The south is easily persuaded, hence brand name
Soda is what it is, comes from soda fountain, soda water etc.
Midwest on some otherworldly cute BS. Dafuq is pop, the sound it makes?!
TIL Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado are part of the midwest.
Chart gaslighting the public to think Washingtonians say 'pop'. Usually people say Soda here.
Pop! Pop!
You know they're laughing at you, right? I mean that's my theory.
The sound it makes is exactly where the name comes from. Also there were people in soda territory also calling it pop as well way back in the day. That's why the term "soda pop" exists.
You can see a D.C. newspaper from the mid 1800s calling it pop in this wiki article.
When I asked for a Dr Pepper in Tennessee the waitress said 'here's your coke'. So I said 'wait, I didn't order a coke' and she said ' it's Dr Pepper'. I thought she was flirting with me, so I started smiling at her and gave her a nice tip. This whole interaction now makes a bit more sense.
I dunno where they got this data from, but the PNW is definitely not "pop" country in my experience.
Yeah around here in Cascadia we just call it “the dark waters of imperialism”.
It was when I grew up there. 80s-90s.
There was still a “Pop” aisle at my QFC until at least 2014.
i don't want to be in a place that calls it pop that's stupid as fuck
Coke is just as stupid, referring to any soft drink
it's stupid but the drink is also stupid and im not fat
idk who in Washington or Oregon calls it pop this map is inaccurate
I think the west side is a lot more blue than that. I've never once heard somebody refer to it as pop.
soda pop
Where is Carbonated Beverage on the graph?
Utah should be a lot more blue, everyone says "soda" here.
Same with Colorado. I don't think I heard "pop" once in the 20 years I lived there
And Oregon. The only people that call it 'pop' here are 80+, and it's rare for them. I used to hear it called 'pop' by the elderly all the time when I was a kid, but that demographic has been dying out for the past twenty years.
doesnt coke refer to coca cola specifically?
also pop sounds dumb as hell, soda all the way.
Not in the South lol. My grandma asks what kind of Coke I want, mountain dew or coca cola
Remember the Game?
The 1997 Fincher movie or the one that you just lost?
Oh right. Like #368 on list of reasons to hate the South, though.
Just a soda girlie living in a pop world fr fr 😔
Anyone else remember Soul Calibur 2 Conquest mode?
As somebody from Tulsa I can confirm that Oklahoma is a weird mishmash of ‘anything goes’. People will literally say “soda pop”.
obamna/ soda
Wow, the evil forces of "coke" have made significant territory gains since the last time I saw one of these maps. I have never heard a single person call a random non-coke soda a "coke". I recently moved to a "pop" area, but I haven't received any push back from saying soda at least. I did hear some old people here specifically call it "soda pop" though.
What's going on down in Columbus County, North Carolina?
Strong guess: “Pepsi” the same way people use “Coke”
The UK map of where people say “scone” or “scone” is wild.
