What is soda, when asked for in american films and television programmes?
In American programmes and films they often ask for a soda or diet soda. As an english man i would assume they were asking for soda water, but that is a very odd thing to want to drink without alcohol. Thankyou.
"soda" refers to any carbonated drink in america, such as coca-cola, dr. pepper, or pepsi. i suppose it is odd for us to refer to it as just "soda" instead of by name.
hope this helps

sodas can be anything from soda water to coca-cola, 7-up, etc.

Great answers guys, but by definition the name Soda comes from "Soda Water" which in the early days of drink and dining was primarily used as a drink mixer, it was stemmed from Club Soda which would be used in many mixed drinks.
The Soda of today rarely contains any actual bicarbonate but instead it contains carbonated water in which the carbonation is added in a process where carbon dioxide is made to become part of a carbonated beverage so the drink is in fact carbonated.
The name Soda is as synonymous with cold drinks as the beverage Coke, which many people call even drinks like Mountain Dew, Sprite and Dr. Pepper, even Crush an orange drink is called "Coke by default because the name implies a soda beverage and it in turn entails a similarity to the product.
