Pop or Soda?
Do you drink pop?
Or do you drink soda?
Depends on where you live. If you live in God's Country, you'd drink pop. Probably. At least I do.
The map below maps the various generic names for soft drinks used throughout the country, color-coded by county.
If you plan to travel anywhere this summer, be sure to check this map before leaving so you'll know how to properly request soft drinks wherever you go. Or, for fun, intentionally use the wrong generic name. Bwuahahahahaha!!!!
