Alright Midwest peeps let’s settle this heated debate.
Pop or Soda?
Michigander here - Pop.
Pop in iowa
I say POP…my wife says SODA…so my kids say SODA POP
STL: “soda” or “sodie”
I knew a lot of folks in southern Indiana who said Coke.
Personally I prefer soda.
Alabama here, we say coke even though I can’t stand coke
Well it sure ain’t coke!
Northwest Indiana and we say Pop.
Pop (in Illinois)
Pop
grew up in Michigan where everyone says “pop,” decided to start saying “soda” when I was 14 cuz I wanted to rebel. I can say either now, but typically say “pop” in Michigan so I don’t get any funny looks
So we’re fighting already? lmao
Yes, yes we are. The lines have been drawn! lol
As someone who lives in “pop” land, eternally soda
Northern Illinois checking in. It’s pop.
Soda is where ya go for the land of 10,000 lakes.
Strangely, Decatur, IL is in the “soda” region, but my family usually says, “pop.” I knew a guy from Peoria that said “sodie,” no idea if that was regional or just him.
My spouse is from that central IL area and also says sodie.
We also used to talk about “booze cruises” where I’m at (northern IL), and she always knew it as “road sodez” (or something like that).
There both wrong the right answer is obviously soda pop water
