Soda vs. pop
Posted by Ben on July 6th, 2004
The age old question - is it soda or is it pop? Finally, an answer.
I’m originally from soda country (Madison County, IL), am currently (for 2 more days) living in soda country (Lewis County, NY), and then moving into pop countrry (Cook County, IL). Fortunately, the Chicago area has enough transplants that it’s not firmly pop.
It is kind of weird how there’s a huge pocket of “soda” centered around St. Louis, MO and Milwaukee, WI. Wonder why that is?

Pop. To define my preference for “Pop” sounds like a fun little exercise.
One Syllable.
Spelled the same backwards and forwards.
Sounds bubbly.
Goes well with other words like “Pop” Music, “Pop”ular Mechanics, “Pop”ular Science, and “Pop” Goes the Weasel.
Can be used as a noun or verb. I like to drink POP! Someone should POP Tara a good one!
Say it loud, say it proud, Pop.
