pop and location (2013, title, area)

[Prickly Pear]

I prefer Pepsi but that's probably because when I was in Europe for three months I just got so sick of Coke I could never go back. Before that trip, I definitely preferred Coke.

I am from Arizona.

That brings up an interesting question. Where in the country do people refer to sodas as "pop"?

I live in SW Michigan and that is what is called here. What other areas of the uses the word "pop"?

Pepsi in Montreal

Houston. The only soda I buy is Sprite. Other than that I'll drink whatever's available.

I try to only drink ginger ale or soda with real cane sugar like Hanks.

I am in Texas. I don't know what "pop" is (other than a noise you hear sometimes) but out of the selections you posted, I much prefer Coke. In fact, Texans call all soft drinks "Coke."

I'm kidding of course. Sort of. But there's an element of truth to my statement!

Well I am.aware that people in the northern states tend to call it pop while in the south its more commonly called soda or yes even "coke". I have seen someone refer to it as coke but instead.of grabbing a coke grabbed a 7up lol

Dr. Pepper because its Texan.

I prefer Coke and live in the Twin Cities (and yes, we call it "pop" here), but I don't think there's any major consensus on cola brand preference around here.

I don't always drink pop, but when I do, I drink Pepsi. Coke is vile!

I'm originally from the Toledo, OH area.
