We were just talking about the Soda vs. Pop vs. Coke issue with our friends in Lebanon, so I believe it's serendipitous (is that a word?) to stumble upon this map, which clears up hundreds of years of slanderous debate. Oh wait, sorry.... that's just the presidential race. :)
"When on a hot summer’s day you buy a carbonated beverage to quench your thirst, how do you order it? Do you ask for a soda, a pop or something else?"
See the map and read the article:

hmmm. I've always been a "soda" gal, with "coke" as a close second. And I grew up in Northern California, which is clearly soda land, but right next door to Trinity county, the lone "coke" county in our fair state.
wierd.
Haven't checked your blog lately!
Where I grew up in the Philippines, you always said Pepsi. Under the decades-plus dictatorship (Marcos), Pepsi had a monopoly and Coke was rare so we grew up calling it Pepsi:-) But now I say soda. But I differentiate between "colored" soda (Coke, Pepsi) vs. clear (7 Up, Sprite) which I don't like. So not-PC, huh?
