they use the word pop  in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota. I think soda is a southern thing.

and yes, "soda" is southern thing. But I could've used either and went for the alliteration.

The worst is places in the south that say "Coke" to mean any kind of soda/pop.  It just leads to poor communication in my opinion.

The term soda is used all along the North East coast. NYC, Boston, etc.

They start calling it pop somewhere in eastern Pennsylvania (I know it is pop in Pittsburgh).

How far north and east it goes from there I do not know.

Didn't it used to be called "soda pop" (none / 0)
I swear in older movies it was, in which case some areas took the soda while others took the pop.  How it became to be called that in the first place, I'm not sure.

Then again the "pop" from the bubbles might be a clue.
