Pop V. Soda

One of the stranger things I recall coming across when I was a wee lad was the difference in terminologies from region to region. At age ten, I visited some relatives in West Virginia, and wheneven I was a guest in their house, they would ask me if I wanted a "pop". What they heck was "pop"? Eventually realizing that they meant "soda", I accepted, but never could get over how weird it was to call soda "pop". Well, here's a map that makes sense of it all. If any of you plan on traveling throughout the United States and/or Canada, this will help you tremendously to make sense of where to order a soda, a pop, or a Coke.
