Silly boy.
Now I am from Pennsylvania originally. Been in the greater Austin area, like Gary and why I know him personally, for the last 15yrs, and from what I had known before I would have expected everyone here to call it "pop" or "soda water" and there are those that do, soda water especially by the older Texans. But mostly it's just called soda.
I've got news for all of you that think rednecks only live in the South, It ain't so. The Pa rednecks used to live nearer the middle of the state. Open land and little to do but poach your dinner on a regular basis and make little rednecks. Not because they couldn't afford to buy meat, but just 'cause, "it's their God given right to do so."
Now they can be found in my hometown which is VERY close to the NJ border.
The phrases, usez guyz, terl it, witchcha' and thesez onez are common place there when it used to be only the uneducated (again, middle of the state) that used them.
Now the Pennsylvania Dutch is a whole nother (another Pa colloquialism) culture and don't get me started on them.

Remember I grew up in Conroe. Tons of rednecks. Tons of the "I drive nothing but a pickup truck" rednecks... whether they need one or not.
Yeah, buggy and coke were common terms there.

I have known many rednecks from many parts of the country. It's does not (necessarily) seem limited to upbringing, geography, income or education. It's simply a state of immovable mind. (re: a form of massive ego.)
