Started out calling it pop when I lived in Montana and Minnesota, started calling it soda when I lived in Wisconsin, and still call it soda now that I’m back in MN.  I must be a total freak.

One of my roommates and I dedicated one semester sophomore year of college to saying the word soda instead of pop.  It has stuck, not much else did from that semester though.



Not unexpected, but interesting to see in map form nonetheless. While East Coasters constantly gave me shit for calling soft drinks “pop,” I think the Southern “coke” is a much more egregious offense.
