Shame, because we're the region that invented them.

Also, while I normally only talk smack about regional names for humor purposes, soft drink is a bit too wide for referring to the carbonated drinks.Lemonade for example, is a soft drink but not a type of soda.

I think my favorite regional variant outside of the correct one is "fizzy drink".
