IBC cream, black cherry, dr. p, coke, and cherry lime"
"I'll take a coke."
And I've gotten so much shit for ya'll when I left Texas. What's wrong with ya'll? You say won't. Neither of those make sense. So just shut up.
let the rage commence.

This is why I see your "Coke" logic failing.
