So for the sake of proving you wrong like the wrong person you are:


Google:

Results 1 - 10 of about 432,000,000 for pop [definition].
Divided by the number of Definitions (33 - As of dictionary.com)=
13,090,909.1

Results 1 - 10 of about 39,900,000 for soda [definition].
Divided by the number of Definitions (18 - As of dictionary.com)=
2,216,666.7

That is to say that if you consider the probability that 1 in 33 "pops" will function as a reference to the drink compared to the probability that 1 in 18 "sodas" will function as a reference to the drink that the conclusion is there is still the probability that pop will be utilized more frequently than soda in reference to the drink.

Divided by 1/2 the number of Definitions (therefore 9 - As of dictionary.com)=

That is to say that if you consider the probability that 1 in 33 uses of pop are in reference to the drink in comparison to 9 in 18 uses of soda will be in reference to the drink the probability remains that pop will still be utilized more frequently as a reference to the drink.

Conclusion

POP FTW
