As somebody from Tulsa I can confirm that Oklahoma is a weird mishmash of ‘anything goes’. People will literally say “soda pop”.
Soda pop is the correct term. Soda and pop are just shortened versions.
I don’t think “correct” really applies here. “Original” maybe.
Let’s just go with “soda pop” being the formal name. What I’m saying is the shortened forms are secondary.
The formal name would be carbonated beverage
That is a superset. Beer is a carbonated beverage but definitely not pop. Pellegrino also.
Remember the Game?
I think the west side is a lot more blue than that. I’ve never once heard somebody refer to it as pop.
Coke is not synonymous with either pop or soda…
Found the european
It is in the south, at least where i was
How do you order an actual coke in the south?
The real question is “how do they order other sodas”. The answer is extra steps.
I’d imagine you just say the name of the other soda. I don’t say “I’d like a Dr. Pepper soda” after all.
I’ll have a coke, please.
“Ill have a coke” “What kind?” “Regular” or whatever you want, “pepsi”, “diet”, “dr pepper” etc
Call it a coca-cola.
“When I first come to America I wanted a cola and I say ‘cola?’ and they would be like ‘excuse me?’ and I say ‘cola. Cola. Cola!’ but it wasn’t cola; it was cock. Right? You would say ‘i want cock.’”
That’s because they people there are ignorant.
Where was that? I was in Georgia for most of my life. Everyone I knew said Coke when they actually wanted a Coke. Soda was the generalized term.
Texas
not true at all, born and bred texan and literally nobody says coke unless they want coke
Wow its almost like theres dofferent experiences for different people in different parts of a huge state. We have a third texan weighing in that it is true right below you.
worked in restaurants for a long time in the most populous area and never heard that, so the chart is wrong in that area specifically. been all over texas and also never heard it anywhere so I’m willing to bet this is all just bullshit
I can confirm this. I’ve graduated to just calling everything by its name brand at this point.
Source?
Wow, the evil forces of “coke” have made significant territory gains since the last time I saw one of these maps. I have never heard a single person call a random non-coke soda a “coke”. I recently moved to a “pop” area, but I haven’t received any push back from saying soda at least. I did hear some old people here specifically call it “soda pop” though.
obamna/ soda
The south is easily persuaded, hence brand name
Soda is what it is, comes from soda fountain, soda water etc.
Midwest on some otherworldly cute BS. Dafuq is pop, the sound it makes?!
The sound it makes is exactly where the name comes from. Also there were people in soda territory also calling it pop as well way back in the day. That’s why the term “soda pop” exists.
You can see a D.C. newspaper from the mid 1800s calling it pop in this wiki article.
Pop! Pop!
You know they’re laughing at you, right? I mean that’s my theory.
TIL Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado are part of the midwest.
Chart gaslighting the public to think Washingtonians say ‘pop’. Usually people say Soda here.
ICP and pop - is there a curse at Faygo?
Cringe is a blessing and a curse
doesnt coke refer to coca cola specifically?
also pop sounds dumb as hell, soda all the way.
Not in the South lol. My grandma asks what kind of Coke I want, mountain dew or coca cola
I dunno where they got this data from, but the PNW is definitely not “pop” country in my experience.
It was when I grew up there. 80s-90s.
There was still a “Pop” aisle at my QFC until at least 2014.
Yeah around here in Cascadia we just call it “the dark waters of imperialism”.
i don’t want to be in a place that calls it pop that’s stupid as fuck
idk who in Washington or Oregon calls it pop this map is inaccurate
Coke is just as stupid, referring to any soft drink
it’s stupid but the drink is also stupid and im not fat
What’s going on down in Columbus County, North Carolina?
Oh right. Like #368 on list of reasons to hate the South, though.
I saw we saw off everything south of the Mason Dixon line and deport all the Republicans to it.
Just a soda girlie living in a pop world fr fr 😔
Where is Carbonated Beverage on the graph?
