Pop or soda?
Tis a map showing the generic names for soft drinks by area. Interesting that “soda” is bi-coastal, but not much used in the interior.
I once visited a client in New Jersey who asked me what I wanted to drink. I told her I wanted a pop, which prompted her to ask me if I was from Kalamazoo. Apparently in her experience only people from Kalamazoo called it “pop”.

Interesting… I’ll show this to people the next time I’m mocked for saying soda.
