News to me at least...
Ok, so we all know that people talk differently in different parts of the US (accents or whatever) but I just heard something, and I absolutely MUST find out if it's true! Now, what I have discovered be traveling around most of the US, is that people call things by different names. For example; a can of Pepsi. Anywhere East of Minnesota, it is called "Soda" as is the story from Iowa to Southern Missouri. South of that point, every fizzy beverage is called a "Coke." I'm not sure about y'all to the west, but when I was in Montana, they said "Soda" a lot. According to my sources, Minnesota pretty much the only state that says "Pop". The disclaimer is certain parts of eastern North Dakota (bordering MN, so it's basically the same thing.) Now, I was thinking to myself, "Self...no way can this be true!" So, please let me know if you guys say "pop" cuz that would bust this myth!

Well, I think here we to say things like, "What kinda soda ya got?" And then if they have "Pepsi" and we want one, then we say, "I'll have a Pepsi." I think us Californians are very particular about sodas.
