Soda, Pop, Or Coke
The most important linguistic issue of our age
Yes, it’s the Great Pop vs. Soda Controversy. You would not believe how much my kids argue with me over this; I grew up in Washington, where we say “pop”, and my kids came of age in Philadelphia, where the philistines all say “soda”. Now I have this map to show where all the right-thinking Blue Staters live…and Minnesota is solidly blue, for “pop”.
pop vs. soda
Blue is for “pop”, yellow-brown is for “soda”, and red is for the real heretics, who say “coke” for everything (yet another reason to kick the south out of the union.)
I wonder what caused that ugly crater of soda at the Missouri/southern Illinois border…Mormons?

Doesn't that make it hard to tell if someone is wanting a Pepsi or Coke (brand)?

Thanks Justin. It had to be a good one for me to finally take Doofy down after two and a half years.

I say "cool frosty beverage" or "soft drink". Started it just being a dumbass, but kept going just to be different.
