Oh my god that's wonderful. I'm moving to England.
I would say Mr Pepper, as I have no idea what Mr. Pibb is. Either way

Why the particular dislike the term "pop"? Is it due to it being a British English term? (Admittedly it's an extremely out-dated term in the UK, with "fizzy drink" being the most popular informal term as far as I'm aware).
Because just saying it makes you feel like an idiot since it's a sound effect. "pop" already has enough meanings: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pop
