    They do in in PA too. I’ve lived here almost my whole life and I hate it. Pittsburghese is a fucking travesty of human language.

    I once announced to a room full of Minnesotans that I was going to get a pop.

    The shameful walk to the coke machine felt very lonely as I contemplated all that had led me there.

      This seems to apply to most of the upper midwest. Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio etc.

      From Iowa, can confirm.

        From Wisconsin. Can also confirm: soda = pop and water fountain = bubbler. I remember my first trip down south. I got laughed at at a rest stop asking for pop and held that shit as a core memory for years.

    Also Michigan and much of Indiana (not sure of Indianapolis and south of there). You get a little bit of it in western NY state too.

    I grew up saying ‘pop,’ but have acquiesced to saying ‘soda’ once I moved outside of Michigan.

    From places that I have lived and worked - in western NY it is Pop in Rochester and Buffalo, but somewhere between Rochester and Syracuse it becomes Soda! Also, it is quite shocking to go to Texas and be asked “What kind of Coke do you want?”

    Fuck yeah. From my understanding Faygo was a big reason we call it pop. Rock & Rye is probably the greatest flavor of any pop.
