Always soda!!!
But I say couch or sofa. Sneakers and tennis shoes are two different things to me so I say both.

Toss up on sofa and couch.
Toss up on tennis shoes (tennies) and sneaker too. I work out in sneakers like Nike, but style & profile in tennies like Chucks.
Soda all day!

Couch, soda, sneakers.
Funny story, my mom says 'sofa' and while my french cousins were in town, she told them to go sit on the sofa. Apparently, sofa in french means heater. My cousins were so confused!
If anyone who knows french can confirm this, it would be great. I googled it and now I can't confirm it. Maybe 'sofa' in french means something else.

Couch
POP. Always pop.
I say sneakers, but know others from here who say tennis shoes. Technically I think of them as different things, but wouldn't think it was too weird if someone used them interchangeably.

couch, soda, and I use both sneakers and tennis shoes (sounds more like tenny's - rhymes with pennies) LOL

I say:
Couch
Soda
Sneakers
But DH says pop and tennis shoes so I usually use those around him. Pop, mostly. And then I say sneakers tennis shoes together because I can never remember which one he thinks is "right."

Ever heard of the term "davenport" used for couch? That's an old one my Gram used to use.
