Pop is such an antiquated Midwestern word that I usually only hear it from people who say they worsh themselves in a crick with all their cousins. There’s a whole dialect attached to that word.
😞 I say pop, but also “creek” and “wash”
I have been swimming in a creek with my cousins to get clean enough to be allowed into the house after playing in a pasture
starting to suspect I am antiquated 🤔

We need to recognize Pop and roll back these Soda colonizer settlements to the 1947 border.
From the 48th parallel to the Rio grande,
and sea to shining sea,
we’ll liberate this sweet soda land from pop and coke,
you’ll see!
POP AM BYTH!
Interesting that in both cases the regions with greater wealth and power won the majority. Control the spice control the universe 🌈
its hegemony, innit
Diabetes Juice
Patriot Punch!
those aren’t based patriots… they’re woke coastal elites 😔
i moved to the upper midwest and started saying pop purely as a gesture against cultural homogenization
We thank you for that.
I’ve noticed this shift personally. Lived my whole life in PNW, grew up calling it pop and thought soda was a weird word.
Now my friends and I all call it soda or sodie but my parents still call it pop.

I can understand calling it “pop” but calling all soda “coke” seems really strange to me but maybe I just haven’t hung around enough southerners?
I agree, coke is either the brand, or the nose candy
My paternal family is all southern. I’ve never heard anyone use coke as a generic term.
My grandma did it. “Do you want a coke?””Sure””What would you like, we’ve got Dr Pepper and Sprite” was a normal conversation. Absolutely absurd.
I think this is more regional than the map would suggest. I heard this all the time. Even said it. And if you wanted Coca Cola when asked what type of coke, you could just say ‘regular’. Pronounced ‘rag-lur’.
I think we need to compromise and all agree on ‘sodypop’
I love that the Coke blob is most of Georgia with a huge cutout around Atlanta, where Coca-Cola is headquartered
We live in a pop zone, I am a proud popper… And yet my partner, born and raised here, calls it soda. We are a family at war.

We’ve divided the theater, secured our transcontinental supply lines, and now we’re just mopping up.
Smh my head, COASTAL ELITES engaging in COLONIALISM and CULTURAL GENOCIDE
As a pop drinker, it never made sense to me that people in the south call all soda “coke”.
It’s kinda like calling all tissues Kleenex except I don’t get asked “what kind of Kleenex would you like” at the cash register
Brand hogs
I’ve literally never encountered this outside Atlanta (one guess as to why).
I say sodey pop
