Lies, I've seen people calling Pepsi products "Coke" in Colorado. According to this map its just the West side of the state where all the dumb mountain folk live.

New Mexico and the Virginias look varied. Is there a map with other local terms? Like who says hoagie, hero, grinder, or sub?

Yeah, I went to visit a college in Wisconsin and I asked for a soda at a restaurant. The waitress had no clue what I was saying and looked at me like I was crazy. Same thing goes for pocketbook=purse. New Mexico looks like it's a little confused.

Haha!

Our drummer was from Oregon. He asked us if we wanted some "pop" the other day. We all looked at him like "What the hell are you, a 60 year old woman?"

We asked him "Dont you mean...soda?" And then he looked at us the same way.

This happened to me when I moved from California to Washington. I say soda, and every says pop. I hate saying pop, it reminds me of that one song by Justin Timberloser. I made a funny.

thats so awsome! I remember taking that survey some time ago. very interesting, that little bastion of "soda" in SE wisconson, thats why everyone i know in Chicago says soda instead of pop.

I live in Virginia, in Redneckland.

I said soda. I think everyone else just says drink, pepsi, or coke.

People in West Virginia and Minnesota say pop. They suck. >:�

I'm from the St. Louis area and we say soda. I have a friend who moved here from Olathe, Kansas about seven years ago. He said pop when he first moved here, but after a couple years he started calling it soda too.
