    It’s called pop in all of Canada too. An easy way to spot an american tourist is when they say soda.

    Fuck yeah. From my understanding Faygo was a big reason we call it pop. Rock & Rye is probably the greatest flavor of any pop.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      This seems to apply to most of the upper midwest. Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio etc.

      From Iowa, can confirm.

    Also Michigan and much of Indiana (not sure of Indianapolis and south of there). You get a little bit of it in western NY state too.

    I grew up saying ‘pop,’ but have acquiesced to saying ‘soda’ once I moved outside of Michigan.
