What did Pimp C say about where the real South is? Central Time Zone. I can’t speak for Atlanta, but I know nikkas from Dallas and Htown both that say POP. Shreveport and Monroe too. Oh and definitely Memphis and North Mississippi.
Edit: “Let me get a waterfall off your Pop, Dawg.”, was a common irk growing up. You couldn’t enjoy your drink without hearing that shyt in the hood in the 80s, 90s, and 00s when I was growing up.
Folks low key don't even consider Texas the south south. That shyt is GA, SC, AL, LA, and MS. Then throw in NC. Essentially the Black Belt states.

I don't know then. I was heavy in Memphis back in the 80s - mid 90's visiting fam and etc. Coke was the main drink (pop/soda) off rip, cats down there didn't mess with Pepsi at all. I dont recall hearing Pop that much, mainly Soda. But like you say it could be regional, Pop is just a short saying of Soda Pop. I cant really speak on anything outside of that, yall southern brothas will have to figure it out
