...actually soda is a caustic byproduct of smelting isn't it?
Don't they use coke in the smelting process, too?

here, "pop" is lemonade. Even brand-name soft drinks such as Coca-cola? It's all lemonade?

yup pretty much.
Lemonade is anything fizzy with sugar in it. It's not usually used to describe the stuff that Charlie Brown and Lucy make and sell for 5 cents a cup - that's Lemon juice. So it's a generic term, but Lemonade also refers specifically to the product called Lemonade - that is, soda or pop that is just sugar and water without the food colouring and flavours. So Lemonade is lemonade, but so is Coke, Lime, 7-up, etc. Soda is only used of soda water - carbonated water with no sugar in it.

What is it?
Soda's (coke, pepsi, fanta, 7up, etc) are all so generic that they are POP (south east US) or lemonade?
I wonder if it is related to my in laws(RIP) who would use the generic soda (to my kids "do you want soda? we bought some for today.."
and you'd never know what you'd get.
Pineapple flavor. or 'champaign cola'* or grape...
they treated soda like a generic.. no reguard to flavor. (i used to drink cola's --but they are bad for your bones.. so now i only drink lemon/lime flavored soda.. (any brand will do..)
* do you guys have champaign cola? It looks like cola (brownish) but it taste like cherry bubble gum! is is this a NY speciality (like Malta?--(ok so malta can be found in most East coast cities.. and PR.. (anywhere else?))
