I figured as much. Once those who call it pop realize they are a very small minority, maybe they'll learn how to name it correctly.

Well, that is just for my county. Looks like the northern half of Illinois calls it pop, while the southern prefers soda.

Though, I do hear those abominations "sody" or "sodypop" used sometimes.

Nationally, "Pop" is in the lead by 3308 votes. Soda is the minority. ATOT's demographic is just placed more in the Soda areas.

it's definitely "pop" around here.. it's really weird when someone says soda...

That is pretty accurate map on their website. I bet if the votes were taken out of the south for people who were transplanted from up north, the coke vote would be even more lopsided.

It's neat to see all the maps at the other site linked in there. They did dialects things for TONS of different words...

Really neat info.

don't forget the stealth choice that everyone sees but no one remembers:

SOFT DRINKS

I heard a theory once linking soda/pop/coke debate to how people vote in presidental elections...have to see if I can find it... Well we know which one Bush would choose

pop/soda/coke


lol

Whoever calls it "pop" needs to be popped in the face.

 

[sciencewhiz]

it looks like pop and coke people vote for Bush, and soda people vote for Kerry.

 

[Rustynuts]

That's because "pop" comes at the ASS-end of "sodapop", which explains the Bush analogy.
