Via the Gamer's Nook and Neil Gaiman, a map that breaks down the percentage of people who call soft drinks by various slang terms.
I myself have started to convert to the local slang. I called soft drinks "soda" for years, since I lived in NY, which is nearly universally "Soda" country, and then in California, which is mostly "Soda country".
Now, though, everyone here calls it pop, as shown on the map. I've noticed that I have started "slipping" and doing the same, just so I can be understood better.
