I grew up in Wisconsin, but have live in AZ for the past 20+ years. One of my friends sent this and I thought that some of you would enjoy it. Take care and God bless.

I wonder where the pop/soda line really is. I know if you ask someone in western and northern Wisconsin for another name for soft drink, the correct answer will POP into their heads.

I grew up using the term soda in upstate new York (still do here in Arizona, hence my small children do). I cringe when I hear people say POP.

You can give me a 'soda', but never a 'pop'(bottle of pop or can of pop, maybe)--south central WI native.
