I'm in/from Florida and I have always called them soft drinks, but I think soda is a logical name. I don't like it being called pop though.
I'm Gen-X so lunchables didn't exist until I was probably in my 30s so I've never had one. But seeing how little food is in them and how expensive they are and how unhealthy they are I have never felt I was missing out. When I worked at a call center I tried Hot Pockets because you needed to have something that would cook fast in a microwave. The meatball ones I thought tasted pretty good but thought they were over-priced too, but nowhere near as much as lunchables.

From eastern Ohio, we say pop or just call it whatever it actually is, Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew, etc. I have to agree with the hate for Lunchables--they're all nasty. The pizza one is probably the worst of them all.
