Soda sounds like a carbonated soft drink just because. The original name was soda-pop, and smart people dissed the last, stupid sounding part. "Pop" doesn't sound like a carbonated soft-drink(SODA!) because....it's "pop"! That one, ahdr sounding syllable cannot possibley be the name of all the soft drinks. It's just....wrong. The word "pop" does not mean carbonated soft drink. Soda does. Look it up.
SODA!!!
