I never knew there was a Pop Kola. So that's where a bottle of pop came from?

No….that would be short for “soda-pop”. (Bottle of pop)

No but if you ever get a chance the History channel has a series called "the foods that built America" and it goes back to the late 1800-early 1900's to the beginning of a lot of the foods we enjoy today and some started out with very different names. very interesting show! IMO.
