Pop, Coke or Soda?

In Michigan (...where nearly 100% of the cans and bottles are recycled because of the ten cent deposit on all soft drinks.) growing up, I called it, "Pop."

In New Orleans, I was dumbfounded when a waitress first asked me, "What kind of Coke do you want?" Now I would think, "Does she mean in a baggie, or a can?" ...just kidding. I remember thinking, "What they fuck is she on? If I said, "Coke" I want "Coca-Cola." If I wanted grape, I would say grape. If I wanted 7-Up, I would say 7-Up."

Now I learned my lesson about telling where I learned stuff, and heck, if I found about about something, I think I should tell them thank you. This is thanks to Morgan, one of the owners of Cybersocket Magazine. I was at his desk asking him a question about some other stuff and he had this on his desk. After I told him out ridiculous he is for having such a crazy piece of information on his wall, I wanted to share it. *wink* Thanks, Morgan.

Now thanks to this site, www.popvssoda.com, you can find out by geographical area, what's appropriate to say when you are parched.
