<p>Taking into consideration the Buffalo comment, I think that the closer you are to the Great Lakes, the more likely you are to say pop since Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago are all right on one of the Great Lakes.</p>
<p>We call it carbonated sugar drinks here.</p>
<p>Everybody here ¶ says soda…</p>
<p>WICKED!!! <3 New England</p>
<p>Yes, we say soda. Pop is what you do to corn for a tasty snack.</p>
<p>pop isn’t just a chicago thing, it’s a midwestern thing too. Soda is used mainly on the coasts.</p>
<p>We call it soda in the Northeast. Another thing I noticed we say, at least in Massachusetts, is wicked, as in an adjective meaning “very”, like wicked awesome.</p>
<p>EDIT: Haha, jellxtoxthexo, you beat me to it!</p>
<p>its soda overhere in noCal (just as the map suggests)</p>
<p>I agree with tmanneopen/jellxtoxthexo, wicked is way overused here; especially wicked awesome 
</p>
<p>Oh, and I’ve never heard anyone say pop; just soda. </p>
<p>It’s the same thing with Subs, right? (Hogies, Grinders, etc.)</p>
<p>EDIT: has anyone from MA heard people say “brah(sp?)” or “wicked ****a;” I’ve heard that’s commonly used but I’ve never heard anyone use it. Ever.</p>
<p>I used to live in new orleans and everyone called it soda or coke. i recently moved to alberta, canada (north of montana) and everyone calls it pop. My mom used to live in Boston (they call it tonic) and salt lake city (they call it fountain water).</p>
<p>lol yeah i say “soda” im from the midwest</p>
<p>Izzy Busy Bee, I’m from Boston and I’ve never heard the word tonic to refer to anything other than that tonic water (fizzy water?)</p>
<p>oh well, she lived there in the 80’s.</p>
<p>Northwest and midwest say pop, northeast and southwest say soda, and southeast says coke</p>
<p>I always say pop also.</p>
<p>soft drinks or coke</p>
<p>Soda, soft drinks w/e.</p>
<p>The only people I know who don’t say soda are my relatives from Pittsburgh, who say “pop.”</p>
<p>It’s pop people. It’s POP. </p>
<p>Anyway, really weird word in my opinion –> in Wisconsin people call drinking fountains “bubblers”. So weird…</p>
<p>haha. Bubblers? </p>
<p>Kind of off topic, but my friend from Australia calls lollipops “suckers” and erasers “rubbers”. There were a lot more, but I can’t remember them right now. I couldn’t understand her for the longest time…haha.</p>
<p>We call them suckers here (Detroit). Didn’t even know there was another name for them until I moved to California.</p>
