What Do You Call a Soda?
by POPSUGAR Food 55

This map shows the popular generic names for soft drinks by county. I'm really surprised, I thought more states used the word "soda" instead of "pop" and I actually didn't realize that so many people used the word "coke" to mean all soda.

I've never posted before but this topic brought me out...I'm from Minneapolis and we call it Pop and only Pop...when I came home from college saying Soda my friends and family lost their minds when I would say Soda...they'd laugh and laugh because it sounds so 'geeky' to them - you gotta admit Pop is a cooler word than soda...soda is what you put in a cocktail - soda water = tonic water...growing up when they would say soda on t.v. shows we'd wonder why they were saying that!
And here in Minnesota we say Tennis Shoes (i.e."Where are my tennies" or "I love your new tenna shoes") when we are referring to what the rest of the coutnry calls Sneakers...I can't imagine ever saying Sneakers! LOL!
