Root beer and birch beer are great, but I can't stomach Dr. Pepper. It's like drinking cough medicine... I grew up in the blue section, and I've never not called it "soda"

The full name is soda pop, in which soda is the adjective and pop is the noun. Thus, "pop" is the accurate and correct term.

Deteriorata posted:"Pop" is used a lot in the northern midwest and northeast (Michigan to New York, roughly). Soft drinks were originally sold in bottles with cork stoppers and a metal bail. Remove the cork produced a pop, and they were known as pop bottles. Then metal capping was invented, but the name stuck. I wish they'd re-release em in the old style bottles with the corks. That looks awesome.

I'm from Michigan, but spent some time in the Norcal region. Memorize this map. Choosing the wrong word for your carbonated beverage is grounds for fights to the death most places.

Most of us don't realize that 4 oz. sticks of butter are shaped differently on the West Coast vs. East Coast. Let's go all Tupac vs. Biggie on this argument none of us knew we were having.

West coast best coast. Short fat sticks of butter stack better in the butter tray on most refrigerators and leave less vertical clearance; this should be relevant to goons for whom storing a universe of butter is a necessary weekly chore

This is pretty fun: New York Times Regional Dialect Quiz It does remarkably well at pinning down where you grew up, tempered by where your parents grew up, based on what you call things.
