My family still calls it Tonic, but I think its dying out. I have asked those from Boston, or South Shore area, and not many call it that anymore, mostly just Soda.

We moved to Florida almost 13 years ago and we still call it "tonic."

The Boss was a two liter of Pepsi, the Coke equivalent was the Crowd Pleaser. We always said tonic in North Cambridge but only a few of the old school types use that now. When my sister came back from living in Wyoming ( the state not the square) she got us all saying soda.
