That's because "pop" has multiple meanings. It's just used incorrectly to describe carbonated drinks.
–noun
1. sodium hydroxide.
2. sodium monoxide.
3. sodium carbonate (def. 2).
4. sodium, as in carbonate of soda.
5. soda water.
6. a drink made with soda water, flavoring, such as fruit or other syrups, and often ice cream, milk, etc.
7. soda pop.
8. (in faro) the card turned up in the dealing box before one begins to play.
And when you first google soda the first link is:
"Includes the Soda Constructor, a Java applet that animates two dimensional models made out of masses and springs."
Also:
Sodium carbonate (washing soda or soda ash); Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda); Sodium carbonate ... Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda" ...
Conclusion, your point is moot.
Pop wins again.
