coke, pop, and soda mapped

[Freakshow]

A really outstanding map which depicts whether people say Coke, Soda, or Pop.

I love going south because you can order a coke and they don't go 'is pepsi ok,' if they have pepsi instead of coke. Although i'm not as extreme as to refer to all soda as coke. so I guess technically I would fall into the soda category which dominates my home county in Maryland.

That's cool.

However, when I lived in New Hampshire, soda was often referred to as "tonic". But then again there was a lot of inbreeding going on there.

Here in Hunterdon most of the time its "soda" so i guess the map is correct for Jersey. I say "coke" the most though. Pop? Just more proof that the midwest is full of idiots.
*Kidding of course, mid-westerners are GREAT!*

considering that it was originally called "soda pop", it's not that difficult to imagine that when deciding what to call it for short that some folks would go soda and the other's go pop.

The Webster's 1913 Dictionary states:
Pop n. A nonalcoholic carbonated beverage; - so called because it expels the cork with a pop from the bottle containing it; as, ginger pop; lemon pop, etc.

I'm guessing the pop description stuck even when corks switched to glass bottles with caps and cans (pop a top).

Not much popping anymore with plastic bottles and twist off caps.

I understand the reasoning behind it, but actually calling it pop just seems ridiculous.

I don't really like coke, I just like the way it smells.

this was posted a while back(by Pantera I think) but at a diffrent site, and a less detaioled map.

I use soda and coke interchangeably. I think i picked up saying coke for all soda when I lived in Florida.

I've never had someone tell me that they serve Pepsi, not Coke. Obviously they're bilingual when it comes to cola.
