You Say Tomato, I say Coke

Pop-vs-Soda-US-Map

Demographers at East Central (Oklahoma) University prepared this map showing what soft drinks are commonly called, by county, across the USA.

I remember being in Muskogee, Oklahoma, as a child and having an aunt ask me if I wanted a pop.  I thought she was about to hit me like the guy in the Hawaiian Punch ads.

Interesting map, but unlike the multi-ethnic folks in my Sunday post , soft drink consumers are forced to pick just one name.  There is no color on the map for soda pop.
