soda or pop?

[Lord of the Poles]

I actually call it Coke... but I'm usually talking about Coke when I say that...lol... otherwise I call it Soda

(most of the time I'm referring to Coke )

I believe the map is quite good. I grew up in southern Ohio and almost everyone called it pop. I went to Ohio State University and everyone except the out-of-state students from the Northeast called it pop. I worked in Michigan and almost everyone called it pop. I'm now in eastern upstate NY, and everyone calls it soda. However, when I travel to Buffalo and Rochester, almost everyone calls it pop. When I travel to Syracuse and New England, almost everyone calls it soda. I wonder how people who live on the lines of demarcation, like somewhere between Rochester and Syracuse, communicate when they want a carbonated beverage? They must do a lot of pointing.

Looks like in Vancouver, BC, it is "pop." I'm at a hotel where the sign reads "Ice and Pop" with an arrow pointing to the ice and soda machines.

We call them "sodas" here.

Growing up in North Carolina, we called them "Drinks" (sounds like "draahhnks" when "properly" pronounced in N.C.).
