I’m from the pink area and I’ve always called it soda. I’m almost 50 years old.

That isn’t the Gulf of Mexico *or* the Gulf of America. That is the Pep Sea.

I grew up in central Alabama and I’ve heard almost zero people call all soft drinks, cokes. I’ve worked in food service and grocery retail nearly 20 years. Occasionally a random elderly person does it but they usually, actually mean Coca Cola.

I usually say pop but it can go all three ways in central Indiana, as the map suggests.

Finally an accurate map. I live in the soda part of Wisconsin.

Josephine and Jackson County, Oregon, say soda while the rest of the state says pop. Interesting.

I got use to saying soda because I had a friend in Georgia who would yell at me if I said anything else.

Just a reminder that these are averages and you are one person.

Soda is becoming more prevalent in Tennessee thanks to a massive influx of Californians. I’m from eastern Iowa and I would say it’s a 60/40 mix of Soda:Pop.

We often just said drink interchangeably with soda where I lived growing up.

I lived in Indianapolis for three years and the only time you’d ever hear it called Coke was if it was Coca Cola, otherwise it was 50/50 on soda vs pop

That purple blob in Central West Virginia is absolute nonsense. It’s primarily soda here unless you are over 70. Then it’s pop.

This is an old map. There are other posts on Reddit that show updates, where soda has taken over a much larger territory. In the midwest and pushing into the south a bit.

NE Ohio is pop country for sure.

I only say coke when asked what I want to drink. I grew up in southern Indiana. So this checks out for me.
But here’s the thing, if I’m at a restaurant that has Coke products, I never want anything but a Coke. If I’m at a restaurant with Pepsi products, I want nothing but a Mountain Dew. So at a a place with Pepsi, when they say “what do you want to drink?” And I say “Coke”, the next statement is typically “we only have Pepsi products, will Pepsi be ok?” To which I reply “I’ll have a Mountain Dew”. They always give me a weird look but it’s never an issue.
Now if I could get Big Red, I would for sure order that instead.

In Texas, back in the 80s-00s we’d call all soda coke, but I’ve transitioned to saying Soda now. Pop just feels wrong. „Wanna coke?“ „Sure, I’m take a sprite.“
