A map of the generic names for soft drinks by county in the US.
I’ve lived in Kootenai and Ada counties of Idaho (both “Pop 50%-80%”) and am confused about whether it’s “Pop” or “Soda”. It’d be interesting to see color blends based on the top 2 names… “Pop” is slightly preferred in Idaho, and I just have to assume “Soda” is the second (but possibly 49%) name.
I wondered what the strong “other” name is in central New Mexico and some Texas counties?
Ah… most likely a Tarzan Slam.

I like this survey! I’ve always been a soda drinker myself
Yep, and I don’t really know these “Pop” people that are hiding, I guess, in eastern Idaho.
I’m a ‘Soda’ person also. Not sure I even know anyone who calls it ‘Pop.’ Weird.
I…llike…to…say….POP! There…I…come…out…of….hiding. ooga booga
I call it both, I used to be just a “pop” person, now I say “soda” being around my husband originally from the Altoona area, and me from Pittsburgh he brought “soda” down from there to me. Things you catch from others…geesh.
