i’ve lived in the south (or “New France”) all my life and i’ve only heard a few people use the generic “coke”, mostly people from new orleans and eastwards. “cold drink” said with a heavy accent is much more common among both black folk and coonasses

Saladman posted:That Twitter-based one fits much closer to my lived experience, but even in that one I think "coke" is going to be overrepresented by their methodology since it's kind of the "default" soft drink. Like if you order a "diet soda" in Switzerland you might get a coke without more questions from a waiter, but there's no way you'd ever get a Rivella if you asked for a diet coke. And they're getting false positives from everyone who's talking about the actual Coca Cola, how does that not make the entire thing useless

^^^ Their methodology said they tried to specifically remove references to Coca Cole The Drink, but I don't know how they would realistically do that, given the inability separate "I want a coke" meaning "I want a coca cola" versus "I want a sprite"SlothfulCobra posted:I can understand coke in the east south, since that's the heartland of where Coca Cola was founded, but Texas is supposed to be the home of the third American soda company. I've been thinking about it and while I haven't lived in the south in more than a decade, my memory is of "soft drinks" being by far the most common generic term used, like if you wanted someone to bring drinks to a party. Like for those pop-vs-soda-vs-coke maps, if those 3 terms represent like 20% of the overall usage of the generic word, then it's almost a meaningless regionalism. Like if it was some survey about "what do you call Marijuana?" and there were only three responses "Sticky Icky, Dope, Mary Jane" plus "Other" when in actuality like, 95% of people would just call it "weed" in any region, but if you HAD to pick between those three and "other", many people would probably select one of those three as a "yeah I guess if someone called it Mary Jane I'd know what they were talking about and would not necessarily call them out for talking like a weirdo."

Family Values posted:Whenever this map gets posted the soda exclave centered on St. Louis always catches my eye. Does anyone have an explanation for how it evaded the pop curse? St. Louis is heavily influenced by the Northeast and used to receive a lot of transplants from the NE, obviously that was like 30-40 years ago while the economy was still good. It also is a heavily catholic town compared to the rest of the Midwest. So it exists in sort of this half midwest half northeast culture and the "soda" name is part of that.

I've been to Normandy and you don't really need bars there. You just stop at the nearest farm and buy a bottle of 70-80% calvados.

The far northern part of France, near Belgium, is a former industrial region and actually fairly densely populated (we often get news stories of French cross-border criminals brutally terrorizing innocent Flemings). But yeah, Paris not being redder is weird. I guess you would probably get the largest red area where there are a lot of population centers in close proximity, each of them large enough to have one or more bars, and that checks out, but you would still expect Paris's red to be more solid. It might be that we're all overthinking it and this is, in fact, a terrible map as the hashtag would suggest

Kurtofan posted:brittany has more bars than people i'm pretty sure I can verify this to be true. There has to be a bar every 200m or so in order to ensure the population has enough alcohol to deal with the weather during the fall and winter.

Phlegmish posted:But yeah, Paris not being redder is weird. There's a bar every 5 meters in Paris, but there's also 300 million people living every 5 meters. Paris has achieved booze homeostasis thanks to a combination of bar profitability and rent unsustainability. When and only when a bar cannot possibly accept one more patron, a new bar gets founded within spitting distance.

 Type H makes me angry because it's used over so small of a territory that you can't even see it on the map, and there's no good reason for it to be so isolated.

Northern Macedonia being linked to the Macedonian Empire is probably going to trigger Byzantine. It's kind of a neat idea, but of course very hard to implement in any logical or consistent manner.
