    We actually only pronounce it as the name itself, for example:
    Sprite is "Sprite",
    Coke is "Coke",
    Pepsi is "Pepsi".

    This is pretty much the only way to do it, but if generalising it all, I call them soft drinks. I have never heard a single person call them a soda/pop.

    Who would call Sprite a Coke lol? In Hebrew everyone we can them "mashkaot mugazim" ("carbonated drinks") and when referring to a specific one we just say its name.

    If you go the southern US, they call it a coke.
    A conversation like this is pretty common
    Customer: I would like to have a coke please
    Server: Ok, what kind can I get you?
    Customer: I'll have a sprite please.

    We here in Germany call it "Erfrischungsgetränk" (refreshing beverage), and I think that's beautiful.

    In Canada we call it pop, usually the name of the beverage though.

    In Finland we call them Virvoitusjuomat.
    Not sure why it sounds that stupid compared to other countries.
