We call them pop in Canada too!
It’s called pop in all of Canada too. An easy way to spot an american tourist is when they say soda.
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.
Odd, I’ve been in MN forever and I’m looked at like an idiot for calling it soda.
I never heard anyone up there call it soda either.
I was in Arizona recently and a waiter looked at me like I was an idiot asking what kind of pop they had.
They were probably just confused.
Chicago will take tree hot dogs and tree pops. Tanks.
Fuck yeah. From my understanding Faygo was a big reason we call it pop. Rock & Rye is probably the greatest flavor of any pop.
Meanwhile, me, in Texas:
All soda is Coke.
I can hardly express my terror when I first moved away and ordered a coke and they just handed me some random ass coke.
Like they didn’t even ask what kind I wanted.
Are you saying in Texas to order a drink you’d go, “I’ll have a coke”, “what kind?”, “Sprite”…?!?
Yeah, I basically only drank sprites at the time lol
That’s amazing.
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?”
They call it pop here in North-East of England as well.
Spot on!
And the north west 👍
Can someone tell me what Rock & Rye Faygo actually tastes like, because ive been told that it tastes nothing like a Rock & Rye cocktail
Red cream soda I think.
Very sweet coke, if I recall. I haven’t had any faygo in a while since graduating from uni in an area that actually stocked Faygo.
You know smoothies?
We call 'em blendies
I once lived at the soda/pop border:
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.
But do you drink mostly Faygo? lol
Lol, I did when I was a teenager, but I don’t drink much soda at all these days, besides the occasional root beer or ginger beer.

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.
Oregon rep the pop mfers
What do all you rednecks call Coke if everything is Coke?
