I grew up outside Albany, NY and we drank soda, not pop. Coffee was cawfee and dog was dawg. We ordered an ice cream soda - it was ice cream, syrup and carbonated water. Vanilla ice cream in root beer was a float. My Vermont cousins wokked the dog (short O) but they loved to make fun of my wauking the dawg. When I visited my Vermont cousins we went upstreet. Upstreet had a soft ice cream place. It was there you ordered a creamy.
