If it was Canadian they would call it pop not soda.

Also don't call KD mac and cheese.

Americans say pop too in the Midwest

Kraft Dinner is my guess. I really have no idea though.

Vastly inferior to Knorr Sidekicks which I think are Dutch owned now. Cheese & Chipotle noodles are the best shit ever.

That just means no alcohol, pop means it's a fizzy drink.

Is this a Montreal specific thing? We use soft drink to refer to things like Coke, Sprite, Crush, etc. I've never heard it used in the context of alcohol-free beverages.

No, I mean the term "soft drink". I've never heard anyone use "pop" here.
