Yoda Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Interesting. Although the map shows a small quantity of respondants and was taken from five years ago, you can pretty much differentiate the favorable term for different regions of the country. Pop being the most dominate one overall. Personally I would always incline to saying "pop" but later went back to "soda." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 01:42 PM) How the hell could you call a Pepsi a Coke? Never could understand that. We talked about this when I was still in school once. It's kinda the same as calling all tissues Kleenex or all bandages Band-Aid or all cotton swabs Q-tips. They are specifec product names but have gradually become used as the generic name for all. Edited September 10, 2008 by Iwritecode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
