I can't stand it when people call it soda...that reeks of New England elitism.

It is POP, dang it. :)

Interesting map, Karl!

In Minnesota, we call it "pop" just like the map indicates.

Where did you get the map from?

Can someone explain, regarding the "pop"/"soda" map, who calls soda "Coke"? Since when (and where) is "Coke" a generic name for a carbonated soft drink? Does this mean that grape soda is called "grape coke"?

I grew up in Rochester, New York and it was POP there. I moved a couple of hours east of Rochester, and they call it SODA here.
