What about the small blasphemous region calling it soda pop?

2079: Buffalo has the most temperate climate on the planet and still calls Pop by it's proper name.

I wonder why calling it pop made it only to far western NY and then soda in the rest of Upstate? There was a lot of trade between Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, especially with the advent of the Erie Canal.

Where is "soft drink" on this map?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Soft drinks include any non hard drink, including all the non carbonated stuff. This is specifically referring to carbonated beverages.

where's soda pop

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

The correct term is obviously "beer"

How funny would it be if one state was completely colored red and it was "but of the old sweet and bubbly" or some shit.

I say "cola" if it is a cola type drink, and soda if it isn't. Raised in the Midwest for background.

Canada has your back. It's not nearly as grim as it seems. We can fight for the world we deserve and win

Woah, I grew up in Portland, do they really call it soda there now? That's wild.
