Canadians say "pop" more than most people, especially out east. "Soda" is what they mostly say in the USA. My wife (american, who says soda mostly) still giggles when I say "pop", "eh", "sorry" (pronouncing the "o", not "aw" -- *sawry*) amongst other canadian-izms...but I just smile...then repeatedly hit her in spots where she can hide the bruises.  >:D  ;D

My grandmother says "soder" and pronounces the name of your country like "Canader". Oddly enough, if the real spellings were "soder" and "Canader", she would pronounce them like "soda" and "Canada".

Soda is short for "soda pop" so "soda" or "pop" both work.

But isn't saying "arcade" short for "arcade machine"?  :dizzy:

Maybe, but its one of those things where shortening it changes the meaning which is why it annoys people that understand it.

Shortening "soda pop" to "soda" doesn't change its entire meaning to the place where you go to drink it.
An arcade is a place.
