I know more than one person that calls it "sodee pops"

    It's just a regional dialect thing. Where I grew up, we called it "coke," even if it was a Dr. Pepper. That's the only one that is truly irredeemably wrong.

    I had to train myself to call them something else. (I chose "sodas" because that was the only alternative I knew.)

    Coke makes more sense than pop, since coca cola was literally named after the term.

    I thought it was named after the coca in it

    I think that's what their saying, since coke/cocaine and coke/coca cola are both named coke because of the same chemical.

    I dunno which came first tho, far as I can tell cocaine in both drug and drink form started getting called coke around 1900-1910. The coca-cola company didn't like the nickname, they advertised you saying the name in full, they didn't actually copyright "coke" for coca-cola it till the 1940's.
