I'm from New England - born in Boston, Mass. We don't say 'pop' or 'soda'. We say 'tonic'.
Then what do you call Tonic?
Mike: "would you get me a coke?"
Jeff: "Yes, what kind do you want?"
Mike: "Sprite."
Also, it's a "hair thingy" not a hair band or a hair thing.
Apparently it's not hip to say supper anymore.
Breakfast, dinner, & supper. Lunch is what you took to school/work.
