Well "pop" is part of the "soda pop" name for sweetened, flavored, carbonated beverages.  Now "coke" is a whole different matter.  It is the shortened version of Coca-Cola brand name of soda pop and should not be used to refer all soda pop.  In some parts of the US they do refer to all soda pop as "coke".  I don't know why but I think it is just not right.

A lot of people here in Texas refer to all sweetened flavored carbonated beverages as Coke, ie "What kind of Coke do you want?". My wife is from Ohio and uses the word "pop" for that kind of beverage. Personally I favor the word "soda". It's really a regional dialect thing, similar to "y'all" = "yous guys" = "you".

Yeah, I grew up in Houston and "coke" was used for all soda/pop. I've been in Oklahoma since 1991 and I'm not sure when I started saying "pop", but it stuck at some point.

This is so ridiculous. Can we get off this stupid subject?!?
