- English (US)
sparkling drink (or, often, āsparkling beverageā) = carbonated water/seltzer
pop = a regional variation of soda (e.g., Coke, Sprite) in the US (usually the Midwest [e.g., Ohio, Michigan] and further west [e.g., Minnesota, North Dakota] but not California)
fizzy drink = soda in the UK, Australia and New Zealand (if you say that in the US people will picture something like ė² ė”ģ¹“, even though that specifically does not exist in the US)
soft drink = usually soda in North America (āsoftā as opposed to drinks that are āhardā (i.e., alcoholic beverages))

There isn't a difference among them. They are regional words to say the same thing. The only one that changes sentence structure is"pop".
Soft drink would be: "Could I get a soft drink?"
Pop would be: " Could I get "some" pop?" "Could I get a pop" sounds slightly unnatural but is 'technically' correct.
