What about Sody-Pop? Or Co-Cola?

That map looks about right to me. When I grew up in Sullivan County New Hampshire, it was "soda". Here in Washington, everyone calls it "pop".

You can give me a soda or a pop as long as it is a Coke.

I'm a New Yorker and its always been "Coke" for me.

When I moved to Chicago, and heard everyone asking for "pop" I felt like I had moved to another planet.

Tracks pretty closely with the red/blue map. "Pop" and "Coke" people are for Bush, "Soda" people are for Kerry. ;)

This is kind of like when you go to a grocery store. Up north you get a paper "bag". Down south you get a "sack".

BTW: I am a "pop" person.

Thanks for this! In college, we often did impromptu surveys about what you called soft drinks - interesting that this map pretty much matches our impressions.

Soda here in Central Illinois, but I grew up in Kentucky, so to me its coke.

Apparently, I fit well into my county (Hillsborough, FL). 50-80% of us call all carbonated drinks "Coke."

I grew up in Texas and always called it "coke". After 15 years of marriage to a man whose family is from St. Louis, it is now "soda". My kids all say "soda", too.

Cute post for the Christmas week.

Does anyone still ask for "a dope"?

In South Georgia it is Coke although I have heard people say soda. I don't think I have ever heard pop except on tv.

I prefer the term "Carbonated Soft Drink" or "Effervescent Beverage". Those really roll off the tongue.

The correct term is 'coke,' not to be confused with 'Coke,' which is a particular type of coke.
